FEEL my MEAL

Lots of foods do double duty as non-foods. Oatmeal with brown sugar and maple syrup is one of my favorite breakfast meals, but oatmeal makes a great facial mask. I could eat a creamy avocado everyday, but it doubles as a great post-sun moisturizer, too. This next Call reminds us that portraits are just people, but animals, places and things too. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 2012 Small Prints Exhibition

Posted on September 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

POP goes the
PRINT

Arkansas reminds me of popcorn. When I was about eight years old, my father was transferred to Arkansas for work for 18 weeks, and during the inclement weather (a three foot flood, 18″ of snow and 100°+ temps all during our 18 weeks in Little Rock), I would go to work with one of my father’s friends. This friend worked at a local movie theatre as a projectionist, and I would sit in the projection booth and watch the movie through the teeny tiny viewing window with a cardboard box of leftover theatre popcorn in my lap. Blissful. I am doubting that this next Call will feature popcorn at the opening, but you COULD bring your own…

OH MY…
the years of
BUTTERCREAM

I am not a big fan of birthday cake. But honestly, I am not a big fan of birthdays either for all the standard reasons of vanity and mortality.

CALL for ENTRIES: Donkey Art Prize

Posted on September 10, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

UP, UP
and AWAY

I’ve been told that airplane food is getting better. I flew from Tennessee to Phoenix, Arizona in the Spring; however, the flights were short due to layovers so I didn’t eat any meals. My experience with food in coach seating is that it has always reminded me of school cafeteria food — overly starchy, processed and sometimes unidentifiable. If you are one of the winners in the next Call, I expect you to report back on the food for the flights to Milan, London, New York, Shanghai and Sao Paulo. I recommend that you investigate further…

Posted on September 9, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GORGE-OUS!

Last year I told you about a new food rule for our now 12 year old son: When eating at an ethnic restaurant, he must eat ethnic food. I cannot watch my child eat chicken nuggets and fries while we eat Greek or Japanese or Indian or food ever again. So far, so good.

CALL for ENTRIES: Jerry’s Artarama Catalog Cover

Posted on September 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

NOVEL of NOSH

I love reading about food almost as much as cooking it and eating it. Amongst my favorites are polar opposites: Cooking Light and Food & Wine. No surprise, I’ve had a bit of a struggle with my weight over the years. In recent years, I’ve gotten better control of my food issues by figuring out one amazing fact… My menu is far more varied and exciting when I am trying to figure out how to do it in a healthy manner. It was a fascinating personal discovery. So, while I adore the gourmand Food & Wine, I am personally more likely to actually prepare foods found in Cooking Light. This next call can make your work the tempting dessert on the cover of an art catalog. Take a look…

HOLLANDAISE
HORSEY

In french cooking, sauce and knife skills are the beginning of all knowledge. You would be simply amazed by how many sauces start with a basic hollandaise. Similarly, horses are the foundation of many an art class. I had an art teacher that once said to me, “If you can master sketching a the complex form of the majestic horse, all of art is at your fingertips.” I never mastered sketching a horse, but I can make a mean hollandaise. Luckily, this next Call doesn’t require that I SKETCH a horse. Take a look…

O-LIVE YOU!

I am simply over the moon when I my 12-year-old son can be convinced to eat something new…anything new, really. I’m not asking him to eat live sea urchins, sheep brains or anything bizarre. I just insist that he TRIES everything a few times. His recent consumption (and enjoyment) of black olives on pizza almost made me pass out.

POPCORN
POW!

I appreciate a mix of the unexpected with a tried and true, old school favorite. I wouldn’t watch a movie without popcorn, but a dusting of wasabi powder definitely helps keep me away through the parts that seem never ending. I suspect the result of this next Call will NOT require wasabi. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware

Mono No Aware is an international film event open to any person or group of persons making work that incorporates Super8mm or 16mm film format as part of that presentation. (Expanded Cinema) In previous years, 16mm film was blended with dance performance, Super8 with live spoken word/audience involvement, & multi-projections with live jazz/musical devices. This is not a film festival for film-makers, so much as it is an film event for everyone. They believe there is magic in seeing a film print projected, a presence a poet has when reading their own work, a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing music performed live. For these reasons they encourage live film with live additional audio/visual elements.

ELIGIBILITY: Open internationally. Dancers, Sculptors, Musicians, Theorists, Scientists, Athletes, Visual artists, everyone, AND Film-makers are encouraged to submit.

MEDIA: Entries are only be accepted on Super8 or 16mm film. FILM ONLY. No Digital Video.

Those of you who are submitting films from overseas, Canada, and Mexico you will need to include a International Money Order issued at the post office for the amount of $15 USD.

This event is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc (BAC) and by the participants of MNA filmmaking workshops. Mono No Aware is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization.
