CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Pop Up Billboard Exhibit

Posted on December 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

WELL-WORN PATHS

I get lots of requests for restaurant recommendations. And, I think sometimes people are disappointed when I give them the stereotypical answers, but famous places are famous for a reason. For example, I would never visit New Orleans without a trip to the Cafe du Monde for beignets and cafe au lait or to Central Grocery for a muffuletta. If you “pop-in” to this next show opening, make sure to check out my favorites. Is it lunch yet?

Check out this Call for Submissions from Art Below for the Pop-Up Billboard Exhibit and Gallery Orange co-exhibit in New Orleans. The fees are huge, but you can’t ask for better exposure. Take a look…

Running alongside the billboard display you will also be invited to exhibit your selected artwork as part of the Art Below ‘Pop Up’ Group Show for the month of February at Gallery Orange located in the world famous French Quarter.

Editor’s note: I know this is a HUGE expense for many of you; however, if you look into the price of a billboard along any interstate (never mind this one is in the French Quarter during Mardi Gras) and you will quickly realize that this is A DEAL…IF AND ONLY IF this is the appropriate step in your career at this particular time.

JUROR: The jury process is unclear. However, my knowledge of Art Below indicates you probably can’t simply buy your way into this one.

CEREAL
or TREASURE?

Every home-cooked meal is a hand-made treasure. It does not matter what it is–from frozen pizza to chocolate souflee. Most of us would just eat a bowl of cereal if weren’t for the other people in our lives that need to be nourished, physically and otherwise. So regardless of the content, every meal is a gift.

RAIL road trip

Don’t you want to have a Club sandwich in the Club Car of a long-distance train? It it just me? Admittedly, I just watched White Christmas again. I just watched them all sing “Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow.” Now that I think about it, we never do SEE those sandwiches…just the aftermath. Hmmm… While I ponder the snowy landscape of napkins in that train car, you ponder the “metaphoric landscape of place” in this next Call. Go ponder…

CALL for ENTRIES: Absence of Color

Posted on December 21, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CABBAGE,
not KRAUT

People tell me the wackiest food facts. I love hearing them, and I usually assume I am being told the truth. But, just to be certain, I always verify the facts if I can. Recently someone told me that the black and white cookie, that I alway think of as German in orgin, IS actually German, but it is called an Amerikaner. There has to be some cyclical humor in the fact that an American who thought she was a fan of German cookies is really only a fan of cookies that Germans refer to as American cookies. Funny. This next call is all about Black and White, too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Black & White: Absence of Color from MPLS Photo Center (Minneapolis, MN). This is a great venue and a great juror. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Black & White: Absence of Color

The world’s first photographic images were made in shade of gray, black, and white, and the black and white photograph continues to be an important palette for photographers today. The beauty of a well-printed black and white photograph is undeniable—it is striking, unearthly, and can be life changing.

Some of the world’s most memorable photographs are black and white—the rich blacks, glowing whites, and silvery grays of a strong, black and white photograph leave a lasting impression on the mind. For photographers, those deep blacks hold a special significance, as it is the black tones that reveal themselves first in photographic chemistry and communicate the magic, mystery, and possibility of the photographic process.

Black and white photographs can have painterly, etching-like qualities, which were celebrated by photography’s inventors and early adopters. Photography as art was first championed with The Photo-Secessionists who celebrated the pictorial aspect of the black and white image. Today photography is widely accepted as an art form and as a key medium within contemporary and conceptual art.

The choice of using black and white versus color is the photographer’s choice, and the reasons for that choice can be personal, theoretical, or aesthetic. This call for entry—Black and White—The Absence of Color—looks to grays and blacks and whites to tell the story and make the picture that color would often muddy.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: Jan. 21st, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Jan. 29th, 2012

ENTRY FEE: $35 for five, $10 ea. add’l

CALL for ENTRIES: You’ll Find this Offensive

Posted on December 19, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NO FINGER LICKIN’

I learned table manners in “finishing” class. No, I am not kidding. I went to a southern, Protestant private school through sixth grade. All 5th grade girls took “finishing class” in which we learned posture by walking with books on our heads. We learned that our waist should be 10″ smaller than our bust and hips. And we learned both how to set a table and how to behave while sitting at the table. No really, I’m not kidding. And while I have clearly let go of the 10″-smaller-than-my-bust-and-hips lesson, I still find bad table manners offensive. This next show is looking for something a little more extreme, I suspect. Whatcha got, folks?

CALL for ENTRIES: Monochromatic

Posted on December 18, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEET me PURPLE

I prefer my foods on the edge of extreme–from color to taste. My newest favorite are little purple, fingerling potatoes. Yum. In addition to being beautiful, those brightly colored foods tend to be higher in iron and anti-oxidants that your body needs to be healthy. I have sworn of the beige potato chip or two, but I’ll take beets instead on most days. This next show is interested in the black and white extremes. Investigate…

“The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value…“Ansel Adams, The Camera

“A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.” Edward Steichen

These two masters enriched the history of photography by being some of the first to experiment with new technologies in a relatively new art medium. They were also traditionalists and truly embraced manual and old photography processes. The hundred and fifty photographers from Steichen’s world is millions today, and finding “as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made” is no longer as simple.

Digital cameras and editing software have transformed the medium and opened up whole new worlds for the 21st century photographer. We have dozens of “aps” that help us tweak a digital image to “perfection” in minutes. A vast repertoire of image resources we look to for inspiration and meaning still brings us to the same point of reflection as photographers of the early 20th century: what is the art of photography?

Black and white photography, a genre that many would claim made them fall in love with image-making in the first place, has remained completely relevant and contemporary despite it’s ancient roots. It is timeless, sometimes soft, sometimes dramatic and brings new perspective to images and image making. Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop craftperson, show us your love for hue-less images. The Darkroom Galllery wants to see YOUR best black and white or alternative process images for an exhibit that will pay tribute to the origins of photography and praise it’s development.

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

MEDIA: Photography. Monochrome images from traditional silver black and whites to cyanotypes, sepia toned photographs and anything else in the color-less spectrum.

DEADLINE: Jan. 25, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Feb. 1, 2012

JUROR: Growing up in southern Poland, Rafal Maleszyk spent his childhood and early years in post-communist Poland. He first started exploring photography using a 35mm Kiev on his fourteenth birthday.

In 2009, he moved to the Oahu island of Hawaii, where he now works as a professional fine art black and white landscape photographer, specializing in large format prints series using a digital medium format Hasselblad camera. Maleszyk has received numerous awards for his work.

Posted on December 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PASS the LOAM

Earthy foods are yummy. I know that is obvious to many of you. But, I have to say that learning to appreciate earthy foods is the biggest change in my palate over the years. I’m still not a fan of what I call “dirt crackers.” I DO have my earthy limits, but I am in love with whole grains, whole foods, in fact. And the earthiness of merlot doesn’t exactly hurt my feelings. Food should taste like itself, not the over-refined, processed version of itself that is so cheaply and readily available these days. This next show wants to see earthy through your eyes. Interesting…

Posted on December 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

HEARTS of PALM,
anyone?

Heart smart foods have become the norm in my house. I have scary-low blood pressure, and my doc says it makes me far less likely to have a heart attack or stroke. However, my husband is one of those string beans that can consume 5000 calories per day. If Captain Consumption is going to grow old with me, the meats are going to have to be lean, the vegetables plentiful, whole grains a constant and cheese…just an occasional indulgence. This next show is in the Heartland; do you think they eat any heart-healthier there? Let me know…
