CALL to ARTISTS: Farm, Winery & Bistro

Posted on January 20, 2014January 20, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CHEERS
to you

There is very little in this world that I love as much as a glass of wine alongside a freshly-made pate. But red wine decided it didn’t like me a decade ago, and I’ve never been a fan of beef liver. So, what does one do? A beautiful white and a thrifty chicken liver pate. I smell a date night coming in all of this. In the meantime, this next Call offers a business excuse to drink wine. It’s all about the rationalization sometimes…

Check out this Call for Entries from Six Summit Gallery (Ivoryton, CT) for Farm, Winery & Bistro at Chamard Vineyards (Clinton, CT). This show offers a unique opportunity to possible design your own wine label. Be sure to check this out…

TO EAT

Being hungry is my nightmare. Some people are afraid of snakes or the dark or being a victim of a crime. I fear hunger. To my knowledge, there is no deep-seated hunger issues in my childhood. I just scares me. Hunger isn’t just prevalent in rural areas or third-world nations. People are hungry every where, every day, from the country to far more urban areas. I’d like to see a little more attention-getting street artists focus their work on the people in the shadow of their work that are hungry. This next show is an opportunity…

CALL for MAIL ART: Temporality

Posted on January 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

KISSY
face

I only feel justified making pavlova during a holiday week. Pavlova (like the one at left by Tanya Zouevis) a little like two meringues kiss–through sweetened whipped cream. I think it has to do with the temporary nature of the fragile, crispy meringue and the fluffy (but easily flattened) whipped cream. We’ve just finished with New Year’s Day, and I’m already looking for a holiday. MLK Jr. Day doesn’t usually strike me as a day earmarked for indulgence. What’s after the next holiday? I’ll look into it. In the meantime, this next Call is inspired by the temporary, but you can expand your repertoire past whipped cream. Take a look…

don’t cut the
CAKE

Isn’t it funny how certain seasons suddenly bring about the craving for very specific foods? It never occurs to most people to even think about fruitcake until we start seeing winter holiday decorations appear. My German in-laws (3rd generation via Wisconsin) save kuchen for Christmas. Kuchen is German & approximately translates to “cake,” but I know it as a sort of custard & jam filled sweet-dough, low-rise cake that screams Christmas. Much to my surprise, it is also the state dessert of South Dakota–the home of this next Call. This is a beautiful venue, by the way…

TO GROW

I am slightly obsessed with the hunt for the perfect piece of land. My husband & I are determined that 2014 will be the year we finally build a house, but we can talk about that adventure later. Right now, I have to find the land. I need land that will both allow for a solar-efficient, south-facing house, but I also need a large enough plot to accommodate our offices, a studio, and a garden, of course–and cheap. I know. The land really MEANS something to me just like the landscape needs to MEAN something in this next Call. Keep reading…

CUTS of cold

It isn’t even officially winter yet, and I am already whining about wanting to picnic. I think it is the prevalence of cold cuts at holiday parties that does this to me. That, or my dogged determination to not be happy in whichever food season I find myself. But, I prefer to think it is the subliminal messaging from cold cuts. Four months and counting until I can eat in the open air again. Speaking of open air, check out this next Call. This is a new category of Call for AAAD. Show them some picnic-style love…

GOAT

I have a significant number of friends that simply won’t cook for me. They assume, based on my writing, that I might be too discerning. It is ridiculous and unfounded, of course. I eat everything (except wheat). But many of them have read enough of my posts to feel safe if they always include a stinky cheese. And, a handful of them have read my posts closely enough to know that goat cheese is proverbial gold. If you only get one chance to make a first impression, goat cheese is always the gold standard. This next Call gives you an opportunity to see if your work is the gold standard. Please take this chance…
