stuffing

I love  herbs that are not as they seem–lime basil, chocolate mint, and pineapple sage.  I’m planting the herbs in my garden this past weekend, and I am dazzled by the choices at my local farmer’s market.  Pineapple sage may be my favorite find.  Thanksgiving stuffing will never be the same again.  This next call appears to be a call for filmmakers, but things are not always what they seem.  Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware

 

Click to learn more about Mono No Aware!Mono No Aware is an international film event open to any person or group of persons making work that incorporates Super8mm or 16mm film format as part of that presentation. (Expanded Cinema) In previous years, 16mm film was blended with dance performance, Super8 with live spoken word/audience involvement, & multi-projections with live jazz/musical devices. This is not a film festival for film-makers, so much as it is an film event for everyone. They believe there is magic in seeing a film print projected, a presence a poet has when reading their own work, a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing music performed live. For these reasons they encourage live film with live additional audio/visual elements.

ELIGIBILITY: Open internationally. Dancers, Sculptors, Musicians, Theorists, Scientists, Athletes, Visual artists, everyone, AND Film-makers are encouraged to submit.

Click to learn more about Mono No Aware!MEDIA: Entries are only be accepted on Super8 or 16mm film. FILM ONLY. No Digital Video.

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 14, 2012

This event is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc (BAC) and by the participants of MNA filmmaking workshops, KODAK, ADOBE, DIJIFI, and PAC-LAB.

I am fascinated by the influences of one culture on another culture’s food.  Czech cuisine is heavily influenced by Germany and Hungary’s schnitzels, strudels and goulashes.  But the three national foods always found on the menu are vepro, knedlo and zelo (pork, dumplings and cabbage respectively).  This next Call could be a great way to sample these specialties first hand.  Take a look…

Mobile-O-graphy

 

Images made with mobile phones are becoming part of the photographic mainstream.  Made with a phone camera, processed on the phone and even printed from the phone, these images are showing up in exhibitions both as a genre and alongside classic silver gelatin prints.  Show them your latest mobile creations.

What distinguishes mobile device photography from that made with other devices?  Less and Less.  Possibly the fact that you can do it all on one device is unique. Sometimes the images created with mobile devices are more candid. Having a camera with us all the time lets us capture moments that can otherwise escape.  Very quickly mobile phones are becoming just another type of camera taking their place alongside pin hole cameras, toy cameras, point and shoot cameras, SLR cameras etc.  Here, in the gallery, we say it over and over – it’s not the camera – it’s the photographer’s vision and skill that makes a great photograph.  Last year’s mobile phone photography exhibit said it.  They want this year’s exhibit to prove it.

Picnic stereotypes make me laugh so hard that wine shoots from my nose.  My favorite cliche is the romantic hot air balloon ride with wine, cheese and grapes.

At least I can appreciate the balloons from the ground.  This next Call wants to see if you appreciate them too.  Go there…

One of my first real memories of (what I thought was) cooking is inseparable from the music of Helen Reddy.  Yup.  I was standing on a stool, at around age 8, in front of the stove stirring canned corn in a pot singing “I am woman, hear me roar” at the top of my lungs.  Bizarre then.  Bizarre now.  Bizarre always.  This next Call wants an entirely different perspective, I suspect.  We’ve come a long way baby…

Honoring Women’s Rights

Learn more about the Honoring Women's Rights exhbit sponsored by the WCA!

Historically women play a central role in the struggle for Civil Rights, yet their voices and experiences are generally ignored.  We believe their roles should be examined and
interpreted.  We propose an exhibition to visually interpret this struggle, from the local Salinas Valley community to the global level.  By promoting and striving for protection and actualization of women’s rights, we are paving a path for a stronger and fuller civil and personal life. We can join our visual voices together to create authentic recognition, validation and compassion for each other.  We can review our collective history as females, take stock of our present positions and envision our future, knowing what we want to improve, empowering ourselves and those who follow us.  Rise to the challenge given by Hillary Rodham Clinton in her remarks to the U.N. 4th World Conference at the Women Plenary Session, in Beijing, China, Women’s Rights Are Human Rights!

“The great challenge…is to give voice to women everywhere whose experiences go unnoticed, whose words go unheard.”
