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:

INTERNATIONAL CALL: United Kingdom

Posted on June 9, 2010June 12, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Happily, ArtAndArtDeadlines.com readers span the globe; however, the Calls for Entries and Calls for Submission are not always as accommodating.

This gem of a Call for Submissions is from Beers Lambert Contemporary Art in the UK and is open to artists everywhere. You can enter up to 6 images for only 10£ or $15 US.

Please note the deadline is JUNE 13th…
so don’t waste any time.

EMERGING ARTISTS
INTERNATIONAL
EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY

Beers Lambert Contemporary Art invites all artists working in 2D and 3D to submit to an international exhibition, I Am Solitary I Am An Army, in collaboration with Surface Gallery in Nottingham, UK, scheduled for September to October of 2010, that will explore current paths and ideas in contemporary art.

The exhibition wishes to showcase the very best in
emergent art from around the world.

Entry is open to all artists whose work speaks to concepts of identity, progress, temporality, and self, and interpretations of these themes, and/or operates upon this conceptual basis through an exciting approach to medium/material, presentation, and figurative or abstract art.

Beers Lambert encourages submissions from artists whose work explores a unique aesthetic sensibility and a progressive approach to the themes described.

The work sought after should engage with the themes, present new avenues for dialogue, and offer an exciting approach to issues that challenge and determine the direction of contemporary emergent art.

Successful artists will be exhibited and considered for inclusion with Beers Lambert Contemporary Art.

Due to overwhelming initial response, the deadline for applications has been extended to midnight, Sunday June 13, 2010.

ART PUBLICATION: Applied Art Zine

Posted on June 8, 2010June 8, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Proving you exist is an age-old philosophical effort and the frequent stuff of cocktail party debates. However, it is rarely an artistic endeavor.

“Proof of Myself” is a start-up art zine featuring applied art that aims to address the self-titled debate.

In December of 2009, we featured the artwork of Catherine Roach. Roach is currently attending The New England Art Institute in Boston for Graphic Design, and approaching her final semester. She has decided to start an art zine featuring applied art.

Here’s the call…

PROOF OF MYSELF is a new zine/photobook/art collaborative.

“Proof of Myself for me,” says Roach, “means anything that you have done what reflects you. Your identity, your love, your passion, your favorite color, your home, your town, whatever.

“As long as your work reflects something that is you. Something that is a piece of you, something that proves you exist.”

Roach would prefer hand-made pieces.

For instance, if you want to submit a writing piece, make it handwritten and mailed (or scanned).

If you want to submit art, scan pieces that are tangible. Mixed media with some digital aspects are cool too, as long as they have a “hand-made” feel.

Please don’t mail original artwork unless you do not want it returned.

Just scan and email your artwork to Catherine Roach.

Remember, I always suggest you research your juror, curator, gallery director or editor. Take a look at Roach’s Featured Artist post from December 2009 to get a better idea of who she is and what might make the cut.

Want to contribute? Email Catherine Roach: proofofmyself.zine@gmail.com

PHOTOGRAPHY: Class Pictures

Posted on May 30, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

Photography Week on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com has been great! I’ve gotten lots of positive feedback so we might try a theme week again before long. To close out the week, Installment #5 is geared toward students!

Here’s the Call: Class Pictures

“Artists are currently invited to submit work for consideration in Class Pictures, an RSVP online exhibition of exceptional work by currently enrolled students of undergraduate photography programs. Students may submit up to five images from a single project.

“As the school year winds down, educators like myself have the pleasure of reveling in the birth of projects that have been gestating in classrooms, darkrooms, studios and computer labs for the past year.

“Challenged by rigorous institutional demands and the need to create compelling work while maintaining their individuality, students’ progress and achievements become evident in the richness and diversity of their final portfolio presentations.

“In an effort to bring some of this work to a wider audience, we will present a selection of extraordinary work by a few of these outstanding students.

“The names of those involved in the selection process will be posted in the coming days.

“RSVP is a Michael Mazzeo Gallery program of curated online exhibitions. By way of call and response initiated on the gallery blog, artists are asked to submit images to be considered for inclusion in specific, themed shows.

“RSVP exhibitions are handled in the same professional and enthusiastic manner as the gallery’s on-site exhibitions, with advertising and sales efforts, on-demand printed catalogs and gallery support.

“It is important to note that this is not a pay-to-play program and the exhibitions are not ‘competitions.’

There is no charge for entries.
There is no charge for inclusion in exhibitions.
There is no charge for inclusion in exhibition catalogs.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Emerging Work

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

Photography Week
on Art & Art Deadlines

Installment 4:
No Resume, No Problem

You know how much I love shows that don’t require artists to submit resumes.

I think artwork should be judged on its merits, not its pedigree…but I don’t often trip across artshows where they are brazenly looking for work that has been little seen or documented…the Apeture Portfolio Prize.

Finally…we don’t have to have the “chicken or the egg” conversation. Yippee.
Here’s the call for the Apeture Portfolio Prize.

The purpose of the Aperture Portfolio Prize is to identify trends in contemporary photography and specific artists whom they can help by bringing a wider audience.

In choosing the first-prize winner and runners-up, they are looking for work that is fresh and that hasn’t been widely seen in major publications or exhibition venues.

First prize is $5,000.

The first-prize winner and runners-up are featured in Aperture’s website for approximately one year.

Winners are also announced in the foundation’s e-newsletter, which reaches thousands of subscribers in the photography community.

Deadline: July 14, 2010, at 12:00 noon EST.

Results Announced: November 1, 2010.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Black and White

Posted on May 26, 2010June 3, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

Photography Week
on Art & Art Deadlines

Installment 3:
Black and White Photography

I live in an area with a long-standing artisan crafts tradition, and I overhear a lot of conversation about how digital and “new-fangled” media will be the end of art as we know it. As you might imagine, as a Xerographist, I couldn’t disagree more. Artist Jerry Portelli and I even went so far as to create a series of square pieces in celebration of the pixel. So, I find this call from the MPLS Photo Center fascinating. Take a look…

Here is a great call for the photographer in us all…
Black & White Photgraphy Call for Entries from the MPLS Photo Center

“Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.” – Robert Frank

What does “black and white” mean to contemporary photographers in the digital age? When Robert Frank made this observation, black-and-white film and silver prints were photography’s most commonly used materials. Nearly a half century later they are approaching “alternative media” status. Or are they? Are the implications and meanings of black and white still central to photography’s unique nature as a visual medium?

Submissions to this juried exhibition are limited only by your imagination and your photographic eye. Portraits, fashion, editorial, landscapes, documentary, conceptual – all of these genres, and others not named, are open for consideration.

Prints should take whatever form they need to in order to represent the continuum of tones, including gray tone, warm tone, cool tone, sepia, or other monochromes that comprise your photographs. Whether the initial recording was made on film or pixels is immaterial. However, in the final assessment, prints will be judged on their merits. Qualities of form, content, and relation to traditions of black-and-white printing and visualization will be sought in the pool of submissions.

About the Juror: As the founder, principal, and sole employee of re:photographica, George Slade has delved into matters related to the photographic arts for nearly thirty years. Although he started these inquiries as a photographer, his work over the past twenty years has been focused on curating, consulting, and commenting on others’ images. He was the artistic director of Minnesota Center for Photography (2003-2008) and the director of the McKnight Foundation Artist Fellowships for Photographers Program (1998-2008). His writings have been published widely; he received a 2007 award from the Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers grant program. Web sites like Flickr and Facebook, and digital imaging in general, are drawing him back into the making side of photography. On Quodlibetica, his photographs accompany Kristin Makholm’s “Five Memos on a New Museum.”

Juror: George Slade, Principal at re:photographica
Entry Fee: $35 up to 5 images; $10 each additional (no limit on number that may be submitted)
Prizes: $300 for 1st; $200 for 2nd; $100 for 3rd
Entries Due: July 23, 2010
Notice of Acceptance: August 2, 2010
Exhibition Dates: September 10 – October 25, 2010
Reception: September 10, 2010

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Photo Abstraction

Posted on May 24, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

The difference between taking photographs and being a photographer is about the same as playing golf versus being a golfer. I’m no photographer, but it is part and parcel of my media, Xerography. So…let’s call this Photography Week on Art & Art Deadlines.

Without photography, nothing would ever be cookin’ in my kitchen. To that end, here’s a great call for the photographer (or wannabe) in us all…Here’s a Call for Submissions: Photo Abstraction from The Vermont Photography Workplace.

“We often think if the camera as a tool for recording minute details of the visual world, in images that sometimes seem so real they could be mistaken for actual experience.

“But photographs can also build on abstract elements inherent in the medium, such as blur, and in the visual world, such as pattern and texture. For “Abstraction in Photography” we seek images that utilize abstract components as their primary mode of expression.

“Fields of color and exquisite shapes found in nature, linear designs discovered in the built environment, blur created in-camera or with vintage processes—the sky’s the limit. Astonish us with your eye and mind for the abstract.

“Juror Stephen Strom will select forty photographs for exhibition on the walls of PhotoPlace Gallery in August and on the gallery website. An additional thirty-five images will be chosen for PhotoPlace’s “On-Line Gallery Annex.”

Click Here for a Upcoming Full Exhibition Schedule for the Gallery.

“All selected work will be included in a full-color exhibition catalogue available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes.

Click Here for Submission Guidelines.

The deadline for Photo Abstraction is August 16, 2010.

“Juror: Stephen Strom, photographer, astronomer, writer, and educator. His most recent photography book is Earth Forms, published by Dewi Lewis Publishing.”
