mania

It is snowing like crazy at my house right now, and I promise you that the grocery store is crowded with people shopping as though it is the last food they will ever buy.  There is something about the peaceful quilt of snowfall that brings out the animal instinct regarding food.  My favorite is when people stock up on microwaveable food that they won’t be able to cook if there is no electricity.  What would these folks think if they could see themselves in the mirror?  This next call is a “momentary mirror” of sorts.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Filter Photo Festival for Archetype Drift, an exhibit at the Johalla Projects Gallery (Chicago, IL).  The entry fee is low, and I appreciate the questions this Call asks.  Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Archetype Drift

 

Photography can be a painful mirror.  Because of its illustrative tendencies and mnemonic capacities, photography enables us to tell the stories we want to tell with a hammer that is the frame. What happens when the medium gets in the way of the most important narratives?

Photography can be a seductive enabler that, at its worst, allows us to fetishize, beautify, and conduct shallow investigations. Meanwhile, paradigmatic changes in history and culture metastasize alongside new technological ways to make, edit, and distribute images. Are photographers pushing envelopes of meaning and relevance? Are they even keeping pace?

Powerhouse Gym by Brian UlrichWith the ubiquity of images high and low, how does an image-maker create cultural value in 2013? Archetype Drift is a call for new methods of photographic making, editing, and presentation.  It is a call for risk taking, chance operations, relabeling, and letting go of the comfortable.  It is in itself an experiment and a (momentary) mirror.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All types of photographic and lens-based work will be considered, including video and GIFs.

DEADLINE:  February 4, 2013

of my heart

Second chances make the world go round. For years I professed a hate for beets and asparagus.  I LOVE almost everything edible, but I had bad experiences with these two.  In hindsight, my asparagus experience had been of the gray canned variety, and my beets experience had been with the canned pickled variety as a child.  I was convinced a while ago to retry FRESH asparagus and now I am addicted.  I had a roasted beet and goat cheese salad in Arizona two years ago, and now I keep beets on hand at all times.  This next show’s deadline was originally January 10th, but it has been extended to February 12th.  Don’t miss your second chance

The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word.

THEME: Love + Lust. Lust is an intense appetite, craving, or untamed desire. We lust for an array of things—money, power, objects, sex, or just living life.

And sometimes love and lust overlap. What images capture these emotions for you?

From beloved pets to exotic wildlife, animals hold a certain fascination for photographers. They serve us as faithful guardians, trusted steeds, and loyal family members. We invoke them to highlight human traits both good and bad, but also search for our humanity within them.

Photographing both the tame and the wild, we seek kinship that cannot be communicated with words. Whether as taxidermy for study, pets for companionship, or out in the wild, for Creatures, the Kiernan Gallery seeks photographs that depict our complex relationship with the animal kingdom.

I used to think always equate urban settings with sushi; however, sushi can be found everywhere these days.  I know of a town with a population of approximately 450, and even their local convenience store carries sushi.  I may have to revert to the idea of street vendors or food trucks as urban food.  Or maybe truly urban food is represented not by a specific type of food so much as a large variety of options.  Hmmm.  This next call wants to know how YOU define urban.  Investigate this opportunity…

JUROR:  It is no wonder William Neill has developed a deep, spiritual connection with nature, being a resident of the Yosemite National Park area since 1977. His award-winning photography has been widely collected and exhibited in museums and galleries.

His work has been published in several books, and a retrospective collection of his finest landscape photographs was published by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Co, in 1997, entitled Landscapes of the Spirit. Several periodicals have published his images, and Neill writes a monthly column “On Landscape”, for Outdoor Photographer magazine. Neill’s corporate clients include: Sony Japan, Bayer Corporation, Canon USA, Nike, Nikon, The Nature Company, and Sony Music/Classical.

Perhaps most important to the task of jurying Rare Earth, is Neill’s extensive experience in close observation of others’ work – he has been an instructor of photography for 32 years. Mr. Neill is looking forward to the opportunity to see your work, for the purpose of curating what will be an awe-inspiring exhibition of landscape photographs.
