POT

The art in my kitchen is more commonly viewed than any other work in my house. Maybe it is because I spend a lot of time waiting for potatoes to boil and onions to caramelize and cheesecake to bake–actual cheesecake pictured left. My collection ranges from diary collage applied to toasters to beautiful textural miniature abstracts to large flying pigs. This next Call could help you get your work in someone else’s kitchen. Investigate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: Hidden

hidden
INGREDIENTS

My true goal with food is the same with art: to see you be brave. But being brave has to be based on knowledge, not whim. This is true of both food AND art. I would never have you enter a show without doing at least some preliminary research into the venue, gallery, organization or publication. So I want to encourage you never to let a food enter your mouth without a little preliminary research into ingredients or origin. Do me a favor, if I can’t get you to quit eating food with labels, at least read the label. There are scary things hidden in lots of foods. This next Call wants to explore the hidden as well. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Strange Figurations

Posted on May 14, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EGG-BASED love

My kid loves quiche. He requests it for every special occasion–from birthdays to graduations. The secret is 6 eggs to 2 cups of heavy whipping cream for a deep dish, and don’t talk to me about the fat. Really. He rarely cares what’s in it, but when I’m looking for brownie points, I throw in bacon and/or pepperoni. I do it for the look on his face. How strange it is to see him look lovingly at a brunch food. This next Call is looking for your strange figurations–and not just the faces. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Industrial

Posted on May 13, 2014May 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

a MILK MUSTACHE
& public service

I need a food segue about Colorado, but did you know that Colorado doesn’t even have a state food? So bizarre. Truth be told, when I hear Colorado— specifically, Pueblo, Colorado–I always think of the PSAs that ran between Saturday morning cartoons when I was little. I am sure I am giving away my age, but I can clearly remember having a milk mustache and hearing, “For more information, write to ‘Pueblo, Colorado, 81009’,” (home of the Federal Citizen Information Center). It is a shame that sort of random trivia doesn’t make me a genius. This next Call hails from Pueblo, and genius would come in handy. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Kadoya Gallery (Pueblo, CO) for Industrial. This gallery claims its focus as “emerging creative genius”! What’s not to love about that criteria? I’m full of creative genius. You too?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Industrial

One may characterize industrial as large metal structures, both new and aged, twisting and climbing their way into focus, tightly-wound steel cables, factory floors, and the heavy iron of old railroad trusses. Within the notion of the industrial, however, there is an human emotional attachment connected to the laborer and labor movement, as well. We challenge you to take this subject in any direction and focus you may feel fits the theme.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all photographic processes

TOMATOES
extra fructose?

I had brown tomatoes at dinner tonight, and they were NOT rotten. They were Kumatoes–a hybrid developed in Spain. I noted they were a touch sweeter, but less exotic tasting than they appeared. But, I can’t resist a weird fruit or vegetable, so I tried them as a part of a Caprese Salad. Pretty, but forgettable. This next exhibit is all about Color as well; just make sure you don’t send pretty-but-forgettable work. Take a look…

Since diagnosed with a wheat allergy, bread isn’t an option for my family. And honestly, I don’t really miss it. We’ve come up with alternatives for pizza dough, cookie dough and pie crust.

FIRED UP

How did grilling become the domain of men in TV commercial land? Is it the fire? If yes, how is fire masculine? Is it just the grilling of meat specifically, or is it equally masculine to grill eggplant? How do these idiotic ideas start? We’ll this next Call is looking for explorations of what it means to be male–even the stereotypes. So, fire up your grill and serve them a hot one…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for XY. Low entry ($24) plus free matting & framing. I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: XY

Photographs of the strengths and virtues of masculinity coupled with the Achilles’ heel of meeting these stereotypes.

Do all men have power? Do all men want power? Is masculinity the same in every culture and time period? Does the performance of masculinity depend on the categories of race, class, and sexuality? The answer to the first three questions is a resounding no, while the answer both to the fourth one is a clear yes.

Darkroom Gallery is calling for photographs that explore the field of cultural, social, historical, political, psychological, economic, and artistic constructions of masculinity. What makes something or someone “male”? These definitions change with communities across the world and throughout history. There is a tense and complex relationship between hegemonic masculinities & subordinate masculinities. Throughout history, men have paid a steep price for not adhering to, or consciously resisting, stereotypical masculine models. Let’s remember sex and gender are separate entities.

Wanted are images interrogating these male ideals: photographs of warriors, fathers, of wimps and muscle men. Little boys can be “snakes and snails and puppy dog tails” but they can also love the color pink. Inanimate objects can imply such meanings. In the wake of patriarchal fanfare show us the vulnerability, gentleness and supple subtleties behind what is means to inhibit/exhibit being “male”. — from darkroomgallery.com
