CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Undisturbed

Posted on January 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

I AM A TOMATO HUGGER

I never used to be an activist for the environment. I’m not against all things eco-friendly, I’ve just been too lazy over the years. However, when I moved to the Great Smoky Mountains, that all changed. Nature is in my face here, and I can’t help but be concerned about my effect on the very nature that made me want to live here. So, I buy produce locally–the apple and tomatoes are phenomenal, and I try to reduce, reuse and/or recycle a little bit every day because some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries will help you do a little something to help as well.

Check out this Call for Entries from Dogwood Gallery for the third showing of Nature, Undisturbed. Here’s a chance to show your work and help out nature conservation at the same time. Bonus…last year they sold a significant portion of the work! Take a look…

Perhaps you happen to take along a camera to capture the light through the leaves and continue to enjoy that day each time you view the photo.

This is the show that brings the outside in for all to enjoy.

The exhibition will showcase the simple, yet majestic, beauty of nature, wildlife, and our local landscapes.

CALL for ENTRIES: A True Story

Posted on January 5, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BLESSED PEEPS

Some foods cannot be separated from a holiday or family event. Turkey and Thanksgiving for example… the image of turkey conjures family-friendly Rockwell-esque scenes for me even though Idon’t eat turkey for Thanksgiving. And Peeps® scream Easter to me…always. It doesn’t matter if you dress them in cocoa powder and shape them like bats for Halloween, I am still gonna wonder if you’ve had them left over since Spring. This next Call gives you an opportunity to tell your own story… paint your own scene, if you will. Luckily, you aren’t restricted to food…

Check out this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called A True Story. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
A True Story

Photography is the medium of memory. With its birth came the pictorial press and the realization that “a picture tells a thousand words.” This is documentary photography. It is present and tangible, and we rely on it to be authentic and true. It teaches us, and when presented in proper context, we believe what we see.

It is the job of the Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer to present the facts at hand. It is a challenging job often requiring instant decisions and sometimes in the face of substantial obstacles. How do we do this succinctly and objectively while providing an engaging and remarkable image or series?

Is it possible to capture a photographic truth while simultaneously expressing our naturally subjective eye?

Juror Peter Turnley has proven the task can be successful – have you?

For A True Story, VPS is looking for the documented event, person, or place, whether political, religious, cultural or environmental. Reality itself is infinitely more complex that what a single image can show, so we encourage your Photo Essay submissions of up to six images (some single images tell the whole thing adequately – these will be considered equally). As the Photo Essay is so often complimented or even interdependent with text, they will allow up to three sentences to accompany each accepted image for display in the gallery.

Of special note: VPS is able to accept essays for this exhibition! So much of the genre appears as photo story, and they are thrilled to offer the opportunity to exhibitors to submit the same. Whether you are submitting single images or multiples as a story, Juror Peter Turnley will consider your work as it is intended. Who knows, this exhibition may include a few very lucky photographers who present an outstanding documentary photo story in several images.

JUROR: Peter Turnley was educated in French Literature and International Relations, inspiring his truly International work. For the past quarter century, he has been photographing in more than eighty-five countries, capturing world conflict, and several major geo-political moments.

His portraits of political, cultural, and religious leaders as well as photo essays of a variety of social realities additionally weight his extensive, ever-expanding portfolio. He has published five books: “Beijing Spring,” “Moments of Revolution,” “In Times of War and Peace,” “Parisians” and “McClellan Street”. His images have been published in International magazines including Stern, Paris Match, Geo, Life, National Geographic, the London Sunday Times, Le Monde, and Doubletake.

Additionally, Turnley’s photographs have been showcased on the cover of Newsweek magazine over forty times. VPS is thrilled to have his extensive experience as a successful Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer applied to his mission as Juror for “A True Story.”

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Light Work

Posted on January 3, 2011January 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GRASPING at
STRAWBERRIES

I am not a morning person; however, I do so much love breakfast foods. Eggs Benedict, yum. Fluffy biscuits, pumpkin pancakes, fresh strawberries. Somethings are worth getting up a little earlier in the morning; however, I have decided breakfast food is fair game anytime of the day instead. Do not be encouraged to follow my bad example…make sure to apply early to this next Call.

Check out this Call for Applications for an Artist Residency at Light Work housed in Syracuse University. You have all year to apply, but I encourage you to get your application submitted to the Light Work AIR Program early. Take a look…

ARTIST RESIDENCY: Light Work

Every year Light Work invites between twelve and fifteen artists to come to Syracuse to devote one month to creative projects. Over 350 artists have participated in the AIR program, and many of them have gone on to achieve international acclaim.

The residency includes a $4,000 stipend, a furnished artist apartment, 24-hour access to our state-of-the-art facilities, and generous staff support. Work by each Artist-in-Residence is published in a special edition of Contact Sheet: The Light Work Annual along with an essay commissioned by Light Work. Work by former Artists-in-Residence is also part of the Light Work Collection.

DEADLINE: Applications to the Artist-in-Residence Program are accepted throughout the year.

ABOUT LIGHT WORK: Light Work was founded as an artist-run, non-profit organization in 1973. Its mission is to provide direct support through residencies, publications, exhibitions, a community-access digital lab facility, and other related projects to emerging and under-represented artists working in the media of photography and digital imaging.

Light Work’s founding directors were Phil Block and Tom Bryan. The organization has been led by Jeffrey Hoone since 1982. Light Work is housed in the Robert B. Menschel Media Center at Syracuse University.

Please see the How to Apply section for details.

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life Photography

Posted on December 21, 2010December 21, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

TIE A STRING
AROUND YOUR FINGER

I always remember the thing I needed from the grocery store about 10 minutes after I leave the grocery store. I used to put Post-it® notes everywhere. That didn’t work. I tried pre-printing lists with check-off boxes. That didn’t work. Now I send myself a text message with the essentials and an alarm for the time I plan on going to the grocery store. Sad, but true. Consider this your official text message for The Arrangement.

The deadline for entry in The Arrangement at Vermont Photo Space Gallery is Wednesday, December 22nd at Midnight EST. You can email your entries and pay via PayPal so there are no excuses folks. I know you don’t like it when I repost, but this is a great opportunity, and I don’t want you to wish you had bought milk 10 minutes after you leave the grocery store. So, here is the original posting…

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.

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.

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.

JUROR: 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.

RULES FOR PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry.

CALL for ENTRIES: Picturing Life as a Woman

Posted on December 7, 2010December 7, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

POTATO SPLAT

History has never been my favorite subject. However, I recognize how important a sense of history is in our everyday lives. Everytime I make potato pancakes …and inevitably burn, mangle or drop them …I smile knowing Julia Child got there before me. This next Call gives you a reason and purpose to reflect upon your history…at least about half of you.

Check out this Call for Entries from the MPLS Photo Center for Picturing Life as a Woman. Submissions are limited only by your imagination. With the holidays rapidly approaching, our lives are ripe with subject matter. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Picturing Life as a Woman

Women have been actively involved with photography since the medium’s inception in 1839. The barriers to their participation were lower than in the other arts, and recognition often came faster. Yet women and their photographs have not been as visible as they should have been in view of their numbers and past influence. Only in fairly recent exhibitions and critical writings have women’s work in photography received due consideration.

Diane Arbus, Roni Horn, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith and thousands more women use their cameras as instruments of revelation – often about themselves. In the process they challenge assumptions about what it means to be and be seen.

ELIGIBILITY: This International Call for Entry invites women from around the world to submit photographs that demonstrate a smart, critical take on women with cameras in this day of a more open and subtle notion of gendered identity.

Submissions are only limited by your imagination and may cover a broad range of challenging, personal, emotional, and political issues facing women today. Their work-life, home, family, friends, relationships, life partners, homosexual, heterosexual, politics, equal rights, stereotypes, causes, roles and wishes.

DEADLINE: January 24th, 2011

NOTIFICATION: January 30th, 2011

ENTRY FEE: $35 for the first 5 images, $10 each additional

AWARDS: First Place – $400, Second Place – $300, Third Place – $200, Honorable Mentions(3) – $100

JUROR: Christina Chang, Assistant Curator, Wiesman Art Museum

CALL for ENTRIES: Human Artifact

Posted on November 30, 2010November 29, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

FREEZE OUT!

People are often intrigued by my refrigerator …they always want a glimpse inside. I am equally fascinated by the food preferences of other foodies, but I would never ask to see inside their cupboards or refrigerators. That would be like asking a stranger on the sidewalk to strip naked. You don’t need to know that I store raw meats above vegetables, that I secretly love sardines in mustard sauce and don’t make my own marinara. This next Call will help you mind your own business …wink, wink, nod, nod.

It will come as no surprise that this Call for Entries from Vermont Photo Space Gallery called Human Artifact conjures images cabinets full of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce and exotic spices crammed into food-splattered cabines for me. But I trust that your human artifacts will prove far more interesting than what’s for dinner. Don’t forget Vermont Photo Space offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Human Artifact

We create spectacle of our personal environments as an extension of our selves, our souls. We are also compelled to photograph the object-evidence of these lives lived.

Have you captured images of the human artifact? Images that show the spaces and things that outfit our personal or private lives? Vermont Photo Space Gallery wants to see these images:

Images that illustrate the personality, pastime, position of an individual through their things. A trophy wall, taxidermy collection, corner shrine, garden retreat. A bottle collection, bowl of matchbooks, box of love letters.

The messages we write on walls, carve in trees, mark on the door frame, post in the tree house… From backyard junkyards, to attic hideouts and basement retreats, we mark our territories with the stuff, the evidence, of our lives.

Whether you are documenting the neighbor’s chattels or the abandoned remains of a home left behind, Vermont Photo Space and Juror Dave Jordano are looking for images that evidence human artifact.

The photographic documentation of personal object is as old as the medium itself and it has become a contemporary obsession for some. Roger Ballen, Eugene Richards, William Eggleston, Takashi Homma and Juror, Dave Jordano are among the ranks of photographers documenting human artifact. The subject matter is a collision of cultural anthropology, pop culture, domesticity, documentary, realism and perhaps sentimentality. By photographically documenting personal relic we prove the universality of the personal, we find connections and we share intimacies.

JUROR: Dave Jordano received a BFA in Photography from the College of Creative Studies in 1974. Since 1977 he has been working as a professional commercial Photographer from his studio in Chicago, Illinois. It is his fine art imagery that will compel you to submit your work for jury into “Human Artifact.”

Jordano has been recording cultural and societal identities extensively through Fellowship and as Curator’s Choice (Houston Center for Photography), Critical Mass finalist, Wright State University sponsorship recipient, and Chicago Cultural Center exhibitor.

Twice published, his work is also found in private, corporate and museum collections, including in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, and the Mary & Leigh Block Museum of Art in Evanston, Illinois. Jordano continues an extensive investment into the documentary series “Prairieland”, focusing on rural Illinois.

RULES FOR
PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

Ownership: All submitted photos must have been taken by the photographer making the entry.
