Seafood?

I long to live off the grid, both for the consumption of energy resources AND for culinary purposes.  I am not the greenest or environmentally conscious person that ever lived.  My family and I do what we can.  But, we long to live off the grid via solar power, cistern water collection and home-grown food.  We want a life free of debt for electricity, water and groceries.  I haven’t figured out how to tackle the seafood and cell phone issue, but I stand in awe of at least the idea of depending solely on nature for survival. This next call invites you to celebrate the wonder of nature.  Great opportunity for a California show!

NUTS for
LOBSTER

When I think of Georgia, I start craving lobster bisque.  Yes, I know that Georgia is the Peach State, but as I have mentioned before… I have peach issues.  Georgia conjures images of trips to Savannah with my mother for glorious lunches at the River House of Caesar salad made fresh at our table, rich and creamy lobster bisque, and a huge slice of pecan pies.  You can’t touch that with peaches.  So this next Call is over 250 miles from Savannah, but it is still Georgia.  If you can’t find the bisque while at the opening, pecan pie can’t be far away…

CANNED FOOD

There are very few truly black foods.  Black truffles, black and white cookies, squid ink pasta… none of those are truly black in color.  When I think of black foods, one shining, delicious example comes through immediately. Wild sturgeon roe from the Caspian Sea… Caviar.  Yes, fish eggs.  If you can’t get over what it is long enough to try it, you are missing out one of the culinary wonders of the world.  It doesn’t have to cost thousands.  Like wine out of a box, there is an audience for every grade of caviar.  This next Call takes the black caviar out of the tin and into the box, the Black Box.  Keep reading…

Narrative

One Picture is worth a thousand words is a common belief that information can be conveyed more accurately and efficiently by images than words.  And the power of narrative, or story telling is at the foundation of much of photography.  Photograhers are creating complex and descriptive moments in time.  Contemporary photographers are crafting and documenting new forms of a visual short story.

ELIGIBILITY:  The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, both amateur and professional.

MEDIA:  Photography.  Black Box will provide all framing, matting and printing for our exhibitions. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high resolution Tiff file for our gallery to print for the exhibition.  Black Box covers all printing and framing costs.

MUSTARD
du jour?

Spontaneous food creation is my favorite kitchen activity.  There is nothing more exciting than finding a use for dijon mustard when it is the last seasoning you have left because you haven’t had time to make it to the grocery store this week.  By the way, dijon mustard makes an excellent oil-free way to thicken homemade salad dressings. This next call asks you to submit your best spontaneous, unrehearsed  photography for exhibition.  I love this idea…

on chocolate

It has been suggested that I seek professional help for my food obsession.  However, like any well-seasoned food addict, I prefer to think of myself as food-educated or food-curious, not just food-obsessed.  I’m certain a psychoanalyst could figuratively feast on my many stufffed, food-related issues.  Where’s the couch? (Speaking of couches, check out the cake couch entitled “You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too”, the chocolate couch was created by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich for an art-exhibit appropriately named “Let Them Eat Art”.) Maybe this next call would give me some insight.  Never miss an opportunity to self-analyze, ha…

TEMPTED?

We’ve all been told not to play with our food.  And, none of us really understood why parents made this blanket statement.  As an adult, I still don’t understand why.  If my kid wants to play with his food then have to eat it while it is cold… well, those are his lumps in his potatoes, not mine.  Apparently, I’m not alone in valuing the play-value of food.  Take a look at a great book called Food Play by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann (not paid sponsors, I assure you).  This next Call certainly encourages you to play, but not necessarily with your food.  Investigate for yourself…

TOYS, Re-Invent, Re-Imagine, Re-Discover

 

Learn more about the Toys show at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden!This exhibit seeks works of art that use toys and children’s playthings as the inspiration, subject matter, and/or medium with the goal of creating playful, amusing, nostalgic, or poignant commentaries on the role of toys in our lives. Many of us hold fond memories of special toys that yielded hours of entertainment and can vividly remember when a treasured toy was lost, broken, stolen, or otherwise retired.

For these reasons and more, toys can be a powerful art medium, conjuring up both treasured and difficult memories of childhood, past friendships, and other recollections. From the utterly outrageous to the sappy and sentimental, this exhibit will include all media, small to large scale. The exhibit will be installed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building, but a small number of outdoor works will be considered for the Sculpture Garden.  The jury seeks works that are engaging, and fun, and above all, playful!

ELIGIBILITY:  The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.

You know what I haven’t eaten in years?

Farm fresh eggs make me happy the same way daisies make others smile.  The only thing close to farm fresh is a Grade AA (found in upscale restaurants and better grocery stores).  Most of us eat Grade A eggs from the grocery store with flatish, lemony-yellow yolks, but a fresh egg typically has a bright golden yolk that stands tall when cracked.  Years ago, when my husband owned a hot dog shop called the Dog & Cow, he used to trade left over hot dogs (used as chicken feed) for fresh eggs.  The eggs had the wonderful aroma of garlic from gourmet hot dogs.  We KNEW what we were eating, ha.  The gallery in this Call also makes me happy with it’s sort of blatant in-your-face optimism and simplicity.  Take a look…
