CALL for ENTRIES: CQ No. 47

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about Issue No 47 of the Creative Quarterly Journal!

pretty PROVISIONS

Design impacts my food choices.  Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food.  And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages?  Don’t they already have their own packaging?  I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design.  It is okay; you can admit it too.  Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine.  I love this publication.  Maybe you will too…

them at all. We knew finally that the girls were really
woman in disguise.” –Jeffrey Eugenides

It has been a revolutionary sort of weekend.  I am struggling to figure out what to make of the adults in this world.  While I am trying not to give up on people who should KNOW better, my heart finds relief in the children that DO better.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Richard Brocken, offers a view, often of children, that is reverent and ethereal, sometimes funny or mischievous.  Entirely humane.

CALL for ENTRIES: What Remains

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the What Remains exhibit from LA Photo Curator!mystery LUNCH

My favorite culinary masterpieces are created from the random remains of my refrigerator or pantry.  This is how lunch comes to be almost every day.  Left over veggies from salad or stir fry end up as spring rolls; emergency canned goods create the best vegetable soup.  Because I live in a more rural location, bad weather & poor grocery planning can result in a hungry household.  But a little creativity amongst the ruinous remains, turns out the most delightful surprises.  This next Call wants to see what you creat from what remains.  Take a look…

“”We are almost always intrigued by what is left behind, either when a disaster strikes or simply when a home (or a city) is abandoned.

CALL for ENTRIES: Chromatic

Learn more about the Chromatic Exhibit from Norwalk Parking Authority!asphalt APPETITE

I ate a lot of parking lot food this week.  I have been on the road the entire year so far, and it snowed every single day of my travels.  The roads were mostly clear, but the parking lots were a different story.  So, if the grocery was clearer than the diner, they made my lunch choice takeout salad bars over greasy-spoon burgers.  If the hotel’s lot hadn’t been plowed yet, it was microwaveable oatmeal instead of the local waffle purveyor.  Parking lot food, like parking lot art, can do an artist/body good.  This next Call from a parking authority is a perfect example. Great call…

BEANS of green

The women in my family have a grudge against the snap of a fresh green vegetable.  My mother has canned green beans for her sisters for the last half-dozen years.  Her process for canning requires a certain amount of cooking plus heat-sealing the jars which compromises the texture.  But, that isn’t where the grudge match ends; my aunts cook canned green beans for hours in addition.  What did green beans ever do to the women in my family?  While I contemplate those answers, here’s a Call that wants to see more work by women.  Take a look…

Dairy isn’t everyone’s friend.  My child has struggled with it for years.  He loves it far more than it loves him.  To this day, nothing is better than seeing his FACE when he stretches warm cheese off a pizza or eats that first spoonful of ice cream.  People suffer for fashion and art.  Why not for the love of dairy?  This next Call wants to see all the faces of humanity, not just the dairy daze.  You know how I love portraiture…

My efforts to downsize my kitchen continue.  I’ve always been partial to white dishes, so color doesn’t help.  I shy away from single use gadgets or trendy patterns.  So, I’m left with glass containers, stainless bowls & the occasional wooden spoon. You would think that simplicity would lend a primitive look, but in fact, it makes me keenly aware of the man-made nature of each item, be it molded, cast or hand-formed.  This next Call wants to see YOUR built environment.  This is a wide ranging theme.  Enjoy…

I was born in Florida –Clearwater, to be exact.  My time there as a child was shortlived, a mere 5 years.  But, as an adult, I’ve had great reason to travel the width & breadth of the state.  I’ve eaten every imaginable cuisine in Florida, and I’ve written of many of them for you.  But the best Cuban food I’ve ever eaten was in West Palm Beach –no kidding.  This next Call hails from the same local and promises to offer a great opportunity in an excellent venue.  Investigate for yourself…

It is root vegetable season again.  It isn’t all just potatoes and carrots.  Root veggies are one of my only opportunities to have fresh food all the way through the winter.  I’ve been preaching about turnip roots for years; try them as a substitute, if only in part, for mashed potatoes.  Or celeriac is delicious.  Rutabagas are divine, albeit stinky.  How about kohlrabi?  It isn’t actually a root vegetable, but it holds just as long in cool dry temps.  They are like savory comfort foods, minus the warm cheese.  This next Call invites you to delve into YOUR roots.  Take a look…

“My research has led me to find that the word, ‘root’ has ties to mathematics, music, machinery and computers to list only a few. Without giving too many clues, I’d like you to delve deeper into the meaning of this word for you and illustrate this word through your photography.  It could be related to a source, the origin of a thing or being, a foundation, an anchor and lots more. Have fun and let your mind explore.” –from Susan Spiritus via laphotocurator.com
