Grocery store sushi. Regardless of how you feel about sushi, I think the common reaction to the grocery store variety is a twinge of fright.  But, be brave…sometimes it is great.  Uncommonly good things can sometimes be found in uncommon locations.  This next call offers a delightful opportunity to show art in a common location as a part of an uncommon gathering. Yummy…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Games+Learning+Society

8th annual Games Learning Society (GLS) conference!“This is a general call for new work (completed in the last two years) or proposals for new work for the second annual Games and Art exhibition featured at the 8th annual Games+Learning+Society (GLS) conference to be held in June of 2012. Narrative is an essential tool of understanding and communication of ideas. Humanities from history to politics to science are understood and disseminated through narrative tools. Characters and bildungsroman are the flesh and blood of narratives, which link us to our past and help guide our vision of the future. Narrative is a thread which represents, interprets, and shapes our world. Our narrative is often truth for lack of capital-T-Truth as we manipulate it so it may manipulate us. Perhaps most importantly, it is a double-edged sword which grants us access to experiences which may be beyond our reach–independent of space, time, and reality. This exhibition seeks to explore the power of character and narrative through games and art.”

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

Learn more about GLS online!MEDIA: Open to virtually any form from traditional practices in painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking, to new media, performance, film, and digital video, as well as new playable games, game art, and game-like forms.

Night Light

 

Night photography reveals a world that we do not consciously see and offers photographers unique creative opportunities.

Night and day, dark and light – one implies the absence of the other. But like yin yang, each has a bit of the other. The surprising thing to first time night photographers is how their images reveal things that the mind’s eye does not see. Different light sources reveal their true colors. Compared to daylight, directed and weaker light creates drama, contrast, mystery and mood.

The dynamic range of light at night tends to be more in line with our tools abilities. Of course there are technical challenges with shooting in low light, but also tremendous creative opportunities. That’s what Darkroom Gallery wants to show with this exhibit.

Do you work with existing light – or do you introduce your own? Maybe you paint with light emitting light brushes. How have you approached shooting at night to express your vision? They want to see.
