A BAKER’S DOZEN

I appreciate simple food.  Somedays there is nothing more comforting than a roasted chicken; however, I am baffled by the new wave of “5 ingredient” cookbooks.  I appreciate that sometimes you only HAVE five ingredients.  But a whole cookbook of 5 ingredient dishes?  I use olive oil, garlic, parsley and cracked black pepper in almost everything…that only leaves me one additional ingredient.  How about giving me 12 ingredients?  Take a 12 layer dip to the opening of the exhibit in this next Call.  Just a subtle pun…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 2011 International Photo Exhibition from the 12 12 Gallery (Richmond, VA).  Make the early deadline and enter for only $25!  Alternative processes welcome…

Seafood?

I long to live off the grid, both for the consumption of energy resources AND for culinary purposes.  I am not the greenest or environmentally conscious person that ever lived.  My family and I do what we can.  But, we long to live off the grid via solar power, cistern water collection and home-grown food.  We want a life free of debt for electricity, water and groceries.  I haven’t figured out how to tackle the seafood and cell phone issue, but I stand in awe of at least the idea of depending solely on nature for survival. This next call invites you to celebrate the wonder of nature.  Great opportunity for a California show!

NUTS for
LOBSTER

When I think of Georgia, I start craving lobster bisque.  Yes, I know that Georgia is the Peach State, but as I have mentioned before… I have peach issues.  Georgia conjures images of trips to Savannah with my mother for glorious lunches at the River House of Caesar salad made fresh at our table, rich and creamy lobster bisque, and a huge slice of pecan pies.  You can’t touch that with peaches.  So this next Call is over 250 miles from Savannah, but it is still Georgia.  If you can’t find the bisque while at the opening, pecan pie can’t be far away…

CANNED FOOD

There are very few truly black foods.  Black truffles, black and white cookies, squid ink pasta… none of those are truly black in color.  When I think of black foods, one shining, delicious example comes through immediately. Wild sturgeon roe from the Caspian Sea… Caviar.  Yes, fish eggs.  If you can’t get over what it is long enough to try it, you are missing out one of the culinary wonders of the world.  It doesn’t have to cost thousands.  Like wine out of a box, there is an audience for every grade of caviar.  This next Call takes the black caviar out of the tin and into the box, the Black Box.  Keep reading…

Narrative

One Picture is worth a thousand words is a common belief that information can be conveyed more accurately and efficiently by images than words.  And the power of narrative, or story telling is at the foundation of much of photography.  Photograhers are creating complex and descriptive moments in time.  Contemporary photographers are crafting and documenting new forms of a visual short story.

ELIGIBILITY:  The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, both amateur and professional.

MEDIA:  Photography.  Black Box will provide all framing, matting and printing for our exhibitions. The photographers who are selected into the exhibition by the juror will provide a high resolution Tiff file for our gallery to print for the exhibition.  Black Box covers all printing and framing costs.

Andres coordination of rich, stylized color palettes, elaborate sets, vintage wardrobes and dramatic lighting recall Hitchcock thrillers, fashion photography and tableau photographers like Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall, Annie Liebowitz, Larry Sultan and Cindy Sherman.  Her work explores elliptical narratives, visually descriptive storytelling and constructed fantasy.

Am I still the only one that wonders what their food portrait would be? I don’t think so anymore. After my last posting of that questions, I got lots of replies with your food portrait match.  My favorite came from a youth hostel in Europe…sardines.  Quarters must be tight.  Sardines are glorious in Caesar salad, make delightful sushi and melt in your mouth on pizza.  This is a Reminder Call that encourages you to share your best wacky portraits.  Will yours involve sardines?

Persona

 

“We’re looking for something beyond the traditional portrait – more than just a eloquently captured face. We’re looking for uncanny, parody, distortions, subtle suggestions and in-your-face implications. For “Persona” we’re looking for portraits devised outside the box (or in one, might also be applicable in certain circumstances!) – we want to see the characters you’ve captured.

“There can more to a superb portrait than a superb likeness of an individual a the testimony to their soul can be visioned way beyond the eyes. How much can you tell us about a person with just one image? Their life story? Perhaps. How did you show the idiosyncrasies, quirks, that make your sitters both physically and emotionally, individuals? We can’t wait to fill our gallery walls with a newly visioned kind of face – portrait as character and caricature.”
Learn more about the Persona show at the Darkroom Gallery!JUROR: The portraits of Chris Buck have been surprising us, making us laugh, causing us to ask questions, and inspiring us to think outside of the box for years. His brand of image making (over two decades worth) infuses wit with uncommon gesture and implied meaning. He tells more than a story – he creates tales (sometimes through pure expression). Chris was the first recipient for the Arnold Newman Portrait Prize (2007), which we think he so rightfully deserved! His clients include IBM, Microsoft, Moviefone, Citibank, GQ, Blender and The New York Times Magazine. From uncanny celebrity portraits, to advertising humor, to editorial wisdom, Chris Buck has offered us a very special take on our world of Personas.

Sometimes it takes just a pinch of an ingredient to make a dish complete.  Have you ever tasted something delectable and said, “What IS that flavor?”  I have theories of my own including nutmeg in diet Coke.  But not all special ingredients are a secret.  Pesto requires basil, but I prefer walnuts to pine nuts, and an art career requires publication…and a website.  If you have a website, this could be the nutmeg in your diet Coke.  If you don’t have a website, here’s another reason to invest…

Does your family eat green or eco-friendly? My family has made progress toward going the eco-friendly green route in baby steps over the past few years both in our culinary exploits and energy consumption.

Spontaneous food creation is my favorite kitchen activity.  There is nothing more exciting than finding a use for dijon mustard when it is the last seasoning you have left because you haven’t had time to make it to the grocery store this week.  By the way, dijon mustard makes an excellent oil-free way to thicken homemade salad dressings.

TEMPTED?

We’ve all been told not to play with our food.  And, none of us really understood why parents made this blanket statement.  As an adult, I still don’t understand why.  If my kid wants to play with his food then have to eat it while it is cold… well, those are his lumps in his potatoes, not mine.  Apparently, I’m not alone in valuing the play-value of food.  Take a look at a great book called Food Play by Joost Elffers and Saxton Freymann (not paid sponsors, I assure you).  This next Call certainly encourages you to play, but not necessarily with your food.  Investigate for yourself…

Learn more about the Toys show at the Annmarie Sculpture Garden!This exhibit seeks works of art that use toys and children’s playthings as the inspiration, subject matter, and/or medium with the goal of creating playful, amusing, nostalgic, or poignant commentaries on the role of toys in our lives. Many of us hold fond memories of special toys that yielded hours of entertainment and can vividly remember when a treasured toy was lost, broken, stolen, or otherwise retired.

For these reasons and more, toys can be a powerful art medium, conjuring up both treasured and difficult memories of childhood, past friendships, and other recollections. From the utterly outrageous to the sappy and sentimental, this exhibit will include all media, small to large scale. The exhibit will be installed in the Main Gallery of the Arts Building, but a small number of outdoor works will be considered for the Sculpture Garden.  The jury seeks works that are engaging, and fun, and above all, playful!

ELIGIBILITY:  The exhibition is open to artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.
