CALL for ENTRIES: Below the Surface

Posted on May 21, 2018May 21, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

slow BURN

Four days out of seven find my family eating spicy foods. Before I quit smoking five years ago, I suspected my tolerance for spicy food came from my deadened taste buds. But after years as a non-smoker, we eat more hot food, not less. However, I’m not usually a fan of overtly fiery foods; I prefer the slow burn that simmers just below the surface. I frequently start dinner thinking “this needed more heat” and end the meal with a flush having creeped up my scalp. This next Call wants to know what is layered just below the surface of your work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from 440 Gallery (Brooklyn, NY) for Below the Surface, a juried exhibition, Brooklyn, NY, July 5 – July 29, 2018. Most of create work that is layered either literally or metaphorically, so this curatorial theme might work for you…

elbow (TABLE) room

I’ve got a touch of cabin fever. Comfort food & a cozy cabin is warm and inviting for a while, but then I have to get out –out of doors, out of the food rut. Just out. I am itching for vegetables grown in wide open spaces, spaces local and regional, not flown over oceans. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Until then, this Wide Open Call will keep me content. This an inspiring space & may be a great opportunity for you…

REMINDER: Mono No Aware

A CLEAN
start

I am moving temporarily. In addition to being musicians, my husband and I renovate houses for resale; however, we haven’t owned our own home in about 10 years. We have finally decided to buy or build. But in the meantime, our current rental has turned into a haven for mold & mildew. So, we’re starting fresh in a new, smaller house (& smaller kitchen). It would be so much easier if someone would just find and renovate a house for me for free, eh? I am always the dreamer. But, this next Call really IS FREE, and it isn’t a dream. This isn’t just for filmmakers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware. This is a really cool FREE way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

OPEN CALL: Musically Inspired

musical
MOUSSE
muse

My husband sings in the kitchen. It isn’t one specific tune; it is usually whatever he last heard. I don’t know how he doesn’t find it distracting. I need concentration and quiet to make sure my mousse doesn’t burn. I just do. I don’t often listen to music while I produce art either. Puzzling. This next Call is musically inspired; maybe I should experiment. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Galerie Project (Brooklyn, NY) for an Open Call for musically-inspired art. This is an inexpensive way to get an NY show. Investigate this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illegitimate & Herstorical

Posted on June 2, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

TWIGS for your TEETH

I love non-traditional foods and flavors. I recently took a guided hike with A Walk in the Woods where we tasted everything from spicebush (pictured left) to nature’s toothbrush, the birch twig. But, I suppose most non-traditional foods are not non-traditional to someone somewhere. It is all a matter of perspective. This Call for Entries is part of an on-going effort on the part of the gallery to use non-traditional curators. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, NY for Illegitimate & Herstorical. Enter artwork of any media for $30 for FOUR images by June 15, 2011. Take a chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illegitimate & Herstorical

This is the 2nd Annual CURRENTS exhibition, a program where A.I.R. invites non-traditional curators (artists, activists, writers, poets) to select works to be exhibited within theme designed as a collaboration between the curator and the gallery. This year’s theme is Illegitimate & Herstorical: an exhibit on alternatives in art, love, power, knowledge and community.

Each year the CURRENTS exhibit addresses an issue that warrants expanded critical attention in the art world. The exhibit will be located in A.I.R.’s Gallery I space from January 4th – January 28th, 2012.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all women and transgender artists.

MEDIA: Open to all media.

ENTRY FEE: $30 for 4 images, $5 for each additional image. *Editor’s Note: A.I.R will waive the entry fee for applicants that contact the gallery ahead of time and express that due to a difficult financial situation the entry fee is prohibitive. Artists will not be turned away for this reason. Please note that as A.I.R is an artist-run not-for-profit-gallery application fees are necessary to fund this exhibition and other projects. Please only request fee waiver if it is really necessary.
