CALL for ENTRIES: A Show of Heads

Posted on July 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
weirdness

As I become more food wise, I also become more food wary. Even proven combinations like chocolate & peanut butter or mozzarella & balsamic become tiresome. And as I get bored, I start branching out and trying foods together just out of curiosity. Watermelon with olive oil & basil is delightful, by the way. That combination is as good as the combination award for this next call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for A Show of Heads at the Limner Gallery (NY). The awards for this show include BOTH a gallery show & art publication. Great combo…

CALL for ENTRIES: Feast your Eyes

Posted on July 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FEED ME
please

Why NOT food? Yes, it is that time of year again. I’ve received more hate mail from artists that think this blog would be far more effective if I would just quit talking about food. The last time this happened, I actually added “a food-themed art blog” to the header. To be honest, the half-dozen hate mail emails I get a year don’t really bother me. But, I am always amazed at how much anger people can muster for the most insignificant issues. This next call is equally obsessed with food. I am in good company…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Feast your Eyes

Food can be more than sustenance; food can be a passion, an entertaining and delicious escape, a comfort, or an obsession. Food is vital to our lives and is certainly at the heart of every celebration. Food is the subject of endless books, news reports, scientific studies, social media posts, and conversations. We are deeply interested in its sustainability, production, processing, distribution, scarcity, quantity, quality, composition, and price. This show invites artists to explore these and other food-related issues, from the profound to the ridiculous. –from prospectus

CALL for ENTRIES: Electric Walls

Posted on July 5, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

SAUCY
mothers

Knife skills are important if you are interested in becoming a commercial cook or chef. However, I think the ground floor of cooking well, of understanding HOW to cook well, lies in sauce skills. Once you understand how to make the 5 French mother sauces, you’ll understand the art of balance and the science of how food works.

Check out this Call for Entries from On the Ground Floor (Los Angeles, CA) for Electric Walls. This is a moving image call…not just video. Stretch your skills & try your hand at a new media type. Get out of the rut…

CALL for ENTRIES: Science & Art

Posted on July 2, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

JAM
not jelly

Chia seeds are fascinating. I have started using them to make raw, small-batch refrigerator jam from overripe fruit. Yum. The seeds are hydrophilic, absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked. While soaking, the seeds develop a mucilaginous gel-like coating that gives my jam a fantastic texture. I feel a little like a mad scientist every time I use them, ha. Here’s a science (& art) call for the Chicago area. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Science & Art

Science and Art are two aspects of human cultural activity and experience. We find aesthetic inspiration from structures found in nature, and works of art can provide novel insights to scientists. Only our age of extreme division of labor brought about a separation between science and art.

CALL for ENTRIES: Not a Full Deck

Posted on June 23, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LEMONS
& vinegar

Good food is all about balance, and it seems that a lot of commercial cooks and chefs are not cooking with a “full deck.” The most common mistake? A lack of acid. A little lemon will transform your cheesecake from cloyingly sweet to perfectly delectable. A little red wine vinegar will make your tuna salad memorable. This next Call is looking for your take on working with less than a “full deck.” Great theme…

RARE
please

I like my eggs over easy and my steak & tuna rare, maybe medium rare–depending on where I am. In restaurants, I’m rarely able to order anything rare; however, at home where I have a clearer picture of the origin and handling, everything is rare. The opportunity offered by this next Call is equally rare. Please pay attention to this one…

Check out this Open Call from the Peoria Art Guild (Peoria, IL) for 2015 Exhibitions. And a rare opportunity to get telephone feedback about your entry. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Everyday Objects

Posted on June 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FLIP IT
over

The offset spatula is my favorite cooking gadget. I get asked all the time, and I suspect my answer is never what they expect. A fancy food processor or expensive hand-forged knife would probably be more standard answer, but I love the offset spatula. Personally, I prefer the 9″ offset spatula by Wilton (meant for cake icing). I use mine to both to apply gel medium to canvas when making artwork and to flip grilled eggplant for my eggplant lasagna –with a thorough wash in between. Sometimes it is the everyday object that means the most. This next Call wants your perspective of the everyday object. Everyone can work with this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from Unframed (online) for Everyday Objects. $15 entry! And please don’t forget to research your curator. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Unframed

The exhibition confronts the viewer with a fascinating array of everyday, ordinary things, and in the process gets us to take a close look at the objects and our encounters with them in our daily lives. They are overlooked, ignored or simply taken for granted. This exhibit takes a close look at the all too frequently unnoticed objects that many artists are turning to for inspiration.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

CALL for ENTRIES: From Our Perspectives

Posted on June 18, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HOT STUFF
please

My perspective on what makes for the perfect food shifts every few years. Occasionally I get stuck in a phase for a while. I worshiped all things spicy for 5+ years, and now I’ve been stuck on the piquant tang of goat cheese for 10+ years. Taste buds only live about 10 days, so that gives lots of opportunity for a change of taste. This next Call wants a female perspective, but not necessarily on food (although it isn’t excepted). I encourage you to take on some academic shows. How about this one, ladies?

EGGS

for me

I am early for almost nothing. As I have gotten older, I am far better at being on time, but I still JUST make it most of the time. As you might imagine, this doesn’t make for great breakfast. Luckily, my spouse is the king of egg breakfast. We go through DOZENS of eggs each week. So the early bird…gets to cook in my house. This next Call offers benefits for being early. So, don’t procrastinate…

PEANUT BUTTER

My culinary super power is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make a beautiful breakfast muffin from peanut butter and flax seeds. And yes, I can make cookies out of peanut butter, honey and a single egg. Okay, maybe I can just make anything out of peanut butter–the perfect ingredient. But, not everything comes with the perfect ingredients. While most folks won’t think the kit from this Call is perfect to create a masterpiece, you’ll have all the ingredients; just make it work. Take a look…
