BUFFALO…in brief.

This show will include a range of artists who make art which explores sexual identity, evolutions in biological reproduction and art which is sometimes informed by an awareness of gender based craft and traditions.

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstractions

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!POETIC PIZZA

Abstraction is defined as the process or result of generalization.  In my house, the dinner discussion goes a little like this: “What do you want for dinner?” Which is often followed by “I don’t know.  What do you want for dinner?”  Which is then further followed by: ” Well, I know I don’t want pizza.”  By the way, this abstract dinner notion of I-don’t-know-but-I-don’t-want-that, usually ends in pizza for dinner.  Poetic, eh?  Here’s a way to have a more productive abstract notion…

Check out this Call for Entries called True Poetry: Abstractions from the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago. I’ve shown at Woman Made before, and I always admire the curatorial eye of their jurors. The fee is reasonable, and you know I love a theme. Take a closer look…

Wave After Wave by Juror Sandra PerlowCALL for ENTRIES:
True Poetry: Abstractions

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. 

Western art was, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the nineteenth century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality.

Visit the Woman Made Gallery!The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy.

The sources from which individual artists drew their arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.

Visit the Woman Made Gallery!Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete.

Abstraction exists along a continuum.

Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract, at least theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly elusive.

Time Turned by Juror Sandra PerlowArtwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable. In geometric abstraction, for instance, one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities.

Figurative art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and representational (or realistic) art often contains partial abstraction.  Both Geometric abstraction and Lyrical Abstraction are often totally abstract.  Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction would be for instance fauvism in which color is conspicuously and deliberately altered vis-a-vis reality, and cubism, which blatantly alters the forms of the real life entities depicted.

MEDIA: Open to two- and three-dimensional semi-abstract, non-objective to pure abstract works in all media by women artists from the international community.

SUBMISSION ONLINE:Submit jpgs of up to three of your works on their website. Please include an artist statement and a $30 entry fee.

While Walking by Juror Sandra PerlowJUROR: Sandra Perlow is a prolific artist interested in abstraction and pictorial space. She earned her BA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and an MA from the Illinois Institute of Design.

Perlow has shown her work internationally, including at Linda Warren Gallery, Harper College, Jean Albano Gallery, and the Rockford Art Museum. She is an active contributor to WMG and serves on its Advisory Board.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Arrangement

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by email!GUILTY PLEASURE

I frequently joke that I would eat anything that won’t run from me.  (Maybe I just need a pair of these Waffle Sneakers from BBC.)  But I must admit that how food is presented, it’s arrangement, if you will, makes a huge difference.  I love petite little bites that cause me guilt because I know that I am disturbing a masterpiece.  Speaking of masterpieces…

It will come as no surprise that this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called The Arrangement conjures of the exquisite fusion of food and art…the art of presentation.  Yes, I am that obsessed with food.  But I know you will dig deeper for your own “Arrangement”…don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Arrangement 

The tradition of still-life as subject matter has roots deep into the history of art, pre-dating photography as a medium by centuries. 

Image by Ken Signorello - Read the full Call for Entries!Fine artists in all mediums, photography included, benefited from the total control they had over the final piece; the art making began with their arrangements of the mostly inanimate objects they intended to represent.  As Vermont Photo Space Gallery owner Ken Signorello aptly points out, “…it is art squared, where one first creates a work of art and then another to preserve it.”

The history of still life in Photography is as old as the medium itself.  Henry Talbot himself produced the first photographic images using the inanimate objects of still life.  In its earliest days, utilizing still life as subject matter allowed for the lengthy exposures necessary for its initial technologies. 

Learn more about the Vermont Photo Space Gallery!In the early 1900s, studies in line and form of object contributed to popular abstractions.  In the 1950s, still-life concentrated on the kitsch, and re-emerged in the 90s after a few decades in obscurity, in perfect partnership with the new trendy super-saturated film stock.  Overall, the genre has been largely ignored, despite periodic bouts of influence – surprising, for a photographic practice with so much potential. 

What is still life today? 

Vermont Photo Space wants you to show them your arrangements, from advertising to record photography, the abstract to the obvious.  Whether you are an amateur or professional, you may have experienced your still-life photographs as some of your favorite images – Juror Paula Tognarelli wants to see them.

Image by Juror Paula TognarelliJUROR:  Paula Tognarelli is the Executive Director and Curator of the Griffin Museum of Photography. The Griffin Museum of Photography’s mission is to promote an appreciation of photographic art and a broader understanding of its visual, emotional and social impact.

Tognarelli holds a M.S. in Arts Administration from Boston University; is a graduate of the New England School of Photography (Applied Program) and is a current candidate for her Masters in Education at Lesley University as a visual arts teacher.

Paula describes her photography as her native language. “I’ve always been more visual than vocal. I could draw a picture much faster than I could articulate a story in words. Photography made dialogue that much easier for me.” 

Tognarelli is also a digital imaging specialist. She has done extensive postgraduate study in color management, color theory, digital photography and digital imaging processing. She has lectured on digital imaging throughout the United States and in Japan, representing Agfa and Polaroid Graphic Imaging. She has also been a speaker at the Seybold Conferences. She is a former member of the Xerox Technical Advisory Board. Paula was named by Printing Impressions magazine as one of twelve women who made a major contribution to the Graphic Arts/ Imaging industry.
