Posted on December 12, 2013December 12, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

sweet
AVOCADO?

My culinary specialty is making meals out of whatever I happen to find in the cabinets and making it seem purposeful. Sure, I can make chocolate mousse out of an avocado, cocoa and honey. Yes, I can make brownies out of black beans and chocolate chips. Not everything comes with the perfect ingredients. And, while most folks won’t think the kit from this Call is perfect to create a masterpiece, you’ll have all the ingredients; just make it work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mystery Build 2014. This year’s theme is “Build a Dream”. We are so proud that our Featured Artist Amy Kollar Anderson won the People’s Choice Award for the 2013 Mystery Build. Which one of you is going to win an award for 2014? Investigate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Alternative Approach

Koolaid
COCOA

Feeling too lazy to make it from scratch, I decided to BUY a ready-made mix for hot chocolate last week. Then I read the label. Damn the labels. I just cannot knowingly consume another artificial sweetener. Acesulfame Potassium is in almost every mix out there–even the non-diet ones. So, I went home and pulled out my recipe. It has 4 ingredients: milk, cocoa, sugar & vanilla. So, even feeling lazy, I was better off taking the alternative approach. Just like this next call…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Alternative Approach from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and if you do this type of work, this is a fantastic opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Alternative
Approach

Alternative process photography today is a blend of contemporary ideas and historical techniques. Many photographers have rediscovered some of the forgotten early processes, bringing a unique style to present-day image making. Incorporating these processes into their work involves both skilled craftsmanship and a creative blending of new and old. For our third annual alternative process exhibition, The Alternative Approach, The Kiernan Gallery seeks photographers who use handmade and historic photographic techniques in their work. 19th century photographic processes dominate this genre.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Alternative Photography including, but not limited to: Albumen, Cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown, Platinum/Palladium, Gum Bichromate, Bromoil, Salt Print, Wet-plate Collodion, Image Transfer and Ziatype.

DEADLINE:
December 20, 2013

NOTIFICATION:
Approx. 8 days later

ENTRY FEE:
5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Christopher James is an internationally known artist and photographer whose photographs, paintings, and alternative process images have been exhibited in galleries and museums in this country and abroad. His work has been published and shown extensively, including exhibitions in The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The George Eastman House, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The first two editions of his book, The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes (Delmar Cengage -Albany, NY), have received international critical acclaim and are universally recognized by artists, curators, historians, and educators as the definitive texts in the genre of alternative process photography and photographically integrated media and culture. A significantly expanded 850 page, 600 image, 3rd edition will be published in 2013.

Christopher, after 13 years at Harvard University, is presently University Professor, and Director of the MFA in Photography program at The College of Art and Design – Lesley University. He is also a painter, graphic designer, and a professional scuba diver.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works.

The Kiernan Gallery DOES still have incentive to sell your work. The gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Legends

Posted on December 10, 2013December 10, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TURKEY
lurkey

I don’t eat turkey on holidays. I’ve never liked the pressure of culinary conformity, or any other kind for that matter. I usually have ham or duck. Interestingly enough, I cooked a turkey the week before Thanksgiving this year because they were on sale. But, all of the stories of people burning their houses down while attempting to deep fry their turkey don’t make me want to try that method. I realize those stories are exaggerated to almost urban legend status, but I am simply not enticed. I AM enticed by this next Call focused on urban legends though…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for Common Knowledge, and exhibit exploring proverbial sayings, urban legends, folklore and catchphrases. AND, the entry fee is only $20…

FOOD

FOOD

Can we talk about food porn? I think no one will be shocked to hear that I post pictures of my food to social media. Yes, I am one of those people. But what I want to know is why most people highly filter their pics. You don’t OWE it to the restaurant to make their food look better than it is. So, are you taking pictures of your food to document a beautiful meal or fun experience? OR, are you just trying to “one up” your friends? Maybe food pics should just be representational of what your really see before you–kind of like this next call…

TASTING

My kitchen is neutral; my art is black and white; but, my food is colorful. I’ll pick beets over green beans for color. I’ll take green beans over cauliflower for color. The more saturated the color, the tastier the meal–in my experience. This next Call wants your tastiest morsels of color. Take a look…

REMINDER: Documentary

Posted on December 6, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

OOPS

Am I the only one that is grateful no one documents their cooking methods? Because I enjoy experimenting with food and cooking, things often go a little off course. When the milk you meant to scald curdles, and the onions you meant to caramelize burn and the pie crust meant to be flaky really just crumbles…well, it is good not to have a record of it sometimes. This next Call is looking for your take on documentary, and it doesn’t have to be your cooking. Take a look…

SUGAR

AGAVE
oh my

I am not a naturally-talented baker. I can create savory dishes all day, but the precision required for baking is a trying experience for me. I have been experimenting with a peanut butter cookie recipe for days. It only has 4 ingredients, and I have still made it no less than 12 times to get it exactly right. My family is tolerant of baking experiments, but not every audience is as forgiving. This next Call is specifically looking for your experiments, but don’t send peanut butter cookies. Bribery is frowned upon…

OPEN CALL: Solo Project House

Posted on December 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DINNER
for one

I prefer not to eat alone. It isn’t due to all the ridiculous social stigma attached because I dislike eating alone even at home. When I eat alone, I tend to get sucked into the idea of a gourmet meal which sounds fantastic but takes forever. In the middle of cooking, I break down and eat a “snack” (often the size of a meal) thereby insuring I won’t be hungry by the time dinner is ready to be eaten. I may not like to eat alone, but this next Call is for your work–all alone. And, let’s face it, we all like to SHOW alone…

THE COOKIE

I have been meaning to make cookies all week. I have this great recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies made with chickpeas instead of traditional wheat flour. They are fantastic; however, every time I start to make them, I don’t quite have enough large chocolate chips. Everyone in my house grabs a small handful on their way through the kitchen. I suppose somethings are best all on their own. This next Call might give YOU the chance to be on your own. Investigate…
