SHOPPING
in my sleep

Sometimes it seems as though the days of half-hour grocery trips were only a dream, but I know it really happened, right? These days it take at least 90 minutes to read all the labels, pick the lesser of the evils AND search for the best deals. But, I believe in a future that allows me to grow most of my food. Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream. This next Call wants to know how it happens in your dreams. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
This May Have Happened

The power of photography as document or proof is well-demonstrated. Photographic images are often crafted to exist alone, as singular facts.

At the same time, the narrative possibilities of still photography develop from the power of suggestion, the potential of the open-ended scene, the unresolved thrill of the cliff-hanger. The stories that these images suggest may or may not be factual, but their power comes from allowing the audience to bring its own sense of plot and tension to the work. We are looking as much for questions as we are for answers.

Think noir. Think sweeping epic. Think fairy tale. Think cause and effect. Think characters.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all photographic work.

DEADLINE: July 18, 2014

NOTIFICATION: Mid-August

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

CALL for ENTRIES: From Our Perspectives

HOT STUFF
please

My perspective on what makes for the perfect food shifts every few years. Occasionally I get stuck in a phase for a while. I worshiped all things spicy for 5+ years, and now I’ve been stuck on the piquant tang of goat cheese for 10+ years. Taste buds only live about 10 days, so that gives lots of opportunity for a change of taste. This next Call wants a female perspective, but not necessarily on food (although it isn’t excepted). I encourage you to take on some academic shows. How about this one, ladies?

oh my!

My current kitchen kryptonite is the potato. I love them. I love them. I love them. They do not love me. They spike my blood sugar–which is fun, I’ll admit. But the eventual crash off the sugar results in my desire to stuff my face and take a 3-day long nap. I never realized how many I ate until I started trying to reduce my sugar intake. Wish me luck. This next Call will let you expose your own kryptonite, or not. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

Posted on June 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

roses are red
FOOD ISN’T BLUE

I have an aversion to blue foods. Blueberries & blue potatoes are really both fairly purple. Every other blue food I can think of is artificial and always screams, “bio-hazard” at me like blue drinks, candies and frosting. But have you every noticed if you go to a carnival, 5 out of 6 kids have blue rings around their mouths or blue tongues from shaved ice or cotton candy or gummy worms? Is it an age thing? I don’t know. Just don’t try to feed me your entry for this next show and we’ll be all good. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Blue. Low entry ($24) plus a great juror. If you gotta be blue, do it this way…

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let the Darkroom know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends of AAAD, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue

Blue is a favorite color of all people, yet it has more complex and contradictory meanings than any other hue.

Throughout the ages, as the natural world’s color for water and sky, blue lends itself to spiritual and heavenly leanings. In these modern days, blue is embraced as the color of heaven and authority, denim jeans and corporate logos. Most blues convey a sense of trust, loyalty, cleanliness, and understanding. On the other hand, blue evolved as symbol of depression in American culture. “Singing the blues” and feeling blue” are good examples of the complexity of color symbolism and how the color has been evolved in different cultures.

For this show Darkroom Gallery is looking for all types of blue images & meanings. All the variances of the color: electric, royal, baby, periwinkle, azure, midnight, navy, dark and light. We are intrigued by naturally occurring blues and man-made blues alike. Whole images consisting of the color, or the choice sections of a photograph that astutely display the power of blue. — from darkroomgallery.com

Pimento cheese is known as the caviar of the South. It is fundamentally made with American cheese which isn’t actually cheese. So can you make authentic pimento cheese with a faux ingredient?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Faux Real

Though the idea of the ‘real’ has a multitude of meanings, it has been endlessly interpreted by artists and holds particular significance in our ever-changing world.

Artists approach reality and its relationship to representation through numerous types of media and with many distinctive standpoints. The term ‘reality’ has been consistently redefined and broadened to include new realms, like the virtual, the personal, the unscripted, the digital, the hallucinogenic.

Non-Fiction Gallery is looking for works that explore the many facets of the concept of reality.

MIDNIGHT
snack

I’m a night eater. 15 years or so ago, I began having a late-night snack before bedtime–a habit acquired while pregnant. I’ve never been able to shake the late night cookies and chips and cereal. My husband’s theory is that I have to fuel my nocturnal duties that revolve around problem-solving in my sleep. I’ve quit trying to fight it. Now I’m just trying to improve my choices. Cookies and cereal have been slowly replaced by cheese and nuts or citrus fruit. I’m embracing the dark side, and this next exhibit does too. Take a look…

More than two-thirds of Americans live where they can no longer see the Milky Way galaxy because of light pollution. We have grown so isolated from night that in much of our culture it has become alien and fearful.

JURORS: Chicago binder, book & installation artist Karen Hanmer creates intimate, playful works that fragment & layer text and image to intertwine memory, cultural history, and the history of science. Her work weds the ancient act of book binding with the high tech use of the computer to aid her process. The intimate scale and the gestures of exploration required to travel through each piece evoke the experience of looking through an album, a diary, or the belongings of a loved one. However, her works often take the forms of games or puzzles, and many include witty text.

Hanmer exhibits widely, and her work is included in collections ranging from Tate Britain and the Library of Congress to UCLA and Graceland.

CORNY

I cannot escape corn. It is in everything from maltodextrin to corn syrup; you can’t escape. And since 80-90% of that corn is genetically modified, I’m not thrilled. While remodeling a room recently, we were cutting luan (a type of plywood) for a wall application, and what did I smell? Burnt corn. I would bet large sums of money that the glue that holds those layers of veneer together is made with corn. Okay, I’ll stop bitching about corn now. Need to bitch about something?
