CALL for ENTRIES: Off the Cuff

Posted on August 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

MUSTARD
du jour?

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. This next call asks you to submit your best spontaneous, unrehearsed photography for exhibition. I love this idea…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Off the Cuff

Off the Cuff: The Spontaneous and Unrehearsed will demonstrate the complex and varied roles photography employs as a witness and an accomplice in seeing the world. Relating to both the genres of street photography and performance art, these images may collectively portray chance encounters, improvisations, decisive moments in the height of action, and documents of occurrences. Without premeditation, the photographer captures what arises – acting as the mediator between the photograph and events as they unfold.

All artists

Photography

DEADLINE: November 5th, 2011

CALL for ENTRIES: Art & Psyche

Posted on August 10, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

LAY ME DOWN…
on chocolate

It has been suggested that I seek professional help for my food obsession. However, like any well-seasoned food addict, I prefer to think of myself as food-educated or food-curious, not just food-obsessed. I’m certain a psychoanalyst could figuratively feast on my many stufffed, food-related issues. Where’s the couch? (Speaking of couches, check out the cake couch entitled “You Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It Too”, the chocolate couch was created by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich for an art-exhibit appropriately named “Let Them Eat Art”.) Maybe this next call would give me some insight. Never miss an opportunity to self-analyze, ha…

CALL for ENTRIES: SNAP Mail Art in Canada

Posted on August 7, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SUGARY
GREEN-NESS

Remember when green beens were everyone’s “go to” vegetable? They were in every frozen meal and stocked in everyone’s pantry for a quick addition to any meal. I suspect that’s how they got their bad reputation with kids. I have noticed lately that sugar snap peas seem to be the new green beans. Luckily, I love them, and kids seem to like the fact that they are a little sweeter than tried-and-true green beans. Deciding to enter this next exhibition should be (you guessed it)… a snap. Take a look…

CARRYING A TORCH

As I have mentioned on so many occasions, I love kitchen gadgets. I love everything from 1940s egg scales to the idea of a torch for carmelizing creme brulee.

OPEN CALL: Grand Opera House Galleries

Posted on August 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

MAKING me SING!

I seem to have Italian and Greek food on the brain these days. I usually write the food reference paragraph of these posts to see what the Call conjures in my mind and stomach. And, for some reason, it is Italian and Greek these days. Maybe it is the Suzukakia (Greek Meatballs) I had at Athens Restaurant in Nashville this past weekend. So, I got to meatballs because I ran across this Open Call for an opera house. Doesn’t opera make you instantly think meatballs? Maybe it is just me…

CALL for ENTRIES: 3rd Annual Figurative

Posted on August 1, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CHEW and CHOW

I grew up with a jar of chow-chow frequently on the table as THE condiment of choice. For those of you not familiar with this pickled treat, Chow-chow is a pickled relish made from a combination of vegetables. Mainly green tomato, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, carrots and peas are used. These are pickled in a jar & served cold. I’ve always thought this gem had Southern roots, but I’ve recently learned that a sweeter version has it’s roots in Pennsylvania. If you go to the reception for this Call, pick up a jar for me…

MISSING
MEATBALLS

I been eating a lot of junk food for the past few days. I’m on the road in Nashville for a couple of days (which is why I’ve missed a couple of posts, sorry), and you would think that I would seize the opportunity to try out the local fare. But no… road trips make me crave junk food. However, when I get home tomorrow, I will welcome back old standards like spaghetti night. This Call for Entries is for a photography magazine that many would consider an “old standard,” not that it is in its 25th year of publication… tried and true.

CALL for ENTRIES: Persona

Posted on July 27, 2011July 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

STUFF my
PEPPER!

Am I the only one that wonders what their food portrait would be? I thought so. I think if a portraitist had to capture my image as a food, I would be a mozzarella and proscuitto stuffed pepper… well-marinated, all little salty, a little spicy, and worth every penny, ha. This next Call encourages you to share your best wacky portraits… So use your imagination and take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called Persona. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
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.”
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.

CALL for ENTRIES: Edges & Curves

Posted on July 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FRIED THIGHS

When I think of the foods of my youth, I think of… Banquet Fried Chicken. I know, I know. I was reared by my father, alone, between the ages of 3 and 13, and we ate anything and everything pre-packaged or ready-made that we could because I did all the cooking from age 5 up. Do not send me letters about child labor or processed food, please; it was not a choice… it just was. Oddly enough, I suspect my child will remember granola bars and french bread pizza as the foods of his youth. Wonder if I’ve really made much of an improvement, ha. This next Call has me wondering what the food of my 40’s will be. Any suggestions?

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society for Edges & Curves at The Glass Studio in Highland Park, CA. The entry fee is only $12 for 6 images; however, there are age restrictions. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Edges & Curves

Edges & Curves, Nothing In Between attempts to bust the myth that the older creative has lost her or his edge.

In a youth oriented society, the conventional wisdom is that the younger artist is the risk taker and rule breaker. And while those who would follow conventional wisdom believe we soften as we get older, there are those who actually hone their edges to craft a message with more bite and risk because of their station in life.

ELIGIBILITY: This event is open to any artist 40 years and older.

MEDIA: 2D (no larger than 32″ x 44″) or small 3D (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

DEADLINE: Midnight September 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION: Artist email notification September 10, 2011

ENTRY FEE:
$12 submission fee for 6 images

SALES:
The Haggus Society retains 40% of all sales.

ABOUT THE SPONSOR: The Haggus Society is a group catering to creative feminists over the age of 40 who share a vision of empowering Woman’s position in the arts and society via the support of cultural acts and practices as well as direct action. The Haggus Society is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the purposes of The Haggus Society must be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
