REMINDER: Mobile-O-Graphy

Posted on July 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PURPLE POTATO,
pomegranate

Produce is the every man’s gourmet food. I will try to avoid preaching about the cost of produce being a contributing factor to the unhealthy eating habits of people world wide, but the truth is, I spend a larger percentage of my grocery budget on fresh produce than anything else, including proteins. But if you have the desire for a gourmet treat, it doesn’t have to be thousand-dollar truffle oil or exotic sashimi-grade fish. Try a new fruit. The taste found in a pomegranate is not to be believed. Substitute a purple potato in your recipe. Buy a fresh herb plant for your kitchen window; just one will do. This next Call wants the every man’s gourmet photo–the cell phone pic. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Mobile-O-graphy. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

REMINDER:
Mobile-O-graphy

Images made with mobile phones are becoming part of the photographic mainstream. Made with a phone camera, processed on the phone and even printed from the phone, these images are showing up in exhibitions both as a genre and alongside classic silver gelatin prints. Show them your latest mobile creations.

What distinguishes mobile device photography from that made with other devices? Less and Less. Possibly the fact that you can do it all on one device is unique. Sometimes the images created with mobile devices are more candid. Having a camera with us all the time lets us capture moments that can otherwise escape. Very quickly mobile phones are becoming just another type of camera taking their place alongside pin hole cameras, toy cameras, point and shoot cameras, SLR cameras etc. Here, in the gallery, we say it over and over – it’s not the camera – it’s the photographer’s vision and skill that makes a great photograph. Last year’s mobile phone photography exhibit said it. They want this year’s exhibit to prove it.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

Do you remember when every cookbook offered pictures to help illustrate each step of a recipe? Those days are long gone.

SWEET
‘n’
SALTY

When I think of Canadian foods, I think maple syrup. But, it occurred to me that I don’t have any other pre-conceived notions other than that stereotype. So, I Google’d it. Shockingly, an informal Facebook survey resulted in poutine being voted as Canada’s unofficial national food. Poutine is a French Canadian dish of French fries, topped with brown gravy and cheese curds. French fries, gravy and cheese. What more could you want. Nevertheless, if you go to the opening for this next Call, I am out of syrup. Investigate…

In response, they have now decided to put their experiences as photographers and as curators into practice to help fill this void.

SALES: Artists exhibiting at the gallery may offer their work for sale. PhotoPlace retains 40% commission.

DIPPIN’
in the
DEEP END

Thanks for your patience this week while I took a little unscheduled hiatus. Sometimes you just have to take a break and reset. We are making some significant changes to our diet—moving toward less meat and dairy. In addition, our musical engagements have picked up; I have art submissions to finish, and let’s not forget…blogs to post. The layers of information I sift through everyday can be overwhelming, and then this Call fell into my lap. So appropriate. Layers and layers and layers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Coup d’espace ‐ Palimpasest from the Washington Project for the Arts, a group show that explores Layers of Information. There is no entry fee, but the deadline is only a couple of weeks away. Don’t delay…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Coup d’espace ‐ Palimpasest

We live in a society of layers. Information is plied upon other information. Metadata automatically becomes part of every digital image. Museum exhibitions now include QR codes for additional information. The recent Experimental Media 2012 exhibition included them. The National Gallery and the Museum of Natural History use them. They are ubiquitous.

But what if the QR code became the contemporary representation of information? What if this encoded symbol displaced the original information? It wouldn’t be the first time that newer “text” has superseded the old. Throughout the history of the written word, parchments and vellum have been scraped clean of their original text and reused. Over time, that original text (the scriptio inferior) resurfaces through natural means or scientific research. An immediate relationship between the original text and new text is constructed through their juxtaposition. –from the Prospectus

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Any medium that explores the concepts of Layering and Information. Artists are encouraged to think beyond just the techniques of layering (i.e., Photoshop).

DEADLINE: Monday, July 16, 5pm EDT

NOTIFICATION: Monday, July 23, 2012

ENTRY FEE: None

CURATOR: Steven H Silberg, independent artist & Lecturer of Fine Arts at UMBC and Neil C Jones, independent artist & Professor at MICA and Anne Arundel Community College.

SALES: WPA will take a 50% commission on works sold.

REMINDER: The Art of Photography

Posted on June 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PARSLEY,
please

My parsley is unhappy with me. I’ve been planting a summer garden for the past week, and my husband and I are getting it done in shifts. All of the plants that aren’t in the ground yet have been fairly tolerant when given a little sun, a little shade and a lot of water–except the parsley. I love Italian flat leaf parsley. It isn’t just a garnish, folks. I can’t make chicken soup or marinara without it, but my two parsley plants are protesting having their feet off the ground. This next call has a deadline that is rapidly approaching, too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 8th Art of Photography Show which is being held at the San Diego Art Institute this year. The cost to enter is about average; however, last year, 1700 people attended the reception, and the award are spectacular. That’s a bargain…
