OPEN CALL: Love + Lust

Posted on September 25, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

I’M TOO SEXY
for your bananas

I am fascinated by idea of aphrodisiac foods. For the record, ALL foods are aphrodisiacs in my house, ha. Food is always a sensual experience for us, but I, as you know, have issues. However, I am talking about all of the foods that are supposed to make you feel frisky or perform better sexually. The top 10 include everything from the expected, chocolate, to the odd and unexpected, bananas. Bananas? I don’t think so. This next Call is all about love and lust. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Open to Interpretation‘s juried book competition Love + Lust. Have your work become the artistic inspiration for a literary masterpiece today! Keeping reading for details…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Open to Interpretation:
Love + Lust

Open to Interpretation is a juried book competition of photography, poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction. Each book begins with a themed call for photos. The chosen photos become the literary inspiration for the writers’ submissions. A book is created that matches each winning photo with two stories or poems that offer different interpretations of the image. The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all

MEDIA: Photography

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. Love is a powerful affection or personal attachment and comes in a variety of forms, which can encompass romantic, sexual, platonic, narcissistic, or even religious feelings or attitudes. And sometimes love and lust overlap. What images capture these emotions for you?

DEADLINE: January 10, 2013

NOTIFICATION: January 23, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 for 5, $10 ea. add’l

JUROR: After a career as a New York Fashion Editor and working along side the greats of fashion photography, Aline Smithson discovered the family Rolleiflex and never looked back. Now represented by galleries in the U.S. and Europe and published throughout the world, Aline continues to create her award-winning photography with humor, compassion, and a 50-year-old camera.

She has exhibited widely. Aline founded and writes the blogzine, Lenscratch, that celebrates a different contemporary photographer each day and offers opportunity for exhibition. She has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine, is a contributing writer for Diffusion, has written book reviews for photoeye, and has provided the forwards for artist’s books by Tom Chambers, Flash Forward 12, Robert Rutoed, amongst others.

AWARDS: $1000 Cover Award, $500 Judge’s Choice Award Photography and $500 Judge’s Choice Award Writing or Poetry. All participants chosen, if so desired, will have their contact info indexed in the book so as they can be contacted directly regarding their work.

OPEN CALL: Cork Street London

Posted on September 24, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CARRY BACK
some curry
FOR ME

Do you know that one of the most popular foods in London is curry? Mmmhmm. Not bangers-n-mash or blood pudding or spotted dick. Those are just the stereotypes. And although fish ‘n’ chips are still the traditional national food, make room for curry in every variety. You can see for yourself at the opening for this next Call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Cork Street Open Exhibition held at the Gallery at Cork Street in London. Enter almost any media online for as little as £20 (~$33 USD) for your shot at this London show by November 11th! Don’t miss out…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Cork Street
Open Exhibition

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media except reproductions, film & video

DEADLINE: November 11, 2012

NOTIFICATION: December 1, 2012

ENTRY FEE: £20 for one (approx. $32.50 USD), £30 for up to 3, and £50 for up to 6 entries.

JUROR: The panel of judges is headed each year by Louis Singh, director of Beaux Arts Gallery London. In addition, four experts from the contemporary art world are also invited to participate, bringing the total on the panel to five. Members have included established artists, gallery owners, art critics and writers, art dealers, art enthusiasts and celebrities who may or may not be publicly recognized as accomplished artists.

Updates to the jury list are found here.

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”

AWARDS: Grand Prize Award £1,000 Cash Prize & £1,000 worth of Materials and Services.

SALES: All works must be for sale at the exhibition, prices set by the artist, and Cork Street Open Exhibition will retain 40% of the selling price.

CALL for ENTRIES: Minimal

Posted on September 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LESS IS
more

Food quality is often the key to good food. I had lunch with a friend a couple of weeks ago, and she ordered an egg salad sandwich. She raved about how it was the best egg salad ever. A few days later I was having lunch at the same restaurant, and I asked Chef Sam what was in the egg salad. His answer? Eggs, mayo, salt & pepper. Some things just don’t need to be complicated. This next Call is all about minimalism in art, not food. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Hit the Road

Posted on September 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

WHY DID the CHICKEN
cross the road?

The best part of hitting the open road is, of course, the FOOD. My practice is to spend a little time surveying the locals of where we are about the best place to eat. Inevitably, I get a significant number of people that refer me to the same place. And it always ends up being “the best breakfast” or “the best burger” in town. Getting eggs right isn’t easy, folks, and I always appreciate a good reference. This next Call is all about hitting the road. Investigate for yourself…

Check out this Call to Artists for Hit the Road from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

I detest large menus. I can usually make a pretty quick decision, but I married the most indecisive man on the planet. Large menus mean that I am going to have wait even longer to eat. Sometime being able to have anything you want isn’t really what you want. This next Call is completely open, and for some of you it will be a hard choice. Good luck…

Check out the Call for Entries from the Light, Space & Time Gallery for their online Open competition.

CALL for ENTRIES: Global Mail Art

Posted on September 18, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CALL ME
a chicken

I am obsessed with food because I love the TASTE of food. I am not into eating foods for the sake of saying that I have eaten them. Century eggs are a perfect example. I cannot think of a reason to eat a 100-year-old egg that has been preserved in clay, ash and lime. Telling me that the yolk has the smell of sulfur and ammonia does not make me any more likely to want to eat it. Someone else already has a job eating Bizarre Foods, so I’ll pass. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate 100 years. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from LULA Lake Worth Arts for the Global Mail Art Exhibition in celebration of Lake Worth Florida’s Centennial Celebration. This is an all-hung show that might help some of you pad your resumes. Plus, mail art is fun. I love to see what I can get the US Postal system to take….

CALL for ENTRIES:
Global Mail Art

Calligraphers and artists are invited to participate in LULA’s Global Mail Art Exhibition: Lake Worth 100. Mail art is the most democratic form of art.

Traveling the world through mail art can be a rewarding experience that operates within a spirit of “anything goes” which brings to the surface everybody’s creative side.

Decorated envelopes are one-of-a-kind artworks with the handwritten address becoming part of the work. Please join LULA and send a decorated envelope as we celebrate Lake Worth’s Centennial.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Mail art. Please use hand-executed lettering to address your envelope. You may use paint, ink, colored pencil, rubber stamps, or other standard media for illustrations on your envelope.

DEADLINE: November 15, 2013 (This is not a typo, folks. The deadline is over a year away!)

NOTIFICATION: Sign your envelope in the bottom right hand corner on back and include your email address and they will notify you of it’s arrival.

ENTRY FEE: None

JURY: None (all hung)

AWARDS: All mail art will be exhibited throughout Downtown Lake Worth during the Centennial year and linked to the Lake Worth Centennial web site, the City of Lake Worth web site, and can be viewed on the LULA’s Global Mail Art Exhibition: Lake Worth 100 Facebook page. In addition, daily arrivals will be posted on their blog.

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract is Real

Posted on September 17, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ABSTRACTLY
tasting

I find deconstructed food fascinating. I love to see a chef’s abstract interpretation of a classic like Caesar Salad or Boston Clam Chowder. I NEVER expect it to actually taste like the classic dish, but I have never been disappointed. Really. It is truly art on a plate. This next Call is all about the Abstract. Intrigued?

Check out this Call for Entries from EWNS Art Project (France) for the Abstract is Real exhibit. Selection for this show gets you into an online gallery, AND pre-selects you the Paris gallery exhibition in 2012/2014. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Szpilman Award

ROCK or ROLL
foods

Some foods are fleeting. I love it when foods are only available for a couple of weeks. It is a snooze-and-you-lose kind of situation. Romanesco broccoli is a great example. It is a fabulously alien looking vegetable, and the season isn’t all that short, but it is rarely found for more than a couple of weeks at grocers. This next Call is all about the value in the fleeting. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Arte Laguna

Posted on September 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NIGHT CAP

Dessert wines are one of my many guilty pleasures. Biscotti is not just for dipping into your espresso. I’ll take a lovely glass of vin santo with the lingering taste of honey and apricots with a touch of cream. Keep your coffee or espresso (which traditionally comes before vin santo BTW). If you end up at the opening of the collective exhibit for this next Call, have a glass for me. Better yet, bring me a bottle of vin santo back as a souvenir…it beats a t-shirt anytime!

Check out this Call for Entries for the 7th Annual International Arte Laguna Prize for Video or Performance.

Printable food? Really? I was in 5 o’clock traffic a few weeks ago when I hear the radio report that scientists believe we will no longer have to go to the grocery store in another 20 years. We are supposed to be able to print our own food at home. Excuse me? I take solace in the fact that he compared it to “something like the Star Trek replicators.” This next Call is for an application we would have all thought ridiculously space age as well, if asked 20 years ago.
