DIPLOMACY STINKS

It is a happy, shiny New Year, and I am excited about the possibilities.  Per usual, I am optimistic about the future… nauseatingly optimistic, according to my husband Jon.  However, most folks will also tell you that my attitude toward life is often like my taste in food…direct, unapologetic and undiplomatic.  Can food be unapologetic and undiplomatic?  Have you ever met a cheese named Limberger?  That sort of straight forwardness is what drew me to this next Call.

Check out the Call for Entries from the Light, Space & Time Gallery for their online Seascapes competition.  You know that I am not a huge fan of online competitions; however, I think of this as digital publication which is always a good thing.  The entry fee is dirt cheap, and the value of inbound links to your website is priceless.  Take a look…

FISH for THOUGHT

I love a good project.  Sometimes to get myself out a artistic funk, I need a small-scale, end-in-sight, easily-finishable project to get my juices flowing again.  The holiday food fest has put my food palate into a funk, and I’m hoping grilled lemon tilapia will solve that problem.  Maybe yesterday’s Shooz call and this next call will be the solution to the artistic funk.

Check out this Call for Entries for Magic and the Brain from the Los Angeles Brain Bee.  The Brain Bee is for high school students, but the art contest is for all ages.  There is no entry fee, and the grand prize is $500.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Magic and the Brain

Learn more about the Los Angeles Brain Bee!The Los Angeles Brain Bee invites artists from all areas of study to enter the Neuroscience Art contest. Artists are asked to submit their work on the theme: Neuroscience and Magic.  This theme is in honor of guest speakers Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde who recently published the book Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals about our Everyday Deceptions.

Artists are encouraged to express their creativity to represent the relationship between the brain and magic.  Artists are encouraged to collaborate with individuals knowledgeable in neuroscience for factual detail and analysis, however their own interpretation of Magic and the Brain is acceptable without scientific validity. The objective is to highlight how deceptions of magic can parallel deception in our daily lives.

ELIGIBILITY:  All ages are able to enter.  Artists of all nationalities may enter.  Group entries are allowed but a single member should be nominated as the leader and their name will be used as the name of the Group.  Works presented need not be newly created.  The work may be a project consisting of multiple images or elements.

Learn more about Sleights of the Mind online!MEDIA:  Entries will be accepted in three categories:  two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and digital.  Entries will be evaluated on creativity and artistic qualities.

Learn more about the Los Angeles Brain Bee Art Contest!AWARDS:  Selected works will be chosen for the Los Angeles Brain Bee exhibits at Los Angeles City College, it may also be used at a Local Los Angeles Gallery ZZyzx Gallery of Natural Science and for other Educational Brain Events across the Los Angeles Area.  Cash prizes and certificates:  Top cash award $500, Smaller cash awards, Honorable Mention, Certificates of Achievement.

CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!BOWLING FOR SCROLLS

I’m told the Super Bowl is in January.  I say, “I’m told” because a football would have to hit me square between the eyes to make me aware of when the season begins or ends for any sport.  Yep, I’m just not that girl.  Interestingly enough, the idea of the Super Bowl does conjure image of very specific foods for me despite the fact that I’ve never been to a Super Bowl party.  Hmmmm… Chicken Wings anyone?

This next Call for Entries is for the Scroll Bowl V sponsored by Magazine 22.  The only similarity between this Call for the Scroll Bowl V and the Super Bowl?  They are both in January and both have Bowl in the name, but I had to start somewhere, eh? *Editor’s note:  4 hours after this post went live, the venue and date changed.  See edits below noted in green italics…

CALL for ENTRIES:  Scroll Bowl V

Submit to Scroll Bowl V today!

SCROLL BOWL V will be the featured event at The 22 Magazine Launch Party, on April 2nd, 2011.  Harnessing the ancient power of scroll storytelling, some of world’s finest creators gather to show off their work on large and small rolls of parchment.  Scroll art is one of the oldest forms of storytelling, and the folks at The 22 Magazine want to make the experience of viewing a scroll more accessible to everyday life.

Check out the Scrollie Viewer on YouTube!MEDIA:  There are many different ways to approach art on scrolls, and they ask artists to push those limits-linear storytelling to abstract ideas.

Larger format works are shown on their huge SCROLLIE VIEWER, but they also appreciate smaller format or long scrolls that hang on the wall.  Solo, group collaborations, video or performance pieces are acceptable.  How each artist attacks the “page” is what makes these events fun.

WHERE:  The Scroll Bowl V will take place at Frost Street Art Space in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), an exciting new gallery and screening venue that provides live online streaming of events!  Click here for videos of the space. 

From the organizers:  “What this [change of venue] means for the artists is 1) A week long show instead of one night  2) documentation of the actual event via 4-7 installed cameras  3) live streaming of the event online and  4) more space and much nicer venue. ”

Submit to Scroll Bowl V today!HOW TO SUBMIT:  All submissions (in the form of images or links) can be sent to the22magazine@gmail.com. Please put “SCROLL BOWL SUBMISSION” in the subject line.

DEADLINE:  December 30, 2010 or until the show is full.  New deadline March 16, 2011.

ELIGIBILITY:  Artists in any location are welcome to submit.  Although they cannot fund anyone’s travel expenses,  the folks at The 22 Magazine will be happy to present your scroll for you if you cannot make it to the event.

ART PUBLICATION: Art Forum Ad Project

COOKIE MONEY

Money is necessary to buy food… or the seeds to grow food… or to rent the land to grow the plants you pinched from someone else.  The point is that money is necessary at some point in the equation As a result, I am known for being particularly sensitive to entry fees and costs associated with putting your art out there.  But I ran across one opportunity, I just HAD to share with you.

Remember my little $2 Art Contest?  I have been outdone by the $1.50 Art Forum Ad Project.  Yep.  $1.50.  You can’t buy a decent cookie for $1.50, but you can advertise your art…albeit tiny.  Check it out…

ART ADVERTISING:
The Art Forum Ad Project

This project, a conceptual artwork by artist Jeff Thompson, allows for 4,200 artists to have their work seen in Artforum magazine.

Check out Artforum Magazine online!Each participant, paying $1.50 USD and sending their image electronically, will then have their piece, along with all the other participating artists, in an advertisement. Of course, due to the number of artists needed to raise the money for this venture, the images themselves will be quite small… about 3/16″ x 3/16″. (think pencil eraser size, but square.)

FEES: You make a payment of $1.50 using PayPal and send an image of your work. The image is shrunk to the 3/16″. When $4,200 is raised, the ad is sent to Artforum to be published.

The final advertisement and all participating artists will be listed on a revised version of www.artforumadproject.com after publication.

SUBMISSIONS:   You can submit payment via PayPal to artforum@jeffreythompson.org, then send your image via email. Please send images sized no larger than 5″ x 7″, 300 dpi. Be sure to include your PayPal confirmation number with your image.

Have Questions?  Email Jeff Thompson!

*Editor’s Note:  This IS NOT endorsed by Artforum Magazine.  And no, I cannot guarantee this is not a scam.  Lots of these projects exist.  But, I would also like to remind you that you have wasted $1.50 before…I guarantee it.  So, if you’re feeling adventurous and don’t have the time or money for skydiving…take a chance.
