CANDIED LECTURE

It has been over a week since I’ve stood on my soapbox and lectured about the advantages of Art Publication.  You’ve missed it…haven’t you?  Okay, Okay…if you insist, I will take candy from a baby.  Here goes:   Art Publication is great for your art career.  Most exposure is good exposure.  There, that’s the short version.

Fraction Magazine has an open-call for submissions for future issues as well as their One Picture Look feature that began in May 2010.  Fraction Magazine is an online photography magazine and photographic review.

ART PUBLICATION: Fraction Magazine Open Call

Visit Fraction Magazine online!Fraction Magazine was started in a little coffee shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March of 2008 by Joshua Spees and David Bram.  In 2009, Josh got married, moved to the East Coast, and is now pursuing other photographic avenues.

Today, Fraction Magazine is edited and curated by David, and often includes guest curators and writers such as Melanie McWhorter, Mary Goodwin and Larissa Leclair.

One Picture Look is a new feature (May 2010) to Fraction Magazine.

Fraction Magazine Issue 4The idea is to bring attention to the amazing work that is either found on Flickr within the Fraction Magazine Flickr Group or the work that is submitted directly to Fraction Magazine.  The idea is that one photograph, will make you want to look at more.

So if you have one picture, that they just have to see, please visit the submissions page or add it to the flickr group.

The One Picture Look page will be promoted just like the rest of the magazine and will be updated every couple of weeks.

To submit your photographs for the next issue of Fraction Magazine, please send a link to your site and tell them the specific portfolio or body of work to look at.  Please remember to put “submission” in the subject line of your email.

Due to the large number of submissions, they will not look at emails with attachments.  Send your link to fractionsubmissions@gmail.com .

If you have questions, please visit the Fraction Magazine website.

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Barcelona

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!CREATIVE
SHELLFISH

Need a little inspiration?  I turn to food, and I suspect that comes as a surprise to not a one of you.  I miss paella de mariscowhich ceased to be an option when my husband developed an allergy to shellfish…but I digress

Instead of turning to seafood paella–which will only make your rear end larger and, if you’re like me, leave you feeling guilty–think Spain…no, really.  Check out this opportunity for an Artist Residency Opportunity in the heart of Barcelona brought to you by the art lovers and supporters at  homesession.org!

HomeSession:  Artist Residency in Barcelona

Julie Guiches was Artist in Residence number 2Where?  The flat is a modern loft situated in the center of Barcelona, just near Montjuic Park, 10 minutes walking from the historic center. The area is quiet, lively and “authentic”.  There are 2 metro lines.  It is a 92 square meter flat with two patios (+ 15 square meters each).

What?  The idea of this residency is based on a real integration to local life: the artist shares the flat with the founders of the project: Jerome Lefaure and Olivier Collet. They receive artists for short residencies, up to one month.  Of course, the artist has his own keys during his stay.

They have sets, tripods and spotlights for photography and provide support for local contacts, equipments and eventual research of performers, locations, materials. The residency is mainly dedicated to creation, but they often organize a presentation of the work, that makes for a greater interaction with the local art community.

Delphine Pouille was the homesession 3rd residentAccomodation:  Sharing a flat enables the artist to enjoy freedom as well as better integration with the local life and cultural scene.  The private place for the artist is a closed alcove (5,5 Sq. m.) with a double sofa/bed, opening on the kitchen/living room. In the living room, a desk is reserved for the artist; Internet access is available in the whole flat.

Common equipment:
– broadband internet access
– kitchen, refrigerator, micro-wave, washer, oven, dining table chairs etc.
– bathroom, washing machine
– television, video, videoprojector, radio, CD player
– air conditioning / radiant floor heat

Residency as an interchange:  They want the residency to be a real opportunity for the artist and are prepared to be a link toward spanish artists and the local artistic community, in terms of making possible collaborations, four-handed creations or artistic events depending on the artist’s interests. Open studio and gallery exhibitions are organized if possible during or at the end of the residency.

Minutiae an installation at homesession by Daniel NeversConditions of the residency, fees and living expenses:  Due to the limitations of the flat, they only provide residency to one artist each period. The residency is planned for a short period (maximum: one month), and it is possible for a same artist to apply for two residencies.

The do not charge any residency fees to the artists. As an interchange, they ask the artist to give them a piece of artwork at the end of the residency. The artist will also finance their own living expenses as well as the trip to Barcelona on their own.

Application:  Please send a complete application form to:  info@homesession.org

The application form should include:

– a resume in english, french or spanish
– a cover letter or description of a specific project in english, french or spanish
– 10 to 20 pictures of your artwork.  For videos: < 6 Minutes

CALL for ENTRIES: Tryst and the BP Oil Spill

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!

ONION TEARS

The thing I love most about being an artist is the creation of the work, but a close second is belonging to a community of artists.  Most artists are happy to have a local group of close knit creative types with which to share, and I am overwhelmingly fortunate to have all of you.  Okay, I’m tearing up more than when I chop onions, folks.

My point is…while many of us already have an artist family, we must remember that families have to grow or the lineage will end.  I have a friend in NYC who is trying to expand her fold.  Tryst Collective is looking for locals for a show called “BP’s Black Plague,” but never say never…send ’em your stuff because you just never know what could happen.

TRYST COLLECTIVE:  BP’s Black Plague

Check out the Tryst Collective's blog!NYC-based arts group, the Tryst Collective, is looking for artists, photographers, sculptors, crafters, musicians, etc. who would like to be a part of a *one-night* group show – an art, music, and networking event.

This is the first installment of a series of themed Trsyt shows that will be held throughout the year.  This particular show—BP’s Black Plague: a response in art and music— is centered around the reactions and responseswithin the creative community to the BP oil spill and/or our nation’s oil dependence.

Check out the R Bar NYC!Jessica Rowshandel writes, “We are still waiting for the date, but we are aiming for mid to late Sept.  We are looking for local people who can get to the venue the night of the show since it’s a D-I-Y sort of thing.

“The venue is R Bar New York City, which is located at 218 Bowery Street, New York NY  10012. The event will be ticketed.

Artists and musicians are encouraged to sell their work and network -making money and new connections.

Check out the PlanetSave.com perspective!We do not take any commission. We ask that the participants invite friends/followers because we need to pay for the space through ticket sales and more importantly, we are building a community.

“This is a very grassroots group and is held in nontraditional arts space, so participants should expect that. The venue allows us to hang work and we also have presentation and table easels. There will be a cash bar.”

If interested, please email them at:
trystcollective@gmail.com
with samples of your work and a little about yourself.

CALL for ENTRIES: Figuratively Speaking

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!SWEET & SOUR

As I frequently shout from the mountain top, I love portraiture.  I love faces, specifically.  But when I began my Psychomachia project with Arizona artist Jerry Portelli, he challenged me to limit my use of faces and to concentrate on other figurative depictions.  The process started on a sour note but has ended up pretty sweet…a lemon drop, if you will.

Maybe “Figuratively Speaking,” the National Call for Entries from the Emerging Young Artist (EYA) Organization and the Village Gallery in Montgomery, AL, will be your lemon drop, too.  The entry fee is a reasonable $35, and the Best of Show winner will get a solo show at the Village Gallery.  You know you want the show…so go for it.

National Juried Call for Entries: Figuratively Speaking

“Figuratively Speaking” is not limited to the traditional/contemporary aspects of the human forms, conditions, interactions, and abstractions of the human body. “Figuratively Speaking” includes figuration in contemporary design in terms of shapes, lines, and colors.

TO SELL OR NOT TO SELL

No surprise…it is hard to put artists in categories.  However, if I were going to force myself to do so, I would mention that some artists are very retail oriented and others just want to produce work with substance and meaning (often known only to themselves).  And, as you know…it is the ultimate artists’ chicken-or-the-egg argument.  Fight amongst yourselves.

I love artwork that leaves me pondering meaning and crawling into the subtle nuance of every aesthetic choice; but, a hand-bound journal with hand-cut pages and a surprise on every page is artwork that function inside the daily workings of my life.  Want to sell your artwork?  Check out this Open Call from Peaceful Products.  They want to help you sell your art, and they don’t take commission.  Yep, you heard me…they ask that you donate a portion of the proceeds to the charity of your choice.  Take a Look:

CALL for ENTRIES: The Map as Art

Subscribe to ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!

ART ON THE GO

In our mobile world, it seems that all of life revolves around fast food, GPS and mobile phones.  Maps have become a rarely used–and lately a little understood–artform. 

When I think of maps as an artform, I think of the fantastical maps of Canadian Artist Shane Watt(Ironic considering the call is limited to US Artists).  So, I was really excited to find this Call for Entries from Sebastopol Center for the Arts celebrating the Map as Art.

CALL FOR ENTRIES: Mapworks

Check out the Sebastopol Center for the Arts online!Sebastopol Center for the Arts invites artists living in the United States to submit work to Mapworks: the Map as Art.  SCA is looking for art which references maps and mapmaking. 

This may be done directly or indirectly, metaphorically, or conceptually.  The terrain may be (but is not limited to) geographic, psychological, political, historical, cultural, mathematical, imaginary, or personal. 

All media is acceptable, including installation. Video and film should be submitted as a DVD in loops no longer than 4 minutes; selected artists will need to supply their own equipment for display.
