CALL for MAIL ART: Temporality

Posted on January 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

KISSY
face

I only feel justified making pavlova during a holiday week. Pavlova (like the one at left by Tanya Zouevis) a little like two meringues kiss–through sweetened whipped cream. I think it has to do with the temporary nature of the fragile, crispy meringue and the fluffy (but easily flattened) whipped cream. We’ve just finished with New Year’s Day, and I’m already looking for a holiday. MLK Jr. Day doesn’t usually strike me as a day earmarked for indulgence. What’s after the next holiday? I’ll look into it. In the meantime, this next Call is inspired by the temporary, but you can expand your repertoire past whipped cream. Take a look…

There is no entry fee, but you won’t get your work back (so don’t forget to document). If you’ve been looking for an international show for your resume, here’s one in the Netherlands…

CALL for ENTRIES: BLUE

feeling
BERRY BLUE?

How can I love blueberries IN things, but not care for blueberries on their own? My husband makes fantastic blueberry-maple-bacon corn muffins, and I could eat my weight in them. But, I always avoid the blueberries in my fruit cup. Weirdness. This next Call is open to weirdness–as long as it is blue. Take a look…

2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on January 10, 2014April 24, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014! I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD. There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking. And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists. Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Today we name the
2013 Artist of the Year!

•

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013) ArtAscent.com, and my work ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!! I have a group show in the works coming this Spring (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods? Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you? “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven! I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note: I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle. They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima. I am inspired by your work. It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness. I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship. YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined. She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!

CALL for ENTRIES: Art Biologic 2014

Posted on January 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

here a CHICKEN
there a GOAT

As I search for land for the straw bale house that my family intends to build, critters have become an issue. I am thrilled by the prospects of having chickens for eggs & goats for milk, but am I really dedicated to the biology of it all? Do I really want to be married to the drama of a chicken coop and all the possible predators? Do I really want to give up spontaneous long weekends due to a milking schedule? It may BE all natural, but it doesn’t necessarily COME NATURALLY. This next call wants your take on the art of biology, but it needn’t be all chickens and goats. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Football

hot
TICKET

The only thing I know about football is tailgating food & Super Bowl party appetizers. But somehow, I ended up with dozens and dozens of Facebook friends that are seemingly obsessed. Every Sunday, my news feed fills with ALL-CAPS exclamations of joy, disbelief and frequent devastation over this game. I don’t get it, but I do know what they eat. In the meantime, apparently there are galleries where they like the game too. Maybe this one is for you…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Barsky Gallery (Hoboken, NJ) for Art’s Salute to Football. There’s no entry fee, but the commission is 50%. If it doesn’t sell, you may have the perfect gift for the football fiend in your family. Take a look…

hold the
ARTIFICIAL
please

My tolerance for plastic-y foods is diminishing right along with the availability of beautiful greens in winter. Just when it would be helpful to be a fan of processed foods, I find them less tolerable than ever. I’m even growing intolerant of frozen vegetables. Unless I want to live on spinach and kale, I’m going to have to find a solution. In the meantime, this next Call isn’t tolerating the plastic either; it is all about the natural world. Take a look…

There is something special about hand crafted food. I will never understand how an upscale restaurant can charge $15 for a pre-formed frozen burger. Really? For $15, can’t you hand-form my burger? I think so. This next Call results in a hand-crafted final result, of sorts. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sustainable WEST

Posted on December 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN
is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated. Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods. But, as we work toward designing a kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven? Not so sure. But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call. How about you?
