I wish food could talk.  Wouldn’t you like to know why one grape in a cluster is sweet and juicy and the next elicits the “pucker” face?  Me too.  I want to know why some pineapples ripen on my counter in a day or two and the next pineapple stubbornly refuses.  I think they would tell me if they could.  This next Call suggests the photographer visually interrogate their subject.  Look out avocados, you’re on my short list…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Mpls Photo Center in Minneapolis, MN for Where in the World? People, Places and Events.  Enter up to 5 photos for $35 and have your work juried by a world-class juror.  Take a look…

Where in the World?

 

Learn more about the MPLS Photo Center!Photography likes to break out of the studio and inhabit the world. Few things artists do are as immediately engaged with the dynamics of life and the environment as photography.  Cameras have been on the bottom of the ocean and on the surface of the moon.  They’ve seen everything, from weddings to wars, and they’ve augmented almost every attempt to understand life and our place in it.  Where in the World: People, Places and Events will bring together a diverse group of photographers that interrogate the individuals, environments, and actions that comprise our universe.

I love Cuban food.  The first time I ate Cuban food was in a strip mall in Goose Creek, SC just outside Charleston …no kidding.  With a strong military influence in the area before the shut down of the military base and the naval yard, international influence on food was pretty common.  The best Cuban food I ever tasted was in Miami and is responsible for my love affair with plaintains.  This next Call offers you an opportunity to sample some of the best food in the world during your time at this opening…

I love salt water taffy.  I love the taste and the colors and the main street feel of the shops that allow you to look on as the taffy is hand-crafted.  Funny enough, most of the towns that conjure images of salt water taffy for me are no where near the coast.  Odd.  I wonder if the town from which this next Call hails has a salt water taffy shop?  If you get into the show, let me know.

NUTS for YOU!

I believe that food has a sense of place.  When you eat cotton candy, don’t you think of going to the fair?  When I taste boiled peanuts (Yes, Virginia, they do exist), I am instantly transported to South Carolina.  You have associations of your own, no doubt. This Call is named Sense of Place, but it isn’t a theme.  Maybe it comes from the enormous sense of place felt even through photographs of this beautiful gallery space.  Inspired yet?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art in Augusta, GA for the 2011 National Juried Exhbition: A Sense of Place.  The entry fee is low, and once again, the juror is well-documented and happens to be a printmaker, although many media are embraced.  This looks like a winner…
