Posted on May 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CHICK, CHICK,
chick-a-pea

Snacks rule my world. Of my total consumption of calories each day, I find snack comprise more of the total than meals. Small snacks are my favorite. Wasabi crusted peas are a fantastic pick-me-up, but on a rainy day, toasted chickpeas are my go-to comfort food. This next Call wants your small favorites, too. Investigate for yourself…

OPEN CALL: Lux Center

Posted on May 8, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CHEAP,
not crazy

I am a culinary cheapskate, of sorts. I try to limit the cost of a home-cooked meal’s protein to $2 to $4–total, not per pound. It comes from years of having no choice; however, I have these budgetary restriction to partially thank for my culinary creativity. You try having chicken, turkey, eggs or pork 4 days in a row; it will make you creative too. Now I will still buy a lux bottle of vinegar for $15, but I have priorities, ha. This next call is for the LUX Center, but it isn’t necessarily the theme. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Show of Heads

Posted on May 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HEADS UP

Goat heads, really? Caught a show called Extreme Cheapskates the other day just long enough to see a man by two goat heads for $7.50 total. In many parts of the world, goat heads are a common protein, and I’m not knocking it because I haven’t eaten it. My problem with the concept is that he was supposed to be an extreme cheapskate. I can buy 10 lbs. of chicken quarters for $6. Who knows. This next call won’t take hind quarters. Heads only please…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illusion

Posted on May 2, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SURPRISE ME,
please

Rustic food is all the rage. Country tarts offer simple ingredients in a simple package. But I am still a sucker for elaborately top-crusted pies. A beautiful lattice can hide the simplest of ingredients. One of the best confections I ever ate looked like a simple pecan pie but turned out to be filled with a fudge and coconut concoction that I can still conjure in my head by simply closing my eyes. This next call wants your illusion, be it simple or complex. Take this chance…

GROUCHY
BERRIES

I AM an emotional eater, and “grumpy” is not an unusual reason for a snack at my house. Just like when I am sick, it is comfort (read junk) food that elevates my mood. Macaroni and cheese, potato chips and dip, tortilla chips and salsa, peanut butter and donuts (this one may just be me), baked brie ‘n’ raspberries…all reasons for a happy face and, in my case, a larger arse. But sometimes, you have to do something just because it makes you happy. This next Call makes me happy, and I hope that is a good enough reason for you to enter. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Beyond the Border

Posted on April 28, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TIME to
MARINATE

My favorite Mexican food is fish. Many Americans have been lulled into thinking of the local fast food taco as representative of Mexican cuisine. But you haven’t eaten truly representative food, in my opinion, until you have had authentic fish seviche marinated in citrus and chiles. This Call encourages you to capture your view of the issues that surround the Mexico border! Say it with art…

Check out the Call for Entries for Beyond the Border from the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, AZ. The entry fee is standard, but you’re allowed to send details…even of two-dimensional work. For those of you wanting to add Arizona to your resume, this is a GREAT opportunity!

Artists are encouraged to submit art that explores this impact and how changing policy is affecting the environment and/or people. The intent of this exhibition is not to advocate for or against any position, policy or political figure; rather, Beyond the Border offers an opportunity for stories to be shared and questions to be raised that allow viewers to explore the consequences of intensified focus on this region.

Raechel Running’s humanitarian and conservation work represents her five year visual odyssey through the borderlands of Chihuahua and Sonora Mexico. Her images document the history and express the surreal magic, irony and the beauty of the enduring Spirit of the Mexican people connected to the bi-national landscape and history, caught in-between worlds, and divided by border policies. Shawn Skabelund is a conceptual artist who does site specific, place-based installations exploring culture/nature issues.

AWARDS: Stipends in the amount of $250 (to cover costs associated with providing art for the exhibition) will be granted to 4 artists whose accepted entries best exemplify the spirit of Beyond the Border.

FOREVER 25

Just a year or so after the 25th anniversary of my birth, I began my love affair with cheese. Well, more accurately, I began working behind the counter of a gourmet cheese shop.

This next call wants to see your perspective on the past 25 years’ events. Whatcha got?

HOT SUMMER
nights

Summer and a milestone birthday for me are rapidly approaching. I feel the need to throw a theme party with garden lanterns, red plaid table cloths, paper plates and a watermelon-spitting seed contest. Not your idea of summer? Maybe its a Southern thing. This next call is serving up three provoking themes. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
June Installationz

This June, ARTs East New York is hosting a pop-up gallery tour and invites artists in all disciplines to submit work for exhibition relating to the three themes below. All three exhibitions will be part of a one-night pop-up gallery tour on June 22nd in East New York. I ART East New York will be displayed in establishments around the New Lots Triangle. Juneteeth will be showcased about the perimeter of the New Lots Library. Threadz will have a month long run at the ARTs East New York gallery.

I ART East New York: East New York might be somewhere you visit, the place where you work or the community you call home. Even if you’ve only heard about the neighborhood, we invite you to explore East New York through your art. Pieces that most creatively and positively portray the culture, character and community of this Brooklyn destination will be chosen for exhibition.

Juneteenth: A Revelation of Freedom: Juneteenth commemorates the day on which African Americans in Texas, who had been kept enslaved two and a half years past the abolition of slavery, finally received news of their freedom. For this exhibit, we are requesting works that celebrate this moment of enlightenment, pay homage to ancestors who afforded this autonomy and investigate the African diaspora at large as a legacy of liberation. Pieces that best honor and examine the legacy of the African experience in the United States will be included in this important exhibit.

Threadz: Untwining Mistaken Messages Within the Fabric of Hip Hop. The tragic murder of Trayvon Martin forces us to think seriously about perceptions of Hip Hop culture and its representations in mainstream society. The reigning image of Black youth centers on the Hip Hop aesthetic, a mode of expression that can be identified by styles of art and fashion. We ask artists to examine Hip Hop as a depiction of the urban lifestyle, its reception by the larger public and its potential for positively reflecting the African American youth experience. This exhibition is being held in honor of Trayvon Martin, and works speaking directly to this heartbreaking death, and its connection to Hip Hop, are especially encouraged.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media

DEADLINE: May 11, 2012

NOTIFICATION: End of May

ENTRY FEE: No fee

JUROR: A committee will make the final selections for the show.
