How food looks matters.  There is a reason split pea soup turned up as vomit in The Exorcist.  I love the taste, but let’s face facts folks… split pea soup looks gross.  There is no great surprise that kids find brussel sprouts and wild rice and oatmeal don’t appeal to a large segement of the population.  Why eat peas when you can eat Peeps?  I get it.  But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  This Call for Entries will give you a chance to show beauty (or not) from your perspective.

CALL for ENTRIES: Supersize

One of my favorite parts of fine dining is the amuse bouche.  There is something about knowing that you are only going to get one taste, one bite of a delicious dish that makes you savor the experience.  It is no wonder that the many of the best foods I have ever tasted were an amuse bouche.  This next Call for Entries invites you to do exactly the opposite…wallow in the excess of the supersized.

Download the About Face Prospectus!What fuels our fascination with obscene quantities and obsessive amounts?  From supersized to overstuffed, from bulk to buy-one-get-one, we are in a constant quest for more, more, more; yet we decry the after-effects of over-consumption.  How do artists interpret these ideas in their work?  This exhibition explores the art of the supersized.  The jury seeks work that tackles the absurdity of art and life on a grand-scale.  From humorous depictions to critical commentary, the jury seeks work that address these issues through their scale, proportion, and witty approach.

Supersize will be installed in the spacious Mezzanine Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden’s Arts Building. With over 4000 sq ft of exhibition space, moveable walls, high ceilings, tile floors, an Arakawa hanging system, Internet access, and electricity, the Mezzanine Gallery can accommodate all sizes and types of installations.  As Annmarie includes a thirty acre sculpture garden, outdoor works will also be included in Supersize.

EVERYDAY

As much as I love food, I truly despise making the decision about what to eat meal after meal.  And no one, except my 11 year old, will say what they really want to eat.  My husband always wants fish, but he couches it in “I want something lighter, healthier.”  I usually want something exotic or rich or covered in sauce, but I usually start with “why don’t we treat ourselves tonight?”  But not my kid.  What does he want for dinner?  Pizza and Swiss Cake rolls.  Every meal, everyday… just ask him.  The juror for this next Call knows what he wants too.  Take a look…

Cab E Net by Juror Mike McCollumJUROR:  Mike McCollum was born in Hoquiam, Washington but acquired many of his artistic sensibilities from the San Francisco Bay Area. “While at UC Berkeley I apprenticed with Peter Voulkos assisting him with 3 major outdoor sculptures.”

“Abstract expressionism is one of my primary influences and I am enamored with the idea of ‘arriving at’ rather than ‘aiming at.’   I want to surprise myself. My job as an artist is to make decisions–what to leave in and what to take out. I see art as a process of reduction–getting rid of the chaff and striving for the essence of the idea. In my career I have worked in many mediums — bronze, ceramics, drawing, painting, printmaking and wood. I start with a basic idea and then it’s a matter of rescuing that idea from all the contrived directions it may take me.”

ABOUT SEQUIM ARTS:  Sequim Arts is a non-profit arts organization located on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state, with Mount Olympus to the south and Victoria, British Columbia across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north.  Sequim Arts was established in 1969.  Many of their artists are nationally recognized and all members benefit from their local community’s appreciation and support.

WET MY WHISTLE

I’m not a huge fan of drinking plain ol’ water on a regular basis.  However, I recognize the vital importance of water in my daily food experience.  I can’t drink iced tea at my mother’s house because the water is very sulphur-y.  And when I lived in the USVI, it only took one turn cleaning the cistern to teach me to cook ONLY with bottled water in the islands.

With the proliferation of cameras of all sorts, it’s no wonder everyone sees themselves as a photographer of one form or another.  All of these tools beget an enormous number of images created by almost anyone who can get their finger on the “shutter.”  But how many of those images are so remarkable we are left breathless as we are introduced to a new insight – a new way of seeing something, perhaps even something familiar?

Red Balloons by Alice BettsI-Park is pleased to announce that it will be hosting its third international, multi-disciplinary Environmental Art Biennale on September 10, 2011.  This will be preceded by a 3-week residency that begins on August 23, 2011.  This residency is exclusively for the artists who will be creating pieces for this event.

I-Park’s interest in environmental goes back to its early years as an artists-in-residence program. Visual artists in particular were drawn to the rich, varied natural landscape existing at I-Park and were permitted to create modest pieces on the land. This evolved into a practice of active staff support and encouragement for more ambitious installations. In 2007, a separate residency session was created, devoted solely to the field of environmental art; a successful exhibition was held later that year. 

Glass Bottom Livingroom by Ted EfremoffELIGIBILITY:  Artists working in the following fields:  Environmental sculpture/installation, Landscape/garden design, Music composition, sound sculpture/design, Performance art, Written/spoken word/interpretation, Photography, video, moving image, Inter-disciplinary

MEDIA:  I-Park now views environmental art as a multi-disciplinary field and also encourages inter-disciplinary collaborations. The artistic engagement of the site for this program can involve site-responsive aesthetic interventions, the creation of new outdoor spaces and environments, conceptual investigations and projects that re-imagine our relationship to nature.

DEADLINE:  The application deadline for the program is February 28, 2011.

AWARDS:  $2,000 per participant to cover artist’s fee and material costs. Limited transportation cost reimbursement is provided.  Lodging & meals provided during the residency.
