CALL for ENTRIES: Spare Parts

Posted on October 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

A CROCK FOR EVERY POT

I am the queen of the crock pot. I have Lemon Chicken in the crock pot as I write this post. I love Fall and Winter because they provide the perfect excuse to through lots of things in the crock pot and call is soup or chowder or stew. And in my kitchen next to the crock pot (when it is stored on top of my cabinets) is two of my favorite pieces of found-object assemblage–toasters covered in journal pages and a virtual crock pot of other brick-a-brack.

HOT TODDY!

My non-art related work place is The Lodge at Buckberry Creek, a resort in the Great Smoky Mountains patterned after the Great Camps of the Adirondacks in upstate New York.

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Roswell, New Mexico

Posted on October 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

LIKE EGGS…
IN THE HOURGLASS

The thought of a little more time with family at breakfast or dinner is a dream in my household. For now we are grouchy, non-speaking, egg-gulping, panic-stricken and running late during weekday mornings, but weekends are full of blue-berry pancakes and eggs benedict.

Are you looking for the gift of time? Check out the 12-month residency opportunity in Roswell, New Mexico that offers space, time, and even a stipend! Don’t miss it…

ARTIST RESIDENCY
OPPORTUNITY:
Roswell, New Mexico

Well known by artists as the “Gift of Time”, the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 1967 to provide gifted studio based visual artists with the unique opportunity to concentrate on their work in a supportive, collegial environment for a whole year. This “gift of time” allows artists to work without distraction in an effort to break new ground and focus on individual goals.

The Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program serves as a contemporary counterpoint to the traditional arts of the Southwest, reinforces the Program’s interest in strengthening the vitality of art in New Mexico and has been a catalyst in broadening community understanding of contemporary art.

CURRENT DEADLINE: December 1, 2010

MEDIA: In-residence grants are offered to artists involved in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation and other fine art media. Grants are not made in the disciplines of performance art or production crafts.

HOUSING & STUDIO FACILITIES: The studios are large, open spaces that measure approximately 20’x25’x10′. These areas are well-lighted and convertible to the artist’s requirements within reason. The printmaking facility is a small, fully operational studio – basically lithographic/etching in nature.

Artists are housed in a complex of six houses and 10 studios located on forty acres of land. Each artist is provided with a house that can amply accommodate either a single person or a family. Rent, utilities (except telephone), repairs and maintenance costs are borne by the Program. Houses are furnished with major furniture items, appliances and utensils. (continued below)

STIPEND: A stipend, or living allowance, of $800 per month is offered along with $100 per month for every dependent living with the grantee. Currently, the cost of art materials is borne by the grantee.

For more information about the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program, contact: Stephen Fleming, RAIR Program Director by phone: (575)622 6037 or e-mail them at: stephen@rair.org .

FEATURED ARTIST: T.S. McFadden

Posted on October 16, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CRUNCHY GOODNESS!

The $2 Art Contest is getting to be like pulling teeth. And, I can’t afford to loose my teeth. While I love silky bisques and hollandaise, a blogger cannot live by hollandaise alone. What good is the hollandaise when you’re dreaming of corn nuts and have pulled all your teeth? I think this month’s entries for the $2 Art Contest were extraordinarily tasty.

The entries I receive each month for the $2 Art Contest are incredibly varied. I see work from every imaginable media, from artists at every level of their careers–some polished and PR savvy, some more vulnerable, but honest. Because it isn’t a level playing field, it isn’t really just about choosing the best art. I love having the honor of reviewing all the work, but I am made anxious by the necessity of choosing.

The Featured Artist chosen from September entries is T.S. McFadden. McFadden’s work hits so many of the right notes for me–multiple media, over-the-top devotion to the creative process, and a love for found objects and recycled materials.

FEATURED ARTIST:
T.S. McFadden

T.S. McFadden is an intuitive artist whose prolific body of work explores process, internal dialoques and facilitation. He was born in a small town in Ohio and raised in the country. He is now based in New York.

McFadden has sculpted and painted since he was a child and is self-taught but for a handful of private lessons. He studied in the fine arts, graduated from Kent State University and has spent time in Europe studying other artists.

While I am in love with the Elephant Graveyard series on which McFadden is currently working, I chose to focus this feature on McFadden’s Mother Series of paintings. As I have shouted from the mountain tops many times, my artistic skill does not lie in painting media. But, I find my inadequacy in this area makes me appreciate the talent in others even more.

The Mother Series is what the artist calls an abstract expression of logic. That will serve as a huge contradiction for some. The next contradiction will come from the idea that these paintings are a sort of recycled assemblage.

“This series was created using remnants from my palattes, which were scraped and pulled and meant for the garbage. Too haunting and too beautiful to be discarded, they were stacked and saved for years. The kinetic energy found in the palatte is art in its purest form–it is the unintentional genesis of intention.”

There’s that logic for you.

I always send a quiz to my Featured Artist picks to gain a little insight and help me feel inspired to write. Some of the questions are food related, some are art related, some try to unveil the inspiration behind it all. What have a learned from the quizzes as a whole?

Artists don’t often like
to give direct answers, ha.

McFadden’s answers did not disappoint. When asked about his favorite foods, he reinforced the notion of contradictions. How do you claim corn nuts and sashimi among your favorites? I suspect those choices just reinforce how the pull of opposites can produce a cohesive balance.

What do you think?

When asked about his favorite media, McFadden decided upon Experimentation. Perfect.

And what school of art does feel
his work fits? Intuition.
Even more perfect.

Energy, emotion and circumstance direct him. He uses layers of color to examine, define and mask an inner world. Organic and graphic elements invade the space, push the calm and subdue the conflict.

McFadden considers his creativity intrinsic and his pronouncement of it solely environmental.

He is a painter and a sculptor, a published author, a writer of poetry and music, a furniture designer and whatever else the moment he is living in requires him to be.

Thank you, T.S. McFadden, for the Mother Series…and for reminding us of the old school definition of “artistic.” I, for one, can’t wait to see the Elephant Graveyard series!

CALL for ENTRIES: 2011 Annual Juried Show

Posted on October 4, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CAKE FOR EVERYONE

Aside from food, there are a few themes that run through my blog posts. Entering academic shows can be a huge plus for all artists…but I find that emerging artists, regardless of age, really benefit most. If you get juried in to an academic exhibition, make every effort to attend the opening. You’d be amazed by how much you can learn by being a fly on the wall when no one knows you’re there.

INTERNATIONAL Art Competition: JAPAN

Posted on September 7, 2010May 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SUSHI SUSHI SUSHI

I often post international artist residency opportunities and get lots of email in return that basically says, “I wish.” And, believe me, I understand the frustration of needing the inspiration and time and space of a residency, but not being able to afford the luxury of a month in Spain or Chile. Well, what if I told you that you could get the full foreign tour AFTER you do the work? Stop and smell the sushi, folks.

Check out this International Art Competition and Exhibition from Sakuraba Gallery in Japan.

FEATURED ARTIST: Peg Grady

Posted on August 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

INDULGENT WHIMSY

I find the sacred in everyday objects and appreciate the indulgence of artists that do. My house is filled with odd tidbits that have called out to me from here and there–things with which I cannot part for reasons unknown.

Peg Grady is a kindred spirit.

July marks the first month of the $2 Art Contest. The purpose of the contest was not to get rich, but to force myself to regularly review the work submitted to me by artists. Now you will get monthly Featured Artists, not quarterly or whenever the mood strikes me.

When choosing to force myself to be more diligent about posting Featured Artists, I neglected to account for how hard it would be for me to chose only one. I contemplated giving 2nd and 3rd place, but felt it somehow took away from the true winner–Peg Grady.

PEG GRADY

When I started investigating Peg Grady’s work, I was immediately drawn to her paintings and drawings that often take on the appearance of oil pastels and often incorporate a whimsy of color and typography. But once I found The Perfect Word Series, I was hooked. The work was, well, reverential…from a distance.

I noticed a statement on Grady’s site apart from her Artist Statement specifically for The Perfect Word: “An old thesaurus’s yellowed pages containing outdated phrases such as ‘apple pie order,’ ‘pretty kettle of fish’ and ‘tittle-tattle’ evoke a sense of history that delights me, sending me back to my elementary school classroom where the teacher told us of the value of Roget’s (not the dictionary style) thesaurus and how it branched off with differing shades of meaning, leading you to the perfect word.”

This led me back to the work, where I used the built-in magnifier to examine the details that tied it all together.

The simply whimsy in sacred found objects is all tied together in the simplicity of The Perfect Word.

Some of you may recall that I send out a questionnaire to all of my potential Featured Artists that asks a variety of questions from favorite foods to artistic influences, and I couldn’t wait to read Peg Grady’s answers to see if I really could have developed a picture of who she was based on this short series of work.

Artistic influences? Betye Saar, famous for her assemblage work, seems fitting. Robert Rauchenberg reinforced assemblage as Grady’s true love. Romare Bearden rounds it out.

Foods? Dark Chocolate and Almonds–indulgent. I would expect no less.

When asked if she liked to collaborate with others, she matter-of-factly explained that she doesn’t “play well with others. But I do run with scissors.” A woman after my own heart.

I have fallen in love with The Perfect Word series, and my heart is singing to hear that The Perfect Game series featuring a vintage book of solitaire layouts is in the works.

How did Peg Grady develop into the artist she is? Maybe it all ties back to her childhood…

“I was born in New York City where I appreciated the dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural History much more than the Monets at the Modern. Finally I got older and (hopefully) wiser, became a California girl and fell in love with art.”

Thank you, Peg Grady for the reverence with which you treat the written word and for creating work that makes us think. Thank you for artwork that both celebrates and believes in the ability of the child in all of us to remember the whimsy of our childhood with the sacredness it deserves.

www.PegGradyArt.com

Just a side note, Peg Grady embodies many of the tips that I preach in “The Art of Cooking (aka How to Get an Art Show)” Investigate and learn.

CALL for ENTRIES: Found Object TRASH ART

Posted on August 2, 2010August 2, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

NOT TRASH…JUST ART

I love found object art almost as much as I love crock pot creations made from leftovers. Many emerging (not starving) artists struggle with not having the cash to participate in traditional media like oil painting. Found-object assemblage could be the solution!

Here’s a great call from Monmouth Museum for Art from Found Objects, but you have to hurry…both postmarked and emailed entries must be received by August 6, 2010. But look on the bright side…the materials are probably already laying around your house!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Art From Found Objects: A Juried Exhibition

Museum Statement: This exhibition focuses on artwork created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of common found objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function. Found art derives its identity as “Art” from the designation placed upon it by the artist. “Trash Art” is included in this exhibition as works are primarily comprised from components that have been discarded and then found. 75 % of the media used to create works for this exhibition must be from either discarded, reusable or found objects.

Juror: The juror is Harriet Taub, Executive Director, Materials for the Arts (of Cultural Affairs., NYC Department)

Eligibility: Open to all artists world-wide age 18 and over. All artwork entered must be original creations by the artist and must have been completed within in the last five years.

Submission Guidelines: Submissions are limited to a maximum of TWO pieces. Acceptance into the exhibition is not guaranteed with entry. The Monmouth Museum reserves the right to reject work delivered at the time of the exhibition that is not the artist’s accepted work. Selected artwork must be wired, framed (if media applicable) and ready to hang (no saw-tooth hangers). Artwork must be less than 7 feet in height and able to fit through a standard door. Pedestals must be provided by the artist for all sculpture entries. Entered and accepted work cannot be substituted and all work must be available for the duration of the exhibition.

Submission Fees: Monmouth Museum Members: FREE (see membership form at www.monmouthmuseum.org); Non-members: $20 per piece entered (limit: 2 pieces).

Digital Submission Specifcations: DO NOT submit more than 2 images, unless work is three-dimensional (maximum three images per sculpture). Artists are requested to submit digital images in JPEG format either via email or on a CD. See prospectus for full guidelines.

Artist Statement: Include a statement (not more than 1 page) on the body of work submitted. Explain your choice of media, artistic vision, process, subject matter, training, influences, etc.

Mailing Submissions: Mail payment, CD, image list, application, artist statement and one SASE for return of the CD to:

The Monmouth Museum, P.O. Box 359, Lincroft, NJ 07738

Email Submissions: Email your application, images, statement and image list as attachments to cclark@monmouthmuseum.org.

DEADLINE: August 6, 2010

For full details, please see the Propectus.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Ventura California

Posted on June 10, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

On ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, I preach the wisdom of not getting complacent…of continuing to enter shows. However…

I have been working on my show Psychomachia (see a detail of Lust: The Three Legged Man at left) for more than a year now with Arizona artist Jerry Portelli, and I have worked on it to the exclusion of almost everything else.

So, I really need to take my own advice and decide that it is time that I at least enter a couple of shows…it is all about balance…apples AND Cheetos.

NO MORE EXCUSES.

I PROMISE.

It has ceased to be about cash prizes for me. It is all about the ability to show in new places. Here is one of the shows that I think that I will enter this June:
