The spirit of culinary improvisation is alive and well at my house.  Exact ingredients are unheard of, and trips to the grocery store are always necessary.  Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and red wine vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar will do in a pinch.  We’ll see how the enchiladas turn out tonight, ha.  This next Call is for a show located in the heart of improvisation, and I love the theme too.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Surrealist Influence on Contemporary Photography being curated by Lanie McCormick for The Hideout Theatre in Austin, TX.  I’ve worked with Lanie in Austin before at the Austin Figurative Gallery, and she brings a refreshing curatorial vision.  Don’t miss this “no entry fee” opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Surrealist Influence
on Contemporary Photography

Learn more about The Surrealist Influence show in Austin at The Hideout Theatre!“Surrealism started out as a philosophical movement in the 1920s.  The Manifesto, written by André Breton laid out the goals of the surrealist group which was comprised of writers, philosophers and artists.  Freud was a huge influence on the movement with his practice of interpreting the meaning of dreams.  That idea played out visually amongst the group which left us with rich visual oddities from artists such as Dali, Magritte, Ernst, Miro and Man Ray.   

“I feel the surrealist artists impacted my own methods of creating, and encouraged me to look within to find a deeper significance with my art.  Now  I am looking for other photographers who have followed a similar path and others who have felt a kindred connection to the surrealist artists or movement.” –Lanie McCormick, Curator

I believe that recognizing ingredients in a gourmet dish should be an Olympic sport.  Try it at home sometime.  Have someone prepare something simple, and then try to figure it out based on taste only (pull the blindfold out of storage).  It is harder than you might think.  Telling one herb or seasoning from the next is complicated if YOU didn’t put it in the dish.  This next Call is for an exhibit that will bear witness to many an Olympic sporting event in London this year.  Take a look…

I often eat more after dinner than I do the rest of the day combined.  We jokingly assume I have a tape worm, and we have named him “Fred.”  Fred seems to enjoy alternatingly salty and sweet snacks until he finally passes out from exhaustion.  Popcorn then cookies then pretzels then cereal and so on.  It ain’t pretty folks.  This next Call wants to see your view of the hours between dusk and dawn.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Between Dusk & Dawn

 

Between the last light of day and the first rays of dawn, the world as we normally see it transforms to one in which nightclubs, all-night stores, third shift workers, and nocturnal wildlife take center stage. Spaces abuzz with activity during the day become quiet and desolate, and artificial light transforms mundane spaces into something almost magical. Photographers who work at night experience a nocturnal world through which most sleep.

The perception of night is different for each photographer. For some, the darkness can present a time for reflection and repose, for others, the fear of the unknown instills feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. For Between Dusk and Dawn, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the night or other darkness visually, metaphorically, and emotionally.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All photographic media are encouraged.

Learn more about Juror Brie Castell!DEADLINE:  March 30, 2012

NOTIFICATION:  Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

Castell works with established and emerging artists from around the globe for exhibition and representation, and brings to Asheville leading authorities in the field of photography for educational programming. Castell has also been working as a photo-based artist for 12 years, has exhibited extensively around the country, and in numerous public and private collections. Castell received her MFA from East Carolina University, and currently teaches photography at Brevard College.

AWARDS:  For this exhibition, juror Brie Castell will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, and up to an additional 40 to be included in the online gallery.  All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase.  A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice award will also be announced.

Night Light

 

Night photography reveals a world that we do not consciously see and offers photographers unique creative opportunities.

Night and day, dark and light – one implies the absence of the other. But like yin yang, each has a bit of the other. The surprising thing to first time night photographers is how their images reveal things that the mind’s eye does not see. Different light sources reveal their true colors. Compared to daylight, directed and weaker light creates drama, contrast, mystery and mood.

The dynamic range of light at night tends to be more in line with our tools abilities. Of course there are technical challenges with shooting in low light, but also tremendous creative opportunities. That’s what Darkroom Gallery wants to show with this exhibit.

Do you work with existing light – or do you introduce your own? Maybe you paint with light emitting light brushes. How have you approached shooting at night to express your vision? They want to see.

Portraits tell a story, depict a character, reveal emotion, demonstrate sensitivity and illustrate an intimate connection with your subject.

The greatest challenge and most important element in a successful portrait is an intimate connection with the subject. The ways in which you explore this connection, going beneath the surface and finding what is the essence of the portrait determines its success as a representation of your subject.

Explore different styles and methods of making revealing portraits that reflect not just the subject but you the photographer as well.  Demonstrate the sensitivity necessary to move beyond literal renderings to more intimate portraits. Create images that go below the surface and penetrate deeply into a subject’s character.
