CALL for ENTRIES: Phone-o-Graphic

Posted on April 15, 2011May 19, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD FOR THE EYES

I would love to know what percentage of cell phone pictures are of food. I am willing to bet it is over twenty-five percent…maybe even thirty percent. Thanks to facebook, I am regularly made aware of the gastronomic adventures of hundreds of my friends. Unfortunately, due to the number of my friends that are artists that also read this blog… I must honestly admit that I am among the worst of the offenders. I submit evidence of my guilt by posting this picture to the left of delicious Buckberry Bread Pudding that I took yesterday at The Lodge at Buckberry Creek. And, while I am not suggesting you submit pictures of food, this Call will require use of your cell phone. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery called Phone-O-Graphic Arts. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Dark Room Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Phone-O-Graphic

Likely you’ve got your phone with you at all times, while you’ve forgotten your dSLR or film camera at home. You wouldn’t dare leave your phone at home, would you? It’s liberating, knowing your cell or smartphone can take a picture, anytime, anywhere.

As Photographers, you’ve likely engaged in the heated discussion over the capability, viability, credibility of the camera phone. Purists scoff at the intrusion of a mediocre, fraud of a device, that is marring their photographic religion. And then there are the rest of you, embracing the technology and embracing the all-in-one, multi-media lifestyle of the cellphone-toting imagist, so many of you have become.

JUROR: Dan Burkholder has a long history of looking over the photographic horizon to see, explore and teach the next great thing in imaging. His newest book, iPhone Artistry (Pixiq Press, 2011), is the definitive how-to for creative iPhone photographers. His first book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing (Bladed Iris Press, 1995) became a seminal manual for photographers wanting to blend the power of digital imaging with the charm of the handmade print.

Dan received his B.A. and Master’s degrees from Brooks Institute of Photography, in Santa Barbara, CA. Dan has taught digital imaging workshops for 16 years on three continents and several island countries.

Burkholder’s platinum / palladium and pigmented ink prints are included in private and public collections internationally.

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry.

If you are a parent or legal guardian submitting for a minor, please make it clear on the submission form.

Digital Submissions: All submissions must be made by digital files through:

1. Upload on the Dark Room Gallery website or

2. Sent via email to submissions (at) VermontPhotoSpace.com. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it along with an application form. There is a $5.00 surcharge for email entries.

3. Images should be as large as possible but no larger than 1280 pixels on the longest side, type jpg – set to the highest quality. DPI can be set to any number, but if you must specify something to go with 72 dpi.

FEES: Up to three images may be submitted for a fee of $20 US for on-line submission and $25 for email submission. Additional images may be submitted for an additional $5 US per image.

DEADLINE: Images and payment must be received by midnight EST on May 24, 2011.

RIGHTS: Photographers retain all rights to their work, except for submissions accepted for exhibition: artists grant Dark Room Gallery/Vermont Photo Space the right to use their images to promote the exhibition on the website and for inclusion in an exhibit catalog.

Darkroom Gallery provides free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of our exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work, and retain all rights.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Smoking Mirrors in NYC

Posted on April 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PICKLES
& ICE CREAM

Some foods just go together like peanut butter & chocolate, bacon & eggs, even pretzels & mustard. But sometimes, the best pairings are a surprise like french fries & mayo or chocolate & chili. This Call combines all the drama of modern dance with the interactive nature of installation artwork–a perfect pairing. This is a great opportunity to be a part of a two-week pop up gallery in New York City.

Check out the Call for Proposals for Smoking Mirrors from Kinematic Dance and A+ Productions. No entry fee and an uber-cool concept. Don’t miss out on this one… particularly if you are interested in installation work!

*Editor’s Note: If you have ever wanted to try your hand at installations, here is a free opportunity. Remember, all they can do is say no. If they do, send me the rejection letter, and you’ll get a free entry into the $2 Art Contest. See? You win either way.

CALL for PROPOSALS:
Smoking Mirrors

Kinematik Dance and A+ Productions are soliciting proposals for exhibitions at Smoking Mirrors for Fall 2011 in New York City. Artists will collaborate with choreographers and dancers in creating an interactive, multi-sensory performance environment. Winning proposals will be sponsored for a two-week pop up gallery showing and two performance events with reception. Artistsʼ will receive exhibition opportunity, publicity, and documentation of work.

THEME: Smoking Mirrors explores how identity has become synonymous with pixilation in our fast-paced, media-driven world. How have our identities become pixilated through advanced technology and social media and which stages of fragmentation have led us to multiply ourselves? Has this shift given us more freedom and tools to define our own existence or has it, in fact, limited our capacity to simply exist?

From the invention of the mirror to the iPhone, various devices have helped us create replicas of ourselves, often blurring the lines between what is real, imaginary, and symbolic. In this event we are inspired to journey through the various stages of fragmentation to the inevitable negotiation of identity. Starting with the uninterrupted experience of wholeness we move through the detachment of the self by reflection, society, traditional media (advertising) and hypermedia (social networking).

ELIGIBILITY: Open to installation artists, set designers, multi-media and video artists, and lighting designers.

MEDIA: Smoking Mirrors is the first in a series of “Performance Design” events that incorporates dance, design and multi media arts. Part performance, part art installation, and part party, the event will include 60 minutes of dances pieces that fuse movement, technology, imagery, and the unusual use of props. Performances will take place in various areas of a created multisensory and interactive environment, through which the audience will move to view performances.

DEADLINE: May 5, 2011

ENTRY FEE: There is no entry fee.

SPONSORED BY: Kinematik Dance provides visually stimulating and provocative choreography that fuses elements of urban dance such as Hip Hop, House, Breaking and Vogue with contemporary modern dance. Through a synthesis of artistic elements such as movement, visual imagery, lighting and the unusual use of props, Kinematik reconstructs the conventional by addressing common social stereotypes and engaging audiences to rethink existing notions about urban and popular culture. Kinematik aims to vitalize the concert dance world with a fresh new perspective on the conceptual street dance movement.

A+ Productions is a multi-disciplinary production company that seeks to foster integrated, creative communities by creating a platform for dynamic collaborations between visual and performing artists. In our city (NYC) of nearly 10 million people artists too often operate autonomously and independently within their respective communities. By pairing choreographers with designers, architects, sculptors, poets, and the like, A+ promotes a more communal approach to art-making that enhances the work of each artist while making dance more visible and accessible to the general public.

CALL for ENTRIES: Enacting Queerness

Posted on April 12, 2011April 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

SPROUTS ALIVE!

I am reclaiming brussel sprouts for the tasty side. I am tired of hearing them spoken of in the same tone as snot, vomit and boiled okra. Gone are the days of bitter and boiled little cabbage-like veggies that your mother forced you to eat. Celebrate the roasted sprout with rosemary and a squeeze of lemon. Live a little. Actually, live and let live. This next Call is about reclamation and celebration too. Say it with art…

Check out this Call for Entries for Enacting Queerness by The Omni Proje[q]t. There is NO ENTRY FEE, but it will require a bit of a leap of faith on your part. Take a chance!

*Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, a handful of you will unsubscribe from this site because of the content of this post. It makes me sad–not that you’re going, although I hate to see people leave us behind, but because if you are a human that still has issues with the gender and/or sexuality of others, your life must be very small indeed.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Enacting Queerness

Enacting Queerness uplifts ideas, actions, and/or persons that exist out of the norm in terms of their gender and/or sexuality. It celebrates the reclamation of deviant identity as an empowering one. Whether queer identified or not, socially we have been brought to recognize these acts of identity reclamation. This exhibition aims to uplift these revolutionary ways of existing.

DEADLINE: May 15, 2011

ENTRY FEE: No entry fee necessary. You just have to pay for the shipping of your polished work to and from their space.

SALES: No commission will be taken out of what is sold.

RESOURCE for ARTISTS: Model Mayhem

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

DRIVE-THRU
YOU

Food access easily drives what you actually consume. There isn’t a real restaurant within 10 miles of my home. As a result, we cook almost everyday. There is only one grocery store within 10 miles of my home; therefore, there is no late night run to the store for chips or ice cream or chocolate. We have to plan our bad behavior in advance. This post will help you plan your artistic behavior and give you phenomenal access to a great artist resource.

Check out this Opportunity to join Model Mayhem! There is no fee to join, and some models with work for prints. The database is searchable by state and city, and if there are available models near me… there are models near you! Take a look…

MODEL MAYHEM

My esteemed collegue, Arizona-based artist and photographer Jerry Portelli, has been shoving me out of my comfort zone for a couple of years now. And, he introduced me to Model Mayhem–an online resource, primarily for models, that offers photographers and artists a way to connect to models near them. For the models, it is an online “go see.” For you, as an artist, you get to pour over their profile and previous work to find just what inspires you.

DEADLINE: Quit procrastinating

NOTIFICATION: The sooner you join, the sooner you’ll find your muse.

ENTRY FEE: I have had several models agree to TFP or Trade for Prints in lieu of cash. They build their portfolio, and I have money to eat and still produce artwork. Model Mayhem is free to join, but you must be approved.

ELIGIBILITY: The approval process isn’t automated. You must fit into a member category and the requirements for that category.

Here are a few highlights from their site:

Bio Requirements You are asked to provide a short bio as part of your application. Please provide details about your experience, goals, reasons for being on MM, or any other relevant information. Please err on the side of providing more info rather than less. Also, don’t make it sound like a personal ad.

Provide 4 Different Photos (or more!) At least four different photos are required for all accounts. No duplicates, re-crops, or manipulations of the same image. Members are expected to maintain a minimum of four relevant photos at all times.

Quality Images Required

They want quality images on Model Mayhem. Your photos must be judged to be of sufficient quality. This means that you should not submit webcam shots, mirror shots, poorly exposed photos, too grainy, too much compression, arm’s-length self portraits, personal snapshots, etc.

Make Your Photos Big Enough

MM recommends that your photos be 600-800 pixels on the longest side. Anything less than 200×300 pixels or so is typically too small to see. Images wider than 800 pixels will be resized.

No Fakes They take copyright laws very seriously. If your photos or profile appear to be the work of someone else, you will be denied.

No Pornography Pornographic material is not allowed on this site. This includes photos, linking to such sites or networking, or referencing adult work in your bio or portfolio.

CALL for ENTRIES: Can You See Me Now?

Posted on April 10, 2011April 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

DIAL “A” for ADDICTION

I take some foods for granted. Friday I learned a valuable lesson: I am addicted to granola bars. My beloved husband packs my daily lunch that I then refrigerate or reheat at my office. There is usually one entree, a granola bar, and two additional salty snacks. This past Friday he forgot to pack a granola bar. Without my standard 10:30 am snack, I was lost all day. Lost like I would be if you took away my BlackBerry. Sad, but true. This Call for Entries allows you to use that cell phone that is probably surgically connected to your hand anyway. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Naturalist Art Show

Posted on April 8, 2011April 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

LONGHORN?

Just the other day, I admitted my food stereotypes about Phoenix. I’ll continue today with Texan food stereotypes. I think steak or Tex-Mex. All things Mexican or Spanish, right? I never thought of chicken fried steak. Chicken fried steak is considered German, a derivative of Wiener Schnitzel, a veal steak deep-fried in a breadcrumb batter. In chicken fried steak, beef scraps are used and beaten into steak form. A milk-based cream gravy is almost always served with chicken fried steak too. Yes, folks…Welcome to Texas. Okay, I did my research on Texas. This next call will require you to do a little Texas research as well before creating your artwork. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Hubbard Art & Naturalist Art Show and Festival. The entry fee is only $20 for up to four images and you DO NOT have to be a vendor at the festival to enter. Do your research and enter…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Social Rejection

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

A-SPARE-AGUS ME

I reject very few foods, but canned asparagus is near the top of my list. Fresh asparagus is a happy, grassy, bright veggie that reminds me of spring when served ice cold after being blanched or roasted served with a little balsamic vinegar reduction. Yum. Canned asparagus is gray, salty, slimy, and unworthy of being purchased. Rejected. Feeling rejected yourself? Vent a little frustration by participating in the Call for and exhibit all about being rejected. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Submissions for Social Rejection, an all-hung exhibit of rejection letters. I know you’ve got them, folks, because you’ve been sending them to me. Here’s your chance to put a Canadian show on your resume too.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Social Rejection

Independent Curator, Clayton Windatt is seeking your letters of rejection for display in his new exhibition Social Rejection.

All artists have received rejections; some more frequently than others. The guilt, shame, pain and isolation that an artist feels when they receive a rejection letter can seem insurmountable. This project will empower artists that have been rejected by publicly acknowledging the hostile environment that the arts councils have created.

By exhibiting rejection letters from artists, collectives and organizations, this exhibition will address the stressful condition imposed on the artistic majority by the elite few. Artists participating in this exhibition will be conforming to non-conformity and experiencing the empowerment of embracing their worthlessness.

ELIGIBILITY: Rejection letters can be submitted by artists from all regions, disciplines and backgrounds, collectives and organizations. These letters will be adhered to the walls, ceiling and floor, to cover every surface of each exhibition space Social Rejection exhibits at. A roster of all participating artists will be presented at the rear of the exhibition venue acknowledging the participants, enabling acceptance through rejection.

DEADLINE: June 1, 2011

NOTIFICATION: All Hung Exhibit

ENTRY FEE: Participants are asked to pay a small fee ($10 payable to “Social Rejection”) to help cover costs of creating and maintaining each exhibition as well as the costs of publicizing the event. Letters must be in English or French – there is no funding for additional translation services.

CURATOR/ARTIST: Clayton Windatt is an artist, curator and outspoken advocate for artists’ rights. He holds a BA in Fine Art from Nipissing University and received his Graphic Designer certification from Canadore College. He contributes actively to several provincial and regional organizations as a writer, designer, and curator and is an active visual and media artist. Clayton’s current curatorial vision explores the unclear nature of the funding world, peer assessment committees and what constitutes acceptance.

NO LETTERS WILL BE RETURNED. If you need to retain your originals, please send photocopies.

COMMISSION: No artist fees will be paid to any participants during this exhibition. This is an act of political aggression towards the arts councils of Canada. This statement will communicate the anguish that artists experience as a result of being rejected.

Please send letters to:

Clayton Windatt
ATTN: SOCIAL REJECTION
P.O. Box 23022
North Bay, Ontario CANADA
P1B 4K6

FIRST VENUE: gallerywest is a space for contemporary art, located at 1332 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario. They will host the premiere of Social Rejection on July 7th at 7pm! Everyone is invited to come and see rejection letters from dozens of artists from all skill sets and backgrounds plastered together on the walls.

For complete details, Read the Full Call!

Editor’s Note: Whether or not you submit your rejection letters, take a few moments to explore Clayton Windatt’s site. He is certainly living OUT LOUD–a lesson we could all learn.

CALL for ENTRIES: Print Exchange

Posted on April 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BEET ME

I love introducing new foods to food newbies. Anytime you can get someone to take a chance on a new food, your reward comes in the form of their response–often shock, surprise and delight. There are an extreme few foods that I don’t like, but beets have always been one of them. When in Arizona recently, I was in the company of someone who ordered a roasted beet salad. I tried it and LOVED it. Merry Christmas for me; I now love beets. Thank you, Kim. For some of you, this next Call for Entries will introduce you to a whole new media.
