CALL for ENTRIES: Figure Revealed

Posted on June 24, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

BUTTER BEANS
or butter AND beans

My husband is a string bean. He is six feet tall and has spent most of the past 15 years struggling to hang on to 145 lbs all while consuming every meal as though it were it last. Yes, it IS annoying. But, changes in the fat & protein content in our diet over the past year have resulted in his gaining about 10 lbs and a pant size. I’m tickled. He’s still a string bean, but age is revealing a completely different figure. This next Call asks for more figures revealed. In the meantime, it is hollandaise & a spoon for dinner…

LEMONS
& vinegar

Good food is all about balance, and it seems that a lot of commercial cooks and chefs are not cooking with a “full deck.” The most common mistake? A lack of acid. A little lemon will transform your cheesecake from cloyingly sweet to perfectly delectable. A little red wine vinegar will make your tuna salad memorable. This next Call is looking for your take on working with less than a “full deck.” Great theme…

RARE
please

I like my eggs over easy and my steak & tuna rare, maybe medium rare–depending on where I am.

The opportunity offered by this next Call is equally rare. Please pay attention to this one…

SHOPPING
in my sleep

Sometimes it seems as though the days of half-hour grocery trips were only a dream, but I know it really happened, right? These days it take at least 90 minutes to read all the labels, pick the lesser of the evils AND search for the best deals. But, I believe in a future that allows me to grow most of my food. Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream. This next Call wants to know how it happens in your dreams. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
This May Have Happened

The power of photography as document or proof is well-demonstrated. Photographic images are often crafted to exist alone, as singular facts.

At the same time, the narrative possibilities of still photography develop from the power of suggestion, the potential of the open-ended scene, the unresolved thrill of the cliff-hanger. The stories that these images suggest may or may not be factual, but their power comes from allowing the audience to bring its own sense of plot and tension to the work. We are looking as much for questions as we are for answers.

Think noir. Think sweeping epic. Think fairy tale. Think cause and effect. Think characters.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all photographic work.

DEADLINE: July 18, 2014

NOTIFICATION: Mid-August

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

CALL for ENTRIES: From Our Perspectives

Posted on June 18, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HOT STUFF
please

My perspective on what makes for the perfect food shifts every few years. Occasionally I get stuck in a phase for a while. I worshiped all things spicy for 5+ years, and now I’ve been stuck on the piquant tang of goat cheese for 10+ years. Taste buds only live about 10 days, so that gives lots of opportunity for a change of taste. This next Call wants a female perspective, but not necessarily on food (although it isn’t excepted). I encourage you to take on some academic shows. How about this one, ladies?

oh my!

My current kitchen kryptonite is the potato. I love them. I love them. I love them. They do not love me. They spike my blood sugar–which is fun, I’ll admit. But the eventual crash off the sugar results in my desire to stuff my face and take a 3-day long nap. I never realized how many I ate until I started trying to reduce my sugar intake. Wish me luck. This next Call will let you expose your own kryptonite, or not. Take a look…

Nectarines, peaches & plums are back in season, and I am so excited. The peaches and nectarines aren’t quite ripe, but I like fruit a little under-ripe. Weird, I know.

PEANUT BUTTER

My culinary super power is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make a beautiful breakfast muffin from peanut butter and flax seeds. And yes, I can make cookies out of peanut butter, honey and a single egg. Okay, maybe I can just make anything out of peanut butter–the perfect ingredient. But, not everything comes with the perfect ingredients. 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…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

FOOD ISN’T BLUE

I have an aversion to blue foods. Blueberries & blue potatoes are really both fairly purple. Every other blue food I can think of is artificial and always screams, “bio-hazard” at me like blue drinks, candies and frosting. But have you every noticed if you go to a carnival, 5 out of 6 kids have blue rings around their mouths or blue tongues from shaved ice or cotton candy or gummy worms? Is it an age thing? I don’t know. Just don’t try to feed me your entry for this next show and we’ll be all good. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Blue. Low entry ($24) plus a great juror. If you gotta be blue, do it this way…

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let the Darkroom know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends of AAAD, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

Blue is a favorite color of all people, yet it has more complex and contradictory meanings than any other hue.

Throughout the ages, as the natural world’s color for water and sky, blue lends itself to spiritual and heavenly leanings. In these modern days, blue is embraced as the color of heaven and authority, denim jeans and corporate logos. Most blues convey a sense of trust, loyalty, cleanliness, and understanding. On the other hand, blue evolved as symbol of depression in American culture. “Singing the blues” and feeling blue” are good examples of the complexity of color symbolism and how the color has been evolved in different cultures.

For this show Darkroom Gallery is looking for all types of blue images & meanings. All the variances of the color: electric, royal, baby, periwinkle, azure, midnight, navy, dark and light. We are intrigued by naturally occurring blues and man-made blues alike. Whole images consisting of the color, or the choice sections of a photograph that astutely display the power of blue. — from darkroomgallery.com

Pimento cheese is known as the caviar of the South. It is fundamentally made with American cheese which isn’t actually cheese. So can you make authentic pimento cheese with a faux ingredient?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Faux Real

Though the idea of the ‘real’ has a multitude of meanings, it has been endlessly interpreted by artists and holds particular significance in our ever-changing world.

Artists approach reality and its relationship to representation through numerous types of media and with many distinctive standpoints. The term ‘reality’ has been consistently redefined and broadened to include new realms, like the virtual, the personal, the unscripted, the digital, the hallucinogenic.

Non-Fiction Gallery is looking for works that explore the many facets of the concept of reality.
