CALL for ENTRIES: Emerging Plein Air

Posted on December 19, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CUTS of cold

It isn’t even officially winter yet, and I am already whining about wanting to picnic. I think it is the prevalence of cold cuts at holiday parties that does this to me. That, or my dogged determination to not be happy in whichever food season I find myself. But, I prefer to think it is the subliminal messaging from cold cuts. Four months and counting until I can eat in the open air again. Speaking of open air, check out this next Call. This is a new category of Call for AAAD. Show them some picnic-style love…

Check out this Call for Entries from EPAA (Emerging Plein Air Artists) for Spring 2014 Emerging Plein Air Contest (online). The entry fee is reasonable, the juror is qualified, and this is a category of show that doesn’t frequently come around. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Marfa

Posted on December 15, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

FONDUE-LY
ours

I’ve been searching for a new St. Valentine’s Day activity for years. Our tried ‘n’ true floor picnics with wine-steamed mussels went South when Jon developed an allergy to shellfish. We’ve been floundering since then. Usually we just revert to lamb chops and asparagus at home because we live in the 2nd most popular place to wed in the country. We don’t want to fight the crowds of newly weds for a dinner of processed cheese fondue, a dozen artificially-dyed, neon-red roses and a heart-shaped cardboard box of chocolates. No thanks. O, how I would LOVE to attend a fantastic opening like the one we can expect of this next Call. Alas, only the DEADLINE of this Call is on St. Valentine’s Day. Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from The Biennial Project (East Boston, MA) for the Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 (Marfa, TX). Marfa is the proverbial house that Donald Judd built. Just do your homework. And, if your heart, like mine, has ever longed to be a part of this particularly uber-cool art scene, here’s your chance…

OPEN CALL:
Marfa

This is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick…

The Biennial Project is pleased to announce an open call to artists worldwide for Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 – an online juried competition and screen digital presentation.

Art will be presented as part of a giant screen digital display at The Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 Hoodang (that is a reception for you non-Texans) and Gala being held at world-renowned El Cosmico, the coolest gathering spot for trend-makers in the art-world Mecca of Marfa, Texas.

Now, you may ask…
Why Marfa, Texas?

It all started when the acclaimed minimalist artist Donald Judd left New York City in the 1970s for this dusty dot of a town. With the help of the DIA Foundation, Judd acquired an entire Army base, and before he died in 1994, he filled it with art, including light installations by Dan Flavin and Judd’s own signature boxes. Now it’s a whole creative community.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media that can be captured in a still digital image

DEADLINE:
February 14, 2014

ENTRY FEE:
$35 for up to 3, $5 each additional

JURORS: Members of The Biennial Project – plus a special celebrity guest juror to be announced.

AWARDS: All selected work will be displayed on the Biennial Roadshow website gallery and in a blog posting that reaches an audience of 3,000. Work will also will be included in a digital art display to be shown at The Biennial Project’s Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 Hoodang and Gala.

The Grand Prize is a solo gallery show on the Biennial Roadshow website, and a solo blog posting of 15 pieces work in a blog posting that reaches an audience of 3,000.

CALL for ENTRIES: Neoteric Abstract

Posted on December 13, 2013December 13, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

PO-TAY-TOH
pa-tah-to

What do you want for dinner? I hate saying AND hearing this phrase because it is immediately followed by the shuffling of feet and avoidance of eye contact in the attempt to draw out the silence until my husband breaks the silence and makes the decision. It isn’t that I don’t want to think about it; clearly I think about food ALOT. However, I find it difficult to translate the abstract notion of what I want for dinner into the concrete dish that would be. Getting from idea that I want comfort food to identifying that as potato soup with freshly grated Romano is, well, complicated. I wonder if abstract painters have this same dilemma. If YOUR work is abstract, check out this next Call…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for Neoteric Abstract II. The entry fee is reasonable, and the awards include both an exhibit at the Limner Gallery as well as an opportunity to have your work in the nationally-distributed art magazine, Direct Art. Please don’t miss this double-duty art opportunity!

AVOCADO?

My culinary specialty is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make chocolate mousse out of an avocado, cocoa and honey.

And, while most folks won’t think the kit from this Call is perfect to create a masterpiece, you’ll have all the ingredients; just make it work. Take a look…

FOOD

Can we talk about food porn? I think no one will be shocked to hear that I post pictures of my food to social media. Yes, I am one of those people. But what I want to know is why most people highly filter their pics. You don’t OWE it to the restaurant to make their food look better than it is. So, are you taking pictures of your food to document a beautiful meal or fun experience? OR, are you just trying to “one up” your friends? Maybe food pics should just be representational of what your really see before you–kind of like this next call…

TASTING

My kitchen is neutral; my art is black and white; but, my food is colorful. I’ll pick beets over green beans for color. I’ll take green beans over cauliflower for color. The more saturated the color, the tastier the meal–in my experience. This next Call wants your tastiest morsels of color. Take a look…

Who will be ARTIST of the YEAR?

Posted on December 6, 2013December 6, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SPRINKLE ME

One of the joys of writing posts for this blog is the privilege of reviewing entries into the $5 Art Contest. Choosing a Featured Artist is difficult, but I appreciate the opportunity to do so. Featured Artists are a little like the sprinkles on top of my art community cupcake.

Once a Featured Artist’s post goes live, their job is simply to promote the post to both the benefit of AAAD and their own exposure. Comments generated by their posts are counted at the end of the year, and the post wit the largest number of comments is named Artist of the Year.

In 2010, it was Catherine Roach. She will always have a special place in AAAD’s history. She keeps in touch, and we are so very proud to be a part of her history. In 2011 it was the intricate work of weaver Pamela Zimmerman. Her original interview remains among my favorites. In 2012, it was mixed media collage artist Stephanie Mead’s portraiture work that took my breath away.

Who will be ArtAndArtDeadlines.com’s
2013 Artist of the Year?
That is all up to you.

Look through the 2013 Featured Artist profiles. Leave a comment for your favorite…or more than one. Comments stop being counted after midnight EST on December 31st.

Results will be announced the first week of January!

If you would like to be considered for Featured Artist, enter our $5 Art Contest (that can also be entered for free). Or, if competition isn’t your cup of tea, submit your information to our Artist to Love program and start building a stronger web presence today!

REMINDER: Documentary

Posted on December 6, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

OOPS

Am I the only one that is grateful no one documents their cooking methods? Because I enjoy experimenting with food and cooking, things often go a little off course. When the milk you meant to scald curdles, and the onions you meant to caramelize burn and the pie crust meant to be flaky really just crumbles…well, it is good not to have a record of it sometimes. This next Call is looking for your take on documentary, and it doesn’t have to be your cooking. Take a look…

When I moved recently, I pared down some unnecessary kitchen gadgets–all digital. Among the things I ditched were a digital meat thermometer and a digital kitchen timer. I just prefer the non-digital ones. I never quite trust the digital ones. I’m always concerned about whether the batteries are on the fritz. This next Call, although digital, isn’t one to ditch…

There has to be a place for experimentation in the kitchen AND in the studio. I recently tripped across the Experimental Food Society, an organization for the top UK culinary creatives. Who wouldn’t love a fruit Rubik’s Cube (from the launch of Bompas & Parr’s new book Tutti Frutti, Image by Shaguta Ahmed.) And the Atlantic Ocean gets in my way AGAIN. Maybe one day. 🙂 This next Call could be the home for experimentation in film though. Take a look…
