REMINDER: Soap Factory Open Call

more eating

There is a point at which loving food turns into a food obsession. I am self-aware enough to know that I have long passed that point.  I cannot simply EAT anything.   Eating requires dissection and discussion before digestion.  Dinner is often cold by the time it is eaten fully.  Likewise, I meet emerging artists simply obsessed with conquering their first solo show.  This next call will require your own dissection and discussion before digestion. Bon appetite…

Check out this Open Call from The Soap Factory (Minneapolis, MN). The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit. Did I mention NO ENTRY FEE?

Dinner is cooked (and eaten) in either undies or pajamas in my house. My husband usually cooks dinner.  Dinner is cooked directly after work.  My husband is a commercial potter.  How are these connected?  My hubby is forced (by me) to get out of his clay embedded clothing in the garage to prevent a gray trail in his wake.  So, he cooks in whatever was under his clothes or pajamas if he makes it that far.  This next call WANTS your clay, but please don’t attend the opening in your undies.  Take a look…
