CALL for ENTRIES: Laumeister

Posted on June 14, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

EXTRA BACON,
please

Vermont makes me think of club sandwiches. Vermont conjures images from the movie White Christmas of Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen singing “Snow, Snow, Snow” in the dining car on their way to rescue a ski resort sans the snow. Just prior to their spontaneous singing escapade (complete with napkin mountains, parsley trees and sugar snow), they were eating clubs. Vermont = club sandwiches. Have one with extra bacon for me when you make it into the exhibit for this next Call. Take a look…

REMINDER: Art Inter/National

Posted on June 4, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

REMINDER:

EAT your
HEART out!

While watching a TV show about how salami is made, my son announced that eating the organs of an animal is wrong. However, when I explained all the things that his new belief would eliminate from his menu, he then asked, “Do they at least WASH the intestines first?” Hehehe. These days I prefer my animal organs in the form of chicken pate, but I will have to start keeping the ingredient list to myself, apparently. This next Call for Entries involves a different sort of heart all together. This could be an excellent opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Appropriated Gender

Posted on June 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HEADS and COCKTAILS

Gender roles and alcoholic beverages are laughable. Out of town on business this week, I was sitting in the hotel bar watching women ordering glasses of wine and brightly-colored martinis while men ordered beer and brown liquors. Really, people? I know I live in the South, but do we really have to fulfill this stereotype. Kudos to the couple in the corner– he ordered a daiquiri (umbrella included), and she order a shot of something brown. You saved my night, folks. This next call is all about challenging notions of gender. Take a look…

RACE YOU
to the party

I plan a Kentucky Derby party each year, well, abstractly speaking. The party never actually happens, but my intentions are always good.
