CHICK PEAS
not
CHICKEN

My newly-found love of chickpea means… I am going to have to learn how to make felafel. Is it wrong that I’ve always loved felafel street vendors, but I never realized that chickpeas are frequently the primary ingredient? Duh. This next Call honors a street tradition as well. Don’t miss this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from the LH Horton Jr Gallery found on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College (California) for Street Photography. The entry fee is reasonable, and the commission is only 20% on sales. Be inspired…

DIPPIN’
in the
DEEP END

Thanks for your patience this week while I took a little unscheduled hiatus. Sometimes you just have to take a break and reset. We are making some significant changes to our diet—moving toward less meat and dairy. In addition, our musical engagements have picked up; I have art submissions to finish, and let’s not forget…blogs to post. The layers of information I sift through everyday can be overwhelming, and then this Call fell into my lap. So appropriate. Layers and layers and layers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Coup d’espace ‐ Palimpasest from the Washington Project for the Arts, a group show that explores Layers of Information. There is no entry fee, but the deadline is only a couple of weeks away. Don’t delay…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Coup d’espace ‐ Palimpasest

We live in a society of layers. Information is plied upon other information. Metadata automatically becomes part of every digital image. Museum exhibitions now include QR codes for additional information. The recent Experimental Media 2012 exhibition included them. The National Gallery and the Museum of Natural History use them. They are ubiquitous.

But what if the QR code became the contemporary representation of information? What if this encoded symbol displaced the original information? It wouldn’t be the first time that newer “text” has superseded the old. Throughout the history of the written word, parchments and vellum have been scraped clean of their original text and reused. Over time, that original text (the scriptio inferior) resurfaces through natural means or scientific research. An immediate relationship between the original text and new text is constructed through their juxtaposition. –from the Prospectus

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Any medium that explores the concepts of Layering and Information. Artists are encouraged to think beyond just the techniques of layering (i.e., Photoshop).

DEADLINE: Monday, July 16, 5pm EDT

NOTIFICATION: Monday, July 23, 2012

ENTRY FEE: None

CURATOR: Steven H Silberg, independent artist & Lecturer of Fine Arts at UMBC and Neil C Jones, independent artist & Professor at MICA and Anne Arundel Community College.
