CALL for ENTRIES: Fears & Phobias

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

There was a time when I was scared of asparagus.  No, really.  My only childhood exposure to asparagus was with the canned variety–grayish green, slimy, salty, icky.  I managed to go a span of TWO DECADES without eating it again.  I had developed such a taste aversion that irrationally, somewhere in the back of my brain, I thought consuming it would have dire consequences.  Luckily, someone served me cream of asparagus soup under the guise of cream of broccoli soup, and now I am addicted.  Blanched and marinated in balsamic vinigrette then served cold…I could eat it every day.  This next call seeks to explore YOUR fears.  Anybody want to talk about bloody beets?

Check out this Call for Entries for the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center (Alexandria, VA) for Fears & Phobias. It is no secret that I love this gallery for their curatorial vision, but I think it is with good reason. Investigate for yourself…

What food helps you get to sleep quickly? Well, honestly, almost any food helps me sleep because I am usually so exhausted that I can fall sleep after eating virtually anything.  The idea of warm milk is pretty nauseating, and I’ve never developed a taste for hot tea, either.   I have friends that swear by melatonin supplements, and a few that are addicted to over-the-counter PM drugs.  Those drugs give me a hangover, and melatonin just doesn’t do anything for me.  Luckily my days of insomnia seem to be over.  So I have a request of you… don’t doze off while reading this next Call (a repost) because the deadline is almost here for the New York show.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the B.J. Spoke Gallery (Huntington, NY) for Expo 31, their Annual National Juried exhibit. The entry fee is only $35 for up to SIX entries, but the deadline is less than three weeks away. So, don’t procrastinate and miss this opportunity…

I am a fan of bold flavors, but I’ve never developed a taste for caraway seeds also known as rye.  The one exception to my caraway seed rule is pumpernickel rye bread.  Maybe it is the earthy texture of the pumpernickel and the more practical everyday uses for bread that make it my exception.  This next Call is my second exception for acceptable rye.  This is a great holiday opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Small Works Holiday exhibit known as the Precious Show at the Soo Rye Art Gallery in Rye, New Hampshire.  This is clearly a sales-motivated exhibit, and we can all use a little holiday art sales.  Take a look…

I’ve never been much of a milk drinker.  So it is easy to forget how much dairy I consume. I recently had to start taking Cipro, a really strong antibiotic, to try to knock out a irritatingly persistent ear infection, and it can’t be taken with dairy products.  I’m on day 5 of a 10 regiment, and I had no idea it would make my life so complicated.  Speaking of dairy, did you know that Monterey Jack cheese was made by the Mexican Franciscan friars of Monterey, California, during the 19th century?  If you go to the opening of your solo show that you got by sending a proposal to this Call, let me know if they still make it there.  Better yet, pick some up for me…

I prefer to drink my soup.  Chowder and stew?  Give me a spoon and a bowl, but soup calls for the perfect cup.  The handle has to be big enough for me to slide my four fingers through, warming my palm against the cup.  Should be sturdy enough to keep the soup warm while I sip, but not too heavy to hold for the duration.  This next Call might give me a way to drink my soup out of a beautiful piece of art.  Trip to Louisiana anyone?

So, I wonder what food the audience for a golf tournament would eat?  It would need to be finger food you could carry from one hole to the next.  And, in theory, it would need to be quiet out of respect for the golfers need to concentrate.  Hmmm…if one of you is a golfer or golf fan, let me know.  So what does that have to do with this Call?
