REMINDER: Art Inter/National

Posted on June 4, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

REMINDER:

EAT your
HEART out!

While watching a TV show about how salami is made, my son announced that eating the organs of an animal is wrong. However, when I explained all the things that his new belief would eliminate from his menu, he then asked, “Do they at least WASH the intestines first?” Hehehe. These days I prefer my animal organs in the form of chicken pate, but I will have to start keeping the ingredient list to myself, apparently. This next Call for Entries involves a different sort of heart all together. This could be an excellent opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Secrets and Mysteries

If your audience is standing indefinitely motionless, entranced by the possibilities in your work and in devising an infinitude of scenarios and alternate endings, then you’ve made an image that will inspire gallery visitors with the beauty of ambiguity, mystery and perplexity.

Photographers created images that baffled the viewer as early at the 1860s; Henry Peach Robinson was a pioneer of combination printing, creating the illusory photo montage long before there was Photoshop. Darkroom Gallery wants to see your images that lead the imagination to the edge, encouraging the mind to leap. Multiple exposures, constructions, staged, anything goes, just leave them guessing.

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

JUROR: Opening in Chicago in 1987, the Catherine Edelman Gallery was quick to become one of the Midwest’s leading fine art photography galleries. Director and Owner Catherine Edelman has “a patient eye for artists, tracking their progress [and] representing mature photographers who deliver consistent, quality work, regardless of age or exposure.” Edelman has upheld her original promise to feature prominent Contemporary photographers alongside new and emerging talent, supplying her audience with a refreshing breadth of both subject matter and photographic technique.

Working closely with magazine editors and book publishers, the Catherine Edelman Gallery co-published several monographs and collections, including: Written in Memory: Portraits of the Holocaust, photographs by Jeffrey Wolin (Chronicle Books), Pressure, photographs by Joe Ziolkowski (Pohlmann Press), What Were You Thinking (celebrating the 15 year anniversary of the gallery in association with Paper Mirror Press) and Iron Beauties, a monograph on the work of Chicago photographer Michelle Keim, published by Nazraeli Press.

Catherine Edelman is an executive board member of the Association of International Photography Art Dealers and President of the Chicago Art Dealers Association. In addition to hosting Saturday Morning educational seminars for her community, Edelman recently opened an online gallery of underrepresented local artists, titled “The Chicago Project.”

CALL for ENTRIES: Appropriated Gender

Posted on June 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HEADS and COCKTAILS

Gender roles and alcoholic beverages are laughable. Out of town on business this week, I was sitting in the hotel bar watching women ordering glasses of wine and brightly-colored martinis while men ordered beer and brown liquors. Really, people? I know I live in the South, but do we really have to fulfill this stereotype. Kudos to the couple in the corner– he ordered a daiquiri (umbrella included), and she order a shot of something brown. You saved my night, folks. This next call is all about challenging notions of gender. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Appropriated Gender at the 1310 Gallery in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The entry fee is dirt cheap, and there is so much to say within this theme. Investigate and enter…

Innovation in cooking (and in art) moves slowly. If you watching cooking shows, you would think that sous vide cooking preparation is a hot new technique.

Shows like the one in this next Call will put New Media in the forefront in no time. It is a great opportunity…

Have I mentioned my new obsession with dried fruit enough yet? Well, I just found another reason to love it–approximately twice the fiber. Yep.
