REMINDER: Soap Factory Open Call

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!LESS TALKING,
more eating

There is a point at which loving food turns into a food obsession. I am self-aware enough to know that I have long passed that point.  I cannot simply EAT anything.   Eating requires dissection and discussion before digestion.  Dinner is often cold by the time it is eaten fully.  Likewise, I meet emerging artists simply obsessed with conquering their first solo show.  This next call will require your own dissection and discussion before digestion. Bon appetite…

Check out this Open Call from The Soap Factory (Minneapolis, MN). The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit. Did I mention NO ENTRY FEE?

Dinner is cooked (and eaten) in either undies or pajamas in my house. My husband usually cooks dinner.  Dinner is cooked directly after work.  My husband is a commercial potter.  How are these connected?  My hubby is forced (by me) to get out of his clay embedded clothing in the garage to prevent a gray trail in his wake.  So, he cooks in whatever was under his clothes or pajamas if he makes it that far.  This next call WANTS your clay, but please don’t attend the opening in your undies.  Take a look…

Frequently, the sense memory I have with food OFTEN brings me to a specific place.  Antipasti reminds me of romantic living room picnics with my sweet husband that have become the tradition of our marriage.  Boiled peanuts remind me of combing the flea markets of South Carolina for hidden treasures.  Soft, doughy pretzels remind me of laughing hysterically with my kid on the Scrambler at the State Fair.  This next Call’s exhibit is located in a fantastic space of its own.  Take a look!

A lack of time is the excuse for a lot of quickie meals in my house–from Manwich® to frozen “cardboard” pizza.  But a lack of time is also my excuse for splurging at the antipasti bar in my local grocery store.  It is a double standard, but who uses TOO MUCH time as an excuse for anything?  This next Call doesn’t have a lot of time left, but they’ll take all the time you have.  You’ll see what I mean…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Random Acts of Time

Learn more about the Orange County Center for Contmeporary Art - OCCCA!“This exhibition investigates our relationship to the concept of time, the choices we make and the random, uncontrollable events that shape our lives. From the moment we begin our journey into the cacophony of the world – a series of decisions, choices and twists of fate guide us – often lurching or blissful and occasionally tragic. What have we chosen for ourselves? When has our hand been forced? Have random or serendipitous events changed our course? Have we triumphed? What have we lost? What have we remembered and forgotten?

“Time is a recurring thematic in artists’ works – witness the public response and fascination with Christian Marclay’s 24-hour montage The Clock. Exploring that inexorable passage via divergent points-of-view, media and imagery demands introspection and perspective. This exhibition will investigate what binds or propels us, notions of conscious or unconscious experiences and the narratives we collect as we negotiate our lives.” –William Moreno, Juror

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All media and new media will be considered. Artwork, performance, or installations with special instructions or equipment must be described in full and possibly installed by the artist. Special hardware requirements must be included with the accepted entries.

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.

Genetically modified food scares the crap out of me. I understand, economically speaking, why food is modified.   But it doesn’t matter how much disease-resistant, mutant corn you can produce if everyone has three heads and glows in the dark.  Am I suggest that genetically-modified corn causes these symptoms? No.  I am suggesting that none of us know WHAT the end result could be.  I’m planting heirloom varieties in my patch in the back yard this year.  This Call certainly encourages you to beauty and vulnerability of the endangered and the threatened.
