The spirit of culinary improvisation is alive and well at my house.  Exact ingredients are unheard of, and trips to the grocery store are always necessary.  Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and red wine vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar will do in a pinch.  We’ll see how the enchiladas turn out tonight, ha.  This next Call is for a show located in the heart of improvisation, and I love the theme too.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Surrealist Influence on Contemporary Photography being curated by Lanie McCormick for The Hideout Theatre in Austin, TX.  I’ve worked with Lanie in Austin before at the Austin Figurative Gallery, and she brings a refreshing curatorial vision.  Don’t miss this “no entry fee” opportunity…

Learn more about The Surrealist Influence show in Austin at The Hideout Theatre!“Surrealism started out as a philosophical movement in the 1920s.  The Manifesto, written by André Breton laid out the goals of the surrealist group which was comprised of writers, philosophers and artists.  Freud was a huge influence on the movement with his practice of interpreting the meaning of dreams.  That idea played out visually amongst the group which left us with rich visual oddities from artists such as Dali, Magritte, Ernst, Miro and Man Ray.   

“I feel the surrealist artists impacted my own methods of creating, and encouraged me to look within to find a deeper significance with my art.  Now  I am looking for other photographers who have followed a similar path and others who have felt a kindred connection to the surrealist artists or movement.” –Lanie McCormick, Curator
