Posted on October 8, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

FROM SHIP TO SHORE

Letting go of most of my stuff a few years ago was a life-altering experience. When I decided to move to Gatlinburg, it just happened that the mountain-top chalet I chose came completely furnished. After some thought, my husband and I decided to keep our own dishes & cookware, computers & TVs, art & art supplies and all of our child’s furniture and toys. Everything else had to go. I could pack everything I own in one day. That’s freedom, folks.

This Call for Entries is another symbol of freedom. What do you get when you cross a university art department, a dilapidated storage container, wooden palates and a few solar panels? An art gallery, of course. The folks at Container Space are looking for submissions for work for the 2011 season. Check it out…

Editor’s Note: I know, I know. I can smell the paranoid, suspicious email headed my way about how I shouldn’t promote Calls from newbies. Bottom line…we all start somewhere. They are building a blog and finding a few fans on facebook too.

This blog is only a year old. If everyone had been suspicious, I wouldn’t have a few hundred of you mixed nuts reading these posts everyday. Then where would we all be (she says with an exaggerated sense of self-importance)? Have a little faith, folks. When you expect the best…you very often get it.

WEARING WAFFLES

I am a wierdo, admittedly. I am obsessed with food. I don’t drink coffee. I rarely wear pants. I won’t do much that can’t be done in four inch heels, and I don’t like prints…unless they are geometric. Oh yeah, that is just the tip of the weirdness iceberg. I like geometric food too…Gorgeous round egg yolks, little logs of goat cheese, and the perfect grid of a golden waffle.

Gallery Statement: “Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its ‘Open Call’ exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown.

“The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980’s) where every work submitted is exhibited.

“The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where culture belongs to the ‘mobblogers’ around the globe.

“From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of “Snap to Grid” becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.”

CALL for ENTRIES: I Am Solitary…Again

Posted on September 24, 2010November 15, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

COOK ALREADY!

I write a lot about the recipe for success, about using the best ingredients, about never over-cooking. I don’t like to talk about the burnt bread of it all. But the truth is that even when you follow the recipe, sometimes the souflee just doesn’t rise. You can’t take it personally; you just have to get back in the kitchen.

I entered the original Beers Lambert I Am Solitary call posted on this site…and my souflee didn’t rise. However, I am going back to the kitchen, and I invite you to do the same. Check out this Call for Entries for I Am Solitary – London that is a counterpart to the original. Join me in applying for what promises to be a phenomenal show at the Gift gallery.

This collaboration with Gift Gallery seeks progressive contemporary art that responds to questions of identity and individuality.

The exhibition aims to highlight ideas and articulations relating to a conceptual and aesthetic understanding of individuality, isolation, and identity in a world typified by conflict, disillusionment, and change.

The work submitted should critically & aesthetically challenge the reception of these themes & truly push the direction of contemporary art.*

*For those of my readers that like to skim the posts, please note that I put this sentence in bold…green…AND centered it for you…hint, hint.

Submission Deadline:
Sunday, November 14, 2010

Eligibility & Media: Artists at all career stages, from all parts of the world, working in all mediums and practices are encouraged to submit.

DO HICKEYS

It will come as no surprise that I love kitchen gadgets. I actually own a machine called the CoCoMotion (pictured right) that serves the solitary purpose of making hot cocoa at the perfect temperature. Embarrassing, but true. The top of my cabinets serves as a storage house of ridiculous serving pieces I’ll never use, old cheese boxes, and some very cool art made out of toasters. And if it is an OLD kitchen gadget…like my egg scale, then I’m really in love.

I fell in love for this Call for Entries from The Columbus (GA) Museum called Past is Present: Contemporary Approaches to Historical Decorative Arts and Design.

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Martignano, Italy

Posted on September 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

GIMME S’MORE TIME

Recharging your batteries or becoming inspired…sometimes you just need some time away. I am planning a short weekend jaunt to a neighboring mountain town to sit around a campfire, roast s’mores and act like a tourist. I simply can’t wait…just a few days away from reality to get in touch with my inner dreamer again…the one that believes all things in life are possible.

If you need more than just a weekend away, check out this Italian Residency opportunity brought to you by the Martingnano International Residency for Artists. Treat yourself to submersion in the culture and experience of a community that nurtures art and artists.

ITALIAN ARTIST RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY!

Martignano International Residency for Artists – MIRA, supports international artists and promotes the cultural exchange between artistic disciplines and international experiences. At MIRA they have created a pristine environment exclusively for the interaction of the artists and their work needs.

Their institution offers 4 furnished rooms, 3 with private bathrooms, which serve as living spaces. They are all adapted with work desks for the artists to be able to create also in the comfort of their room.

The grounds are divided between 2 buildings, one having the main shared work studio, and the other permitting the artists to work freely throughout the house in order to create wherever they feel more at ease.

They assist the artists as much as possible in order for them to concentrate solely on their creating. Once a month they organize an open house in which they invite local artists and the surrounding community in order to further promote the cultural exchange between the artists and their adopted home.

Also, they are fortunate enough to be sponsored by the Comune of Martignano who have kindly donated the gallery installations at the Palazzo Palmieri, every two months, in order for their artists to have an exhibition.

Artists, critics, press and the community at large are invited to attend. If funds permit, a brochure is printed to document the exhibition.

Studios are available from one to six month periods. They have found that one month is barely enough to arrive and adapt, let alone create and exhibit.

For stays of longer than three months, the options for those non European Community Citizens are to either leave the Schengen Zone and return, or applying for an extension on the tourist visa. Please check ahead with your local embassy, and they will check on their side.

There is a monthly fee charge of between 700 and 900 Euro depending on the room chosen.

This money goes solely to the maintenance and continuous improvement of what they can offer to their attending artists. MIRA does neither cover living / material nor travelling expenses, although they will be there to greet you either at Brindisi International Airport or the train station at Lecce, and their driver will take to the airport again at the end of your residency.
