I would love to know what percentage of cell phone pictures are of food. I am willing to  bet it is over twenty-five percent…maybe even thirty percent.  Thanks to facebook, I am regularly made aware of the gastronomic adventures of hundreds of my friends.  Unfortunately, due to the number of my friends that are artists that also read this blog… I must honestly admit that I am among the worst of the offenders.  I submit evidence of my guilt by posting  this picture to the left of delicious Buckberry Bread Pudding that I took yesterday at The Lodge at Buckberry Creek.   And, while I am not suggesting you submit pictures of food, this Call will require use of your cell phone.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery called Phone-O-Graphic Arts. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Dark Room Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

Phone-o-graph by Dan BurkholderCALL FOR ENTRIES:
Phone-O-Graphic

Likely you’ve got your phone with you at all times, while you’ve forgotten your dSLR or film camera at home.  You wouldn’t dare leave your phone at home, would you?  It’s liberating, knowing your cell or smartphone can take a picture, anytime, anywhere. 

As Photographers, you’ve likely engaged in the heated discussion over the capability, viability, credibility of the camera phone.  Purists scoff at the intrusion of a mediocre, fraud of a device, that is marring their photographic religion.  And then there are the rest of you, embracing the technology and embracing the all-in-one, multi-media lifestyle of the cellphone-toting imagist, so many of you have become.   

JUROR:   Dan Burkholder has a long history of looking over the photographic horizon to see, explore and teach the next great thing in imaging. His newest book, iPhone Artistry (Pixiq Press, 2011), is the definitive how-to for creative iPhone photographers. His first book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing (Bladed Iris Press, 1995) became a seminal manual for photographers wanting to blend the power of digital imaging with the charm of the handmade print.

Learn more about the Digital Concept show at the Darkroom Gallery!Dan received his B.A. and Master’s degrees from Brooks Institute of Photography, in Santa Barbara, CA. Dan has taught digital imaging workshops for 16 years on three continents and several island countries.

Burkholder’s platinum / palladium and pigmented ink prints are included in private and public collections internationally.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Smoking Mirrors in NYC

& ICE CREAM

Some foods just go together like peanut butter & chocolate, bacon & eggs, even pretzels & mustard.  But sometimes, the best pairings are a surprise like french fries & mayo or chocolate & chili.  This Call combines all the drama of modern dance with the interactive nature of installation artwork–a perfect pairing.  This is a great opportunity to be a part of a two-week pop up gallery in New York City.

Check out the Call for Proposals for Smoking Mirrors from Kinematic Dance and A+ Productions.  No entry fee and an uber-cool concept.  Don’t miss out on this one… particularly if you are interested in installation work!

*Editor’s Note:  If you have ever wanted to try your hand at installations, here is a free opportunity.  Remember, all they can do is say no.  If they do, send me the rejection letter, and you’ll get a free entry into the $2 Art Contest.  See?  You win either way.

Learn more About A+ ProductionsCALL for PROPOSALS:
Smoking Mirrors

Kinematik Dance and A+ Productions are soliciting proposals for exhibitions at Smoking Mirrors for Fall 2011 in New York City.  Artists will collaborate with choreographers and dancers in creating an interactive, multi-sensory performance environment.  Winning proposals will be sponsored for a two-week pop up gallery showing and two performance events with reception. Artistsʼ will receive exhibition opportunity, publicity, and documentation of work.

THEME:  Smoking Mirrors explores how identity has become synonymous with pixilation in our fast-paced, media-driven world.  How have our identities become pixilated through advanced technology and social media and which stages of fragmentation have led us to multiply ourselves? Has this shift given us more freedom and tools to define our own existence or has it, in fact, limited our capacity to simply exist?

Learn more about Kinematic Dance TheaterFrom the invention of the mirror to the iPhone, various devices have helped us create replicas of ourselves, often blurring the lines between what is real, imaginary, and symbolic. In this event we are inspired to journey through the various stages of fragmentation to the inevitable negotiation of identity. Starting with the uninterrupted experience of wholeness we move through the detachment of the self by reflection, society, traditional media (advertising) and hypermedia (social networking).

ELIGIBILITY: Open to installation artists, set designers, multi-media and video artists, and lighting designers.

MEDIA:  Smoking Mirrors is the first in a series of  “Performance Design” events that incorporates dance, design and multi media arts. Part performance, part art installation, and part party, the event will include 60 minutes of dances pieces that fuse movement, technology, imagery, and the unusual use of props. Performances will take place in various areas of a created multisensory and interactive environment, through which the audience will move to view performances.

Download the Smoking Mirrors Prospectus!DEADLINE: May 5, 2011

ENTRY FEE:  There is no entry fee.

SPONSORED BY: Kinematik Dance provides visually stimulating and provocative choreography that fuses elements of urban dance such as Hip Hop, House, Breaking and Vogue with contemporary modern dance. Through a synthesis of artistic elements such as movement, visual imagery, lighting and the unusual use of props, Kinematik reconstructs the conventional by addressing common social stereotypes and engaging audiences to rethink existing notions about urban and popular culture. Kinematik aims to vitalize the concert dance world with a fresh new perspective on the conceptual street dance movement.

A+ Productions is a multi-disciplinary production company that seeks to foster integrated, creative communities by creating a platform for dynamic collaborations between visual and performing artists.  In our city (NYC) of nearly 10 million people artists too often operate autonomously and independently within their respective communities.  By pairing choreographers with designers, architects, sculptors, poets, and the like, A+ promotes a more communal approach to art-making that enhances the work of each artist while making dance more visible and accessible to the general public.

I take some foods for granted.  Friday I learned a valuable lesson:  I am addicted to granola bars.  My beloved husband packs my daily lunch that I then refrigerate or reheat at my office.  There is usually one entree, a granola bar, and two additional salty snacks.  This past Friday he forgot to pack a granola bar.  Without my standard 10:30 am snack, I was lost all day.  Lost like I would be if you took away my BlackBerry.  Sad, but true.  This Call for Entries allows you to use that cell phone that is probably surgically connected to your hand anyway.  Take a look…

Just the other day, I admitted my food stereotypes about Phoenix.  I’ll continue today with Texan food stereotypes.  I think steak or Tex-Mex.  All things Mexican or Spanish, right?  I never thought of chicken fried steak.  Chicken fried steak is considered German, a derivative of Wiener Schnitzel, a veal steak deep-fried in a breadcrumb batter. In chicken fried steak, beef scraps are used and beaten into steak form.  A milk-based cream gravy is almost always served with chicken fried steak too.  Yes, folks…Welcome to Texas.  Okay, I did my research on Texas.  This next call will require you to do a little Texas research as well before creating your artwork.  Take a look…

I reject very few foods, but canned asparagus is near the top of my list.  Fresh asparagus is a happy, grassy, bright veggie that reminds me of spring when served ice cold after being blanched or roasted served with a  little balsamic vinegar reduction.  Yum.  Canned asparagus is gray, salty, slimy, and unworthy of being purchased.

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Social Rejection

Independent Curator, Clayton Windatt is seeking your letters of rejection for display in his new exhibition Social Rejection

Learn more about Social Rejection and exhibit by Clayton Windatt!All artists have received rejections; some more frequently than others.  The guilt, shame, pain and isolation that an artist feels when they receive a rejection letter can seem insurmountable.  This project will empower artists that have been rejected by publicly acknowledging the hostile environment that the arts councils have created. 

By exhibiting rejection letters from artists, collectives and organizations, this exhibition will address the stressful condition imposed on the artistic majority by the elite few.  Artists participating in this exhibition will be conforming to non-conformity and experiencing the empowerment of embracing their worthlessness.

ELIGIBILITY:  Rejection letters can be submitted by artists from all regions, disciplines and backgrounds, collectives and organizations. These letters will be adhered to the walls, ceiling and floor, to cover every surface of each exhibition space Social Rejection exhibits at. A roster of all participating artists will be presented at the rear of the exhibition venue acknowledging the participants, enabling acceptance through rejection.

ENTRY FEE:   Participants are asked to pay a small fee ($10 payable to “Social Rejection”) to help cover costs of creating and maintaining each exhibition as well as the costs of publicizing the event. Letters must be in English or French – there is no funding for additional translation services.

CURATOR/ARTIST:  Clayton Windatt is an artist, curator and outspoken advocate for artists’ rights. He holds a BA in Fine Art from Nipissing University and received his Graphic Designer certification from Canadore College. He contributes actively to several provincial and regional organizations as a writer, designer, and curator and is an active visual and media artist. Clayton’s current curatorial vision explores the unclear nature of the funding world, peer assessment committees and what constitutes acceptance.

NO LETTERS WILL BE RETURNED. If you need to retain your originals, please send photocopies.

COMMISSION:  No artist fees will be paid to any participants during this exhibition. This is an act of political aggression towards the arts councils of Canada. This statement will communicate the anguish that artists experience as a result of being rejected.
