ART COMPETITION: photoSPIVA 2011

Posted on November 26, 2010November 22, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

EXPERIENCE by the POUND

There is something to be said for tradition and experience. I traditionally gain 7 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Years, but that isn’t the best example, I suppose. I just can’t resist the sweet potato cassarole. However, the experience gained by doing something year after year better equips me to tackle the problems and make it better the next year, in theory. This next call proves that after 30 years, some people just know how to get it right.

Check out the Call for Entries from the Spiva Center for the Arts for a competition called photoSPIVA 2011. Founded in 1977, photoSPIVA has become the longest-running phot competition of its kind in the US. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
photoSPIVA 2011

PhotoSpiva is a national competition hosted annually by Spiva Center for the Arts. Founded in 1977, PhotoSpiva has become the longest-running photographic competition of its kind in the U.S. As stated by the founders, the objective of PhotoSpiva is to “present an exhibition of excellence in photography, celebrating the scope and vigorous activity of today’s contemporary photographers.”

Co-Founder Jim Mueller stated, “We have intentionally avoided any categorization of either photographers or their work in setting forth the criteria for this competitive.” PhotoSpiva welcomes any photographic process as long as it is original artwork and has not been previously exhibited at Spiva Center for the Arts. This philosophy has created an unbiased forum for exhibiting and educating photographers. The PhotoSpiva prospectus, promotional materials and exhibition brochures are distributed to professional photographers, emerging artists, educators, students, and amateur photography enthusiasts throughout the United States.

ELIGIBILITY: PhotoSpiva is open to any amateur or professional photographer in the United States or its territories. Submitted images must be the photographer’s own work, and it is the sole responsibility of the photographer to obtain written releases from any recognizable person(s) depicted. Work derived from any photographic process — traditional, digital, or photo-based mixed media — is eligible as long as the work is original and has never been exhibited at George A. Spiva Center for the Arts.

BEGINS: December 3, 2010

DEADLINE: January 9, 2011

SPECIFICATIONS: Digital entries should be JPG files at least 4 megapixels (height or width 2000 pixels or greater) in RGB color mode.

Accepted images — only those chosen by the juror — must be matted with presentation-quality white matboard (minimum 2-inch border), framed in standard black metal frames, and wired for hanging. No off-white or color mats will be accepted. Framed exhibition prints must arrive at Spiva Center for the Arts by 5:00 pm CST February 22, 2011.

JUROR: Anthony Bannon (born 1943) is the director of George Eastman House, International Museum of Photography & Film, located in Rochester, N.Y. He has held that position since 1996, previously serving as director of the Burchfield-Penney Arts Center and director of Cultural Affairs on the campus of the State University of New York at Buffalo, both located in Buffalo, N.Y.

George Eastman House is the world’s oldest museum of photography and largest museum of photography and film. During Bannon’s tenure the museum launched three internationally renowned graduate and post-graduate schools of film and photograph preservation and conservation.

Bannon has lectured at museums, colleges, and festivals worldwide. He currently serves as chairman of the Lucie Awards/International Photography Awards and was awarded the Golden Career Award in 2007 by the FOTOfusion Festival of Photography & Digital Imaging for his “far-reaching leadership and scholarship in the cultural community.”

CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

Posted on November 21, 2010November 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

BOWLING FOR SCROLLS

I’m told the Super Bowl is in January. I say, “I’m told” because a football would have to hit me square between the eyes to make me aware of when the season begins or ends for any sport. Yep, I’m just not that girl. Interestingly enough, the idea of the Super Bowl does conjure image of very specific foods for me despite the fact that I’ve never been to a Super Bowl party. Hmmmm… Chicken Wings anyone?

This next Call for Entries is for the Scroll Bowl V sponsored by Magazine 22. The only similarity between this Call for the Scroll Bowl V and the Super Bowl? They are both in January and both have Bowl in the name, but I had to start somewhere, eh? *Editor’s note: 4 hours after this post went live, the venue and date changed. See edits below noted in green italics…

CALL for ENTRIES: Scroll Bowl V

SCROLL BOWL V will be the featured event at The 22 Magazine Launch Party, on April 2nd, 2011. Harnessing the ancient power of scroll storytelling, some of world’s finest creators gather to show off their work on large and small rolls of parchment. Scroll art is one of the oldest forms of storytelling, and the folks at The 22 Magazine want to make the experience of viewing a scroll more accessible to everyday life.

MEDIA: There are many different ways to approach art on scrolls, and they ask artists to push those limits-linear storytelling to abstract ideas.

Larger format works are shown on their huge SCROLLIE VIEWER, but they also appreciate smaller format or long scrolls that hang on the wall. Solo, group collaborations, video or performance pieces are acceptable. How each artist attacks the “page” is what makes these events fun.

WHERE: The Scroll Bowl V will take place at Frost Street Art Space in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), an exciting new gallery and screening venue that provides live online streaming of events! Click here for videos of the space.

From the organizers: “What this [change of venue] means for the artists is 1) A week long show instead of one night 2) documentation of the actual event via 4-7 installed cameras 3) live streaming of the event online and 4) more space and much nicer venue. ”

HOW TO SUBMIT: All submissions (in the form of images or links) can be sent to the22magazine@gmail.com. Please put “SCROLL BOWL SUBMISSION” in the subject line.

DEADLINE: December 30, 2010 or until the show is full. New deadline March 16, 2011.

ELIGIBILITY: Artists in any location are welcome to submit. Although they cannot fund anyone’s travel expenses, the folks at The 22 Magazine will be happy to present your scroll for you if you cannot make it to the event.

Clear as mud? Email The 22 Magazine for details!

Posted on November 13, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

GATHERING CHERRIES

After my post referencing Chef Cat Cora and the inequality of kitchen roles between the sexes, I received an amusing amount of email about “hunters” versus “gatherers.” I am still writing an art blog, right?

CALL for ENTRIES: 2011 Nat’l Contemporary

Posted on November 9, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

BUFFALO…in brief.

When you think of Colorado and food, does it conjure images of snow bunnies and hot chocolate? Then clearly you need to revisit Colorado. When I think of Colorado, I think of Buffalo Burgers. Buffalo burgers, once a fringe food, have now found their place in everyday fare. In South Central Colorado, the buffalo burgers are unmatched. I wonder if there’s any chance buffalo will be on the menu at this next exhibit’s opening night…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Arts Center’s 14th National Juried & Invited Contemporary Exhibition at the Center for the Arts in Western Colorado.

CALL for ENTRIES: Gender Matters

Posted on November 8, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

MUFFIN MAKIN’
MOMMA

Have you ever wondered why most women fill the family role of cook? (although not in my house) …But in the professional world most Chefs are men? Me too. I like being female, despite the issues…even in the South. Today I’m paying tribute to one of my favorite female Chefs, Cat Cora, who proves gender doesn’t matter…at least in this case. But we all know that gender does matter, especially in this next call for entries.

Check out this Call for Entries for Gender Matters/Matters of Gender from The Freedman Gallery at Albright College. The entry fee for up to three images is only $20, and the juror, Judith Tannenbaum, is spectacular. Did I mention that this art exhibit is open to entries from BOTH genders? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Gender Matters/Matters of Gender

Ever since Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro organized the collective Womanhouse project in San Francisco in 1972, as well as Judy Chicago’s 1979 Dinner Party, shows centering on women’s reality have become a staple in galleries nationwide.

Gender Matters/Matters of Gender, expands this tradition to include works by artists of both sexes who work from a consciousness of how gender is reflected in art, how the artist’s gender influences her or his medium, and how gender often affects the circumstances in which the artist creates. This show will include a range of artists who make art which explores sexual identity, evolutions in biological reproduction and art which is sometimes informed by an awareness of gender based craft and traditions.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to everyone. Entries must represent original works of art or design and represent or address the theme in some way.

MEDIA:
Open to all traditional
& non-traditional genre & media
(including video, sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, etc.)

JUROR: Judith Tannenbaum is the first Richard Brown Baker Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design. From 1986 until 2000, she served as curator, associate director, and interim director at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Tannenbaum has organized numerous exhibitions focusing on painting, photography, sculptural installations, and interdisciplinary work with a particular interest in connections between the visual and performing arts. Since moving to RISD, several projects, including “On the Wall: Wallpaper by Contemporary Artists” (2003), have focused on relationships between fine art and design.

ENTRY FEE:
Entry fee is $20.00.
Artists may submit up to 3 images.

DEADLINE: December 1, 2010

NOTIFICATION: January 21, 2011

SUBMISSIONS: Go to: www.albright.edu/freedman/. Use “Upload” link. After completing entry, please send $20 entry fee payable to: Albright College. Entry is not considered “accepted” until check is received.

ABOUT THE FREEDMAN GALLERY: Established in 1976, the Freedman Gallery is a nationally recognized gallery dedicated to contemporary art.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Arrangement

Posted on November 4, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

GUILTY PLEASURE

I frequently joke that I would eat anything that won’t run from me. (Maybe I just need a pair of these Waffle Sneakers from BBC.) But I must admit that how food is presented, it’s arrangement, if you will, makes a huge difference. I love petite little bites that cause me guilt because I know that I am disturbing a masterpiece. Speaking of masterpieces…

It will come as no surprise that this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called The Arrangement conjures of the exquisite fusion of food and art…the art of presentation. Yes, I am that obsessed with food. But I know you will dig deeper for your own “Arrangement”…don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Arrangement

The tradition of still-life as subject matter has roots deep into the history of art, pre-dating photography as a medium by centuries.

Fine artists in all mediums, photography included, benefited from the total control they had over the final piece; the art making began with their arrangements of the mostly inanimate objects they intended to represent. As Vermont Photo Space Gallery owner Ken Signorello aptly points out, “…it is art squared, where one first creates a work of art and then another to preserve it.”

The history of still life in Photography is as old as the medium itself. Henry Talbot himself produced the first photographic images using the inanimate objects of still life. In its earliest days, utilizing still life as subject matter allowed for the lengthy exposures necessary for its initial technologies.

In the early 1900s, studies in line and form of object contributed to popular abstractions. In the 1950s, still-life concentrated on the kitsch, and re-emerged in the 90s after a few decades in obscurity, in perfect partnership with the new trendy super-saturated film stock. Overall, the genre has been largely ignored, despite periodic bouts of influence – surprising, for a photographic practice with so much potential.

What is still life today?

Vermont Photo Space wants you to show them your arrangements, from advertising to record photography, the abstract to the obvious. Whether you are an amateur or professional, you may have experienced your still-life photographs as some of your favorite images – Juror Paula Tognarelli wants to see them.

JUROR: Paula Tognarelli is the Executive Director and Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography. The Griffin Museum of Photography’s mission is to promote an appreciation of photographic art and a broader understanding of its visual, emotional and social impact.

Tognarelli holds a M.S. in Arts Administration from Boston University; is a graduate of the New England School of Photography (Applied Program) and is a current candidate for her Masters in Education at Lesley University as a visual arts teacher.

Paula describes her photography as her native language. “I’ve always been more visual than vocal. I could draw a picture much faster than I could articulate a story in words. Photography made dialogue that much easier for me.”

Tognarelli is also a digital imaging specialist. She has done extensive postgraduate study in color management, color theory, digital photography and digital imaging processing. She has lectured on digital imaging throughout the United States and in Japan, representing Agfa and Polaroid Graphic Imaging. She has also been a speaker at the Seybold Conferences. She is a former member of the Xerox Technical Advisory Board. Paula was named by Printing Impressions magazine as one of twelve women who made a major contribution to the Graphic Arts/ Imaging industry.

RULES FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

3. Images should be as large as possible but no larger than 1280 pixels on the longest side, type jpg – set to the highest quality. DPI can be set to any number, but if you must specify something go with 72 dpi.

DEADLINE: Images and payment must be received by midnight EST on the submission closing date December 22, 2010.

RIGHTS: Photographers retain all rights to their work, except for submissions accepted for exhibition: artists grant Vermont Photo Space the right to use their images to promote the exhibition and for display on VPS website and for inclusion in an exhibit catalog.

Vermont Photo Space Gallery provides free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of our exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work, and retain all rights.
