When is the last time you went to a cooking demonstration?  I love the sort of public bravado that comes with a demonstration meant to sell pots ‘n’ pans or cutlery.  And infomercials are just the best.  If I didn’t have a day job, I would be broke from all the gadgets I could buy like sandwich makers, dehydrators, juicers, blenders, choppers and baking pans.  I am in love with the NyFork (left). This next Call gives you a public outlet to display your work with the need for fancy knife skills or clever alliteration.

DON’T MAKE ME
BEET YOU!

I love root vegetables.  Carrots and turnips are yummy, but I simply have never developed a taste for beets.  I don’t hate beets.  I just don’t eat them.  But I must admit I’ve been tempted.  My mother grew up in the hills of Tennessee, and when she was little, her mother used to boil beets in a kettle over an open fire outside in the yard. 

The little devils that they were, my mother and her siblings used to grab them by the greens out of the pot and squeeeeeeeze.  Apparently they shoot out like little red rockets out of their skins.  Beet rockets, funny.  Get to the source of your imagination with this Call.

FISHY FACE

I have more than one friend that won’t eat food with a face… which should make her a vegetarian on moral grounds, right?  Well, while out to lunch with one of them many years ago, my friend ordered fish.  I promptly reminded her that she didn’t eat food with faces and that fish definitely have faces.  She looked at me as seriously as possible and said, “I’ve looked into a fish’s eyes.  They have no story to tell.  There’s nothing going on up there.  Bring on the tuna.”  This next Call will require that your face tell a story.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Annmarie Sculpture Garden (an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute) for About Face.  The entry fee is only $20 for up to four pieces, and this is an excellent opportunity to put your best face forward.  Take a look!

Download the About Face Prospectus!CALL for ENTRIES:  About Face

About Face explores the artist as storyteller. How does an artist develop and arrange the elements of a good story—character, setting, plot, conflict, climax, and resolution—through the format of a portrait?  Though we all have a story to tell, what is gained or lost when we are rendered through an artist’s point of view?  Do the completed works represent the person we are, the person we strive to be, or the character the artist sees?  How do traditional and new media types affect the impact of a portrait?  To this end, the jury seeks portraits that tell a compelling story in a visually interesting way.

About Face will be installed in the spacious Mezzanine Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden’s Arts Building.  With over 3300 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.  A few outdoor works will also be considered for inclusion in About Face.

Learn more about the Annmarie Arts Center!ELIGIBILITY:  All media types are welcome.  The exhibition is open to all artists age 18 and older working in the U.S.  Video entries must be submitted on DVD, playable on QuickTime or RealPlayer, and no more than 30 minutes in length.
DVD or computer based works must be exhibited on equipment provided by artist. Internet access is available.  Bases and pedestals must well-balanced and sturdy. Annmarie has a limited number of bases available, please inquire.  All frames must be black or silver and simple in design.  All works that will be hung on the wall must have brackets that work with the Arakawa hanging system. More information on this system will be provided upon acceptance.

DEADLINE:  March 1, 2011 is the deadline for your application.

Download the About Face Prospectus!NOTIFICATION:  Artists will be notified of final acceptance status via email by March 7, 2011.

ENTRY FEE:  Artists must submit a $20 non-refundable entry fee for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Each entry must be submitted with three images of the artwork, including one overall view of the artwork, one detail shot, and one installation shot.

ABOUT the ANNMARIE SCULPTURE GARDEN:  An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, Annmarie is a thirty-acre public sculpture garden and arts center located in scenic Solomons, Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay. The sculpture garden features a walking path which meanders through the forest, past permanent and loaned sculpture, including more than thirty works on loan from the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art. The garden also presents a variety of special events, gallery shows, and engaging public art programs. The new Studio School offers creative classes taught by a talented faculty. The award-winning Arts Building, which opened in May ‘08, is a 15,000 sq.ft. museum-grade exhibition space that includes two large galleries, a gift shop, café, and a sunny patio that offers lovely views of the outdoor sculpture.

TASTES BEAUTIFUL!

How something looks affects how it tastes.  I love the look of a plate of roasted brussel sprouts.  With one look I know they promise a earthy grassiness and a nutty comfortable ease that I will relish.  My eleven year old knows with one look that green lumps will not taste good.  Everyone’s a critic.  This Call for Entries offers you a chance to put your best image forward.

Photography by Juror Peter Turnley!CALL FOR ENTRIES:
A True Story

Photography is the medium of memory. With its birth came the pictorial press and the realization that “a picture tells a thousand words.”  This is documentary photography.  It is present and tangible, and we rely on it to be authentic and true.  It teaches us, and when presented in proper context, we believe what we see.  

It is the job of the Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer to present the facts at hand.  It is a challenging job often requiring instant decisions and sometimes in the face of substantial obstacles.  How do we do this succinctly and objectively while providing an engaging and remarkable image or series? 

Is it possible to capture a photographic truth while simultaneously expressing our naturally subjective eye? 

Juror Peter Turnley has proven the task can be successful – have you?

 

Learn more about the Vermont Photo Space Gallery!For A True Story, VPS is looking for the documented event, person, or place, whether political, religious, cultural or environmental. Reality itself is infinitely more complex that what a single image can show, so we encourage your Photo Essay submissions of up to six images (some single images tell the whole thing adequately – these will be considered equally).  As the Photo Essay is so often complimented or even interdependent with text, they will allow up to three sentences to accompany each accepted image for display in the gallery.

Of special note:  VPS is able to accept essays for this exhibition!  So much of the genre appears as photo story, and they are thrilled to offer the opportunity to exhibitors to submit the same.  Whether you are submitting single images or multiples as a story, Juror Peter Turnley will consider your work as it is intended.  Who knows, this exhibition may include a few very lucky photographers who present an outstanding documentary photo story in several images. 

America in Black and White by Juror Peter Turnley!JUROR:  Peter Turnley was educated in French Literature and International Relations, inspiring his truly International work. For the past quarter century, he has been photographing in more than eighty-five countries, capturing world conflict, and several major geo-political moments. 

His portraits of political, cultural, and religious leaders as well as photo essays of a variety of social realities additionally weight his extensive, ever-expanding portfolio.   He has published five books:  “Beijing Spring,” “Moments of Revolution,” “In Times of War and Peace,” “Parisians” and “McClellan Street”. His images have been published in International magazines including Stern, Paris Match, Geo, Life, National Geographic, the London Sunday Times, Le Monde, and Doubletake.

Additionally, Turnley’s photographs have been showcased on the cover of Newsweek magazine over forty timesVPS is thrilled to have his extensive experience as a successful Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer applied to his mission as Juror for “A True Story.”

DIPLOMACY STINKS

It is a happy, shiny New Year, and I am excited about the possibilities.  Per usual, I am optimistic about the future… nauseatingly optimistic, according to my husband Jon.  However, most folks will also tell you that my attitude toward life is often like my taste in food…direct, unapologetic and undiplomatic.  Can food be unapologetic and undiplomatic?  Have you ever met a cheese named Limberger?  That sort of straight forwardness is what drew me to this next Call.
