GINGERBREAD HOUSES

I am too lazy to build a gingerbread house from scratch.  I find it far more entertaining to buy a kit and then malign it with creativity, often inedible.  Yep, I also latch hook horns onto puppies and add glitter to my Van Gogh paint-by-number masterpieces.  Kits don’t have to be restrictive; I find them inspirational. This next Call wants you to be inspired by 2.5 pounds of mystery materials.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Mystery Build ProjectFeatured Artist Terri Lloyd made me aware of this one.  I love projects that get my creative juices flowing again.  The best part of this one?  You get to enter the contest, but KEEP the resulting work.  Investigate this one…

Call me closed minded, but there are somethings that I am not interested in eating. Nature is in my face here in the Great Smoky Mountains, and we eat local honey for its ability to help reduce our allergies.  However, I am not drinking poison ivy tea everyday for 6 weeks to reduce my chance of breaking out in a rash.  People do it.  I went on a guided hike and listened to my naturalist explain the ritual to me.  Call me crazy, but you shouldn’t eat anything whose name starts with “poison”.  Some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries is proof that others think the same.  Read on…

GÂTEAUX!

Build it, and I will eat. I stand in awe of pastry chefs. Most of the ones I know are delightfully batty (industry rumor is that the flour makes you a little off center). I love that their creations are often part art, part architechture. If you don’t think how something looks affects how it tastes, you are clearly eating ugly food. This next Call wants to see the built environment that inspires you.  But HURRY, the deadline is fast approaching…

The Built Environment

Images that capture a vision of the man made world around us.

We’ve been documenting the built environment since the beginnings of photography. It’s natural – our lives are entwined with and dependent upon structures of all kinds. Let us examine the genius designs, abundant materials both found and fabricated, engineering feats, beauty and function, of our constructed environments. Technical mastery has much to do with a great architectural photograph, but also an understanding of the architect’s vision, and/or the humanity that invigorates and utilizes its spaces.

Learn more about the Persona show at the Darkroom Gallery!Whether a skyscraper or a shed, chasm span or walking bridge, from convenience store to industrial complex, public or personal (heck, an outhouse is a pertinent structure), and even the remains of such, Darkroom Gallery is looking forward to featuring your built environments.

JUROR: With an engineering degree from Trinity College (Dublin) and an Architect/Author father (Raymond McGrath), Norman McGrath was primed for educated view of his subject. He has been photographing architecture and interiors for decades, capturing the work of major architects and designers and their well-known works. His images have been featured in the foremost architectural publications, as well as his popular book, “Photographing Buildings Inside Out”. The American Institute of Architects selected McGrath for its Institute Honor award. McGrath continues to author and co-author books illustrated with architectural photography (“Manhattan Skyscrapers”, “Skyscraper Rivals”, and New York’s Pennsylvania Station”) as well as educate and inspire students of photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and the Calumet Institute of the University of Maryland.

Learn more about the Gowanus Print Lab in Brooklyn NY!2011 has been a year of rebellion.  This year has seen long-standing monarchs overthrown in Egypt and Libya and mass protests for calling change in the economic-political power structure in Europe and the United States, most notably in Occupy Wall Street.

Dissent at this level has not been seen since the late 1960’s, where protesters developed both nonviolent and more radical protest techniques that are still used in today’s struggles.

Young people in particular are standing up and using their voice, and in times of social turmoil and political upheaval art can be used as a powerful and emotional communicative tool.
