TIME FLIES,
when you’re hungry

A lack of time is the excuse for a lot of quickie meals in my house–from Manwich® to frozen “cardboard” pizza.  But a lack of time is also my excuse for splurging at the antipasti bar in my local grocery store.  It is a double standard, but who uses TOO MUCH time as an excuse for anything?  This next Call doesn’t have a lot of time left, but they’ll take all the time you have.  You’ll see what I mean…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Orange County (CA) Center for Contemporary Art (OCCCA) for Random Acts of Time.  The deadline is fast approaching, but I’ll bet you already have work that suits this theme.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Random Acts of Time

“This exhibition investigates our relationship to the concept of time, the choices we make and the random, uncontrollable events that shape our lives. From the moment we begin our journey into the cacophony of the world – a series of decisions, choices and twists of fate guide us – often lurching or blissful and occasionally tragic. What have we chosen for ourselves? When has our hand been forced? Have random or serendipitous events changed our course? Have we triumphed? What have we lost? What have we remembered and forgotten?

“Time is a recurring thematic in artists’ works – witness the public response and fascination with Christian Marclay’s 24-hour montage The Clock. Exploring that inexorable passage via divergent points-of-view, media and imagery demands introspection and perspective. This exhibition will investigate what binds or propels us, notions of conscious or unconscious experiences and the narratives we collect as we negotiate our lives.” –William Moreno, Juror
