EVERY POT

One of the most valuable lessons of culinary school was stock-making. It is the building block of many of my kitchen masterpieces. My standard includes chicken, water, celery, carrot, onion, black peppercorns, garlic & parsley. When I stray from the standards, it is a choice. I encourage you to make a choice to enter this next Call that celebrates the preservation of a standard upon those that have strayed have built. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 20x20x20 Compact

Posted on January 12, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

just a
LITTLE BITE

Smaller isn’t always the same. Every member of my household is an avid label reader due to food allergies. One of the most important lessons we have learned is that miniature and compact versions of foods are not necessarily the same, nutritionally speaking. I find miniatures of candy bars are often sweeter due to a different ratio of ingredients than the originals. Sometimes, they add thickeners or starches to help them better hold their more compact shape as well. Be careful. This next show is all about the VIRTUES of being compact. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Feminist Sex

Posted on January 11, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

WIENERS,
anyone?

How did operating a grill become a feminist issue? I can’t tell you how many female friends I have that defer grilling activities to the men in their lives under the guise of not knowing “how to do it”. Really? Amongst this group of women who are financiers, scientists, diplomats & artists, no one can operate a grill? Please. Maybe they are just faking it, like me, to avoid the additional work occasionally. *Shhh* This next Call has NOTHING to do with the grilling of meat and EVERYTHING to do with feminism. Take a look…

TRUTH

Iowa = Corn. I have no doubt Iowans are justifiably proud of their corn. But, I could not BELIEVE they reintroduced my favorite food with a twist –Caprese Salad on a Stick. The Iowa State Fair debuted this genius idea in 2014. How did I miss this one? I ended up using it at my own art opening less than a month later. This next Call is another reasons Iowans should be proud. Investigate this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Flowers, Plants & Gardens

Posted on December 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sweet or
SOUR?

I dream of lemons & olives–and corn, of course. While dreaming of my future garden, I am excited at the prospect of growing non-GMO corn. But, I also have fantasies of the produce I love most like lemons and olives, neither of which is native to my climate. Is it just enormous hubris on my part to believe that if I try to grow them in a walipini that they will automatically surpass the quality of the native-grown varieties that I buy after their long trip to my local grocery store? What is it about humans that makes us want to manipulate plants? This next Call wants to see how you successfully manipulate plants in your art. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Sketchbook Project

Posted on December 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HERRING
pickled, not red

My pantry is a library of food fads and favorites. You’ll find canned tomatoes from my mother (necessary to all of my favorite dishes) and high-fat coconut milk (necessary to all quiet indulgences). Then there is the the fruit cocktail, quince marmalade, pickled herring, kimchi, a jar of black lime & a few dried apricots left over from some food obsession or experiment that either went awry or with which I got bored. I can’t bring myself to get rid of the non-expired food no matter how random because they occasionally inspire genius. This next Call displays the beauty of collecting and sometimes inspires genius. This is a beautiful idea…

CALL for ENTRIES: Chronograph

Posted on December 7, 2014December 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

cold or
FROZEN?

To freeze or not to freeze– THAT is the question. I tend to cook in large quantities. I do it on purpose to provide additional dinners, but mostly lunches, with the same amount of effort it took to make dinner. The problem is that not all food freezes well. Chili is great reheated after being frozen for a week, but potato soup becomes paste after only a day in the freezer. Casseroles take on a luscious, unctuous quality while mushrooms turn to rubber. This next Call want you to freeze TIME, for better or for worse. Brilliant. Are you up for the challenge?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Chronograph. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. But, I have a soft spot for this theme. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Chronograph

“Photography is a medium renowned for freezing time. However, there are many facets and dichotomies this theme of chronology can visually explore. Darkroom Gallery is calling for explorative visual depictions of time. Pasts and futures can often collide…and what of time travelers and quantum physics? Lastly, photographs can be truly devoid of time, they can have a sort of classic “timelessness”. “ — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

THEME: Time-oriented photography; vintage, futuristic or rhythmic imagery.

DEADLINE: December 28, 2014

NOTIFICATION: January 4, 2015

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 (online)/$29 (email)

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