CALL for ENTRIES: Trash

Posted on August 18, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TRASH
or treats?

I’ve gotta figure out how to make composting work in my life.

I’m told there are simple guidelines and compact systems commercially available. This next Call may not e interested in your food scraps, but they DO want your trash. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Ojai Art Festival (Ojai, CA) for Discarted. I love trash art shows, and the cash awards range from $500 to $1500. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Paint

Posted on August 17, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TO OLIVE
or not to olive

Olive oil flows freely in my kitchen. I use it in everything from the obvious, sauteed mushrooms and onions, to baking and sweet treats like peanut butter cookies and brownies. Olive oil when combined with onions, celery and carrots become the foundation for almost every savory dish that exits my kitchen. It is the basis upon which everything else is built. Many feel that paint occupies that same space in the arts. This next Call wants your view on the media…

GLASS HOUSES

In the end, glassware is always the workhorse in my kitchen. From ramekins and measuring cups for ingredients, mixing bowls for pastry, lasagna and pie pans for casseroles and quiches. And, I’ll admit that the cooler they look, the more likely they are to end up in my cabinet. This next Call is the way to have your artwork in the cabinets around the world. Take a look…

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch.

GOURMET

I had another Jetsons dream. This one involved me in my futuristic kitchen that was equipped with completely mobile gadgetry. I could sit or stand in one place and everything would come to me as I needed it just by thinking it. Is it telling that I even dream about my own laziness? Maybe instead of my laziness, it was just a premonition of a design for this next Call. So cool…

So I’m a little shy about my food knowledge. My friends, readers and even my family ask food questions all the time with the assumption that I will know the answers because I write about food everyday. And, if you need to know how to boil the perfect egg, I’m your woman. But, I can’t tell you the flavor profile of every fruit, veggie and meat on the planet because I haven’t tried them ALL. I’m working on it though. In the meantime, when asked a question to which I don’t have an answer. I just shyly beg off the subject. Don’t be shy about this next opportunity…

table for 3500
PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers. One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director. I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500). Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years. I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities. Really. This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer. Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Aferro (Newark, NJ) and RBH Group for Activate: Market Street. This is a very inexpensive ($5 US) opportunity to truly get public art exposure. So cool…

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

Posted on July 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

VOLUMES
of food

I have drafted a dozen cookbooks in my head. They are usually inspired by whatever food eccentricity I am dwelling on at the moment. But they always have their roots in momentary excitement as opposed to being deep-rooted in a true philosophy about food. Maybe if I ever find myself, a cookbook will make it out of the draft stage. In the meantime, my roots will have to be of the vegetable variety. This next Call want to explore YOUR feelings on roots, or the lack thereof…

Check out this Call for Entries from DRAFTspace (NY, NY) for Rootlessness, a two-part themed exhibit. Selected artists will exhibit their solo exhibitions in the street-level pop-up space on Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side gallery district. This is a great chance for that New York opening you’ve always wanted…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

The exhibition series will consist of two sections – Works on Paper and Works on Space – and one exhibition proposal for each section will be chosen and realized on New York’s Lower East Side.

NY has historically been home to ethnically diverse immigrants, inspiring feelings and experiences related to migration, temporality, transformation, assimilation, or conflict. DRAFTspace is hosting this exhibition series to provoke attention and discussion about this sense of rootlessness. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively.

The theme of rootlessness is connected to the unique space setup and location. The exhibit will not be held in a permanent gallery space. Instead, it will temporarily occupy a street-level vacant retail space that will be consecutively transformed to fit the different identity and characteristics of each exhibition.

The Lower East Side where this event will take place has long been an immigrant neighborhood and has seen a series of immigrant communities pass through it. The area has undergone gentrification, starting in the mid-2000s and has since become home to upscale boutiques and numerous contemporary art galleries.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, or Illustration for “Works on Paper” section OR Sculpture or Site-Specific Mixed Media Installations for “Works on Space” section

DEADLINE: August 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 per entry for up to 10 images

AWARDS: $500 Cash Prize & Solo Exhibition. The artist of each selected proposal will receive a $500 cash prize and his or her solo exhibition proposal will be realized.

I’ve been enjoying a Summer of barbeque–tomato-based, mostly, with a dry rub here and there. But, I kind of miss the mustard-based BBQ of South Carolina. And on the even more rare occasion, my thoughts turn to vinegar-based BBQ of North Carolina. It is a lighter, tangy taste than the heavy, pass-the-antacid variety common to most of the South. If you go to the opening for this next Call in NC, be sure to try it. Take a look…
