CALL for ENTRIES: Intelligent Objects

Posted on January 22, 2015February 25, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

THE FOOD
process

I find myself conflicted over food technology. While I appreciate the safety found in canning, freeze drying, pasteurization and more, I also have an undeniable desire to eat organic, heirloom varieties grown by my own hand. I know the answer is balance, but I remain conflicted about my relationship with the technological aspect of the food I consume–with every bite some days. This next Call focuses on the interaction, emotional & otherwise, between humans and their technological objects. This will be an intriguing show. Take a look…

Artistic “intelligence” may be static imagery, even represented by simple code. –from the prospectus

CALL for ENTRIES: Black & White

ALL GREEN
no gray

Cilantro is a polarizing subject in my family. It is all black and white–absolutely no gray area. For more than 1/2 of my extended family, cilantro is nausea-inducing at the mere thought. I, however, cannot imagine life without tomatillo & cilantro salsa. (It contains nearly equal parts of each.) I try not to judge them. When I was younger, I always thought ginger tasted the same as I imagine lemon-scented furniture polish might taste. Now I love it on nearly anything. This next Call is an excellent reason to see all of the world in black and white. You be the judge…

EVERY POT

One of the most valuable lessons of culinary school was stock-making. It is the building block of many of my kitchen masterpieces.

CALL for ENTRIES: Downeast

Posted on January 15, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

EAST WEST
food divide

Food, like language & art, is often just a matter of perspective. When I say Eastern food, does that conjure images of Chinese take out or Carolina BBQ? Does Western food conjure images of Tex-Mex or a California roll? It is all perspective For the record, MY answers would be BBQ & sushi. To be clear, this next “Downeast” Call refers to the Carolina, but it is open to everyone. And, now I want BBQ. Pick me up some pulled pork if you go to the opening. Take a look…

Posted on January 12, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

just a
LITTLE BITE

Smaller isn’t always the same. Every member of my household is an avid label reader due to food allergies. One of the most important lessons we have learned is that miniature and compact versions of foods are not necessarily the same, nutritionally speaking. I find miniatures of candy bars are often sweeter due to a different ratio of ingredients than the originals. Sometimes, they add thickeners or starches to help them better hold their more compact shape as well. Be careful. This next show is all about the VIRTUES of being compact. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Feminist Sex

Posted on January 11, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

WIENERS,
anyone?

How did operating a grill become a feminist issue? I can’t tell you how many female friends I have that defer grilling activities to the men in their lives under the guise of not knowing “how to do it”. Really? Amongst this group of women who are financiers, scientists, diplomats & artists, no one can operate a grill? Please. Maybe they are just faking it, like me, to avoid the additional work occasionally. *Shhh* This next Call has NOTHING to do with the grilling of meat and EVERYTHING to do with feminism. Take a look…

Posted on January 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

JUST SAY NO
the brown has gotta go

I’m growing weary of brown foods. We don’t often fry anything in our house, and we don’t eat wheat. But, because we try our very best not to eat processed or artificially-colored food, the color in our diets almost solely depends on fresh vegetables. There isn’t an abundance of beautifully colored veggies in season right now. And, I can only eat so many servings of spinach and so many servings of sweet potatoes. Bring on the beets, please. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. I know it is. In the meantime, lets all direct our rainbow-coloured desires to this next Call. Take a look…

LINING UP
for dinner

As linear foods go, I make a mean grilled eggplant lasagna. I don’t usually fall for the layered foods like 7-layer dips and trifles, but lasagna is the exception. Most people are replacing the meat when they use eggplant in lasagna, I’m really replacing the noodles. While I can find wheat-less pasta of most types, lasagna noodles have eluded me. So, eggplant makes a gorgeous replacement. I make it in a glass plan just to get the composition perfect. Ridiculous. This next Call is a far better use of a line obsession. Take a look…

Lines

Lines are powerful compositional elements that control the way eyes move through an image. The effect that lines have on an image varies. Horizontal lines convey a sense of width, stability, calm, lazy, security, relaxation, constancy and timelessness.
