CALL for ENTRIES: Hidden

Posted on May 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

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…

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAscent (online) for Hidden. Only $15 to enter. Our Featured Artist Sima Schloss, was featured on the cover of the Dark issue in December. Are you next?

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?

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Industrial, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

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

DEADLINE: June 2, 2014

NOTIFICATION: June 9, 2014

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

CALL for ENTRIES: Sirens & Seahorses

Posted on May 12, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

olives or
PEANUT BUTTER

I wax nostalgic around holidays, and Mother’s Day made me think of pimento loaf. When I was around 7, my father & I lived in Little Rock, Arkansas. My Mom wasn’t around (that’s a long story for another time), and my Dad made all my lunches. In his mind, pimento loaf was an appropriate lunch meat for a 7 year old. At night, I would sneak to the bedroom door and whisper “peanut butter & jelly” while he prepared to make my lunch–subliminal influence. I quit getting pimento loaf, and at least 3 days a week, I got Goober Grape®. My Dad never mentioned it. This next Call also conjures images of childhood for me. Maybe my childhood wasn’t the standard. Hmmm…

CALL for ENTRIES: Birds

Posted on May 9, 2014May 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CHICKY

When I was pregnant, I couldn’t eat anything that looked like a bird. The smell of fresh-roasted chicken made me ill. And, while I could eat a chicken nugget or bad, food-service breaded chicken patty, the mere sight of a drumstick would make me violently ill. At the time, I worked behind the cheese counter at The Gourmet Shop–which was, and still is, famous for the hundreds of pounds of chicken salad they make & sell everyday. That job didn’t last long. This next Call IS NOT for roasted birds; I suspect they would prefer imagery of birds that are still very much alive. Just sayin’…

CALL for ENTRIES: Color

Posted on May 7, 2014May 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: REDhanded

Posted on May 3, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RASPBERRIES

That moment when someone unexpectedly walks in the kitchen while you’re cramming the last of the chocolate chips in your mouth like Lucille Ball in a chocolate factory… simply common place at my house.

CALL for ENTRIES: REDhanded

Why RED? Red is the warmest and most striking of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males.

Red is Tuesday’s color. Red roses symbolize passionate love. Red is the color of Mars. Red is the color of blood with strong symbolism as life and vitality. And we believe artists who work in RED understand the power of creating art within shades of red. Here’s hoping to catch you RedHanded! –from the prospectus

MEDIA: Each piece must be created in 50% PLUS shades of red. All works are square in finished orientation, 20”x20” being the largest accepted size.

GARBANZOS

A hummus monster lives at my house. He can go through a tub of hummus a day with corn chips, carrots, pork rinds; it matters not. We often make something instead of buying it to reduce the amount of ingredients and unpronounceable crap in our food. However, if I am going to give in and make 40 spice hummus for the little monster in my house, I’ll have to give up the “fewer ingredients” efforts. (Check out the recipe.) This next Call is looking for the best 40 ingredients for their show. Take a look…

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
