CALL for ENTRIES: Methods (Alternative)

Posted on November 27, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BRAISING
glory

As I may have mentioned a few hundred times, we try to be very careful about what we eat. Braising has become my alternative technique for cooking almost anything. A TINY smidgen of olive oil in a non-stick pan allows me to caramelize veggies and meats, then I de-glaze the pan with a little water that helps steam the food to the proper temperature. No frying needed. This next show wants to see you alternative methods. Might have to enter this one myself…

Check out this Call for Entries for Methods (Alternative) from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is well-documented. Take a look…

Methods (Alternative)

Alternative process photography today is a hybrid of historical techniques and contemporary ideas. Old is new again and the resurgence of non-silver processes has led to The Kiernan Gallery’s second alternative process exhibition.

Whether it is in reaction to digital, or a hybrid process aided by the technology, these techniques remain as evocative as ever, bringing a unique style to present-day ideas. For Methods (Alternative), The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that use any alternative processing technique for any idea you wish to express.

CALL for ENTRIES: Gold

Posted on November 26, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

GOLDEN
taters

Gold has been used to adorn everything, including food, for years. At least once per month, some entertainment magazine show features a sundae with gold leaf that costs $1500+, but there are cheaper ways too, like edible spray paints. But personally, I choose my golden food in a well-roasted Yukon gold potato. Or maybe a baked chicken. This next Call wants to see your take on all things golden. The deadline is a week away…so hurry.

Check out this Call for Entries from Beers Lambert (London) for the Gold exhibit. There is no entry fee, and many of you living stateside probably still need an international show on your resume. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Gold, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Gold

Gold remains an enigma within the history of art and culture, and while much has been analyzed regarding its use, existence, and symbolism in art and culture, any historical discourse regarding the use of gold in art history has remained relatively stagnant in contemporary culture. Still, artists from the Byzantine period to Michelangelo and even Damien Hirst have made countless works with gold as the sole source, means, and directive of the work. Today, however, the use of gold in modern or contemporary art (while prevalent) is often used cheekily, consciously referencing the medium’s historical and overwrought allegorical signifiers, or self-awarely pointing out the kitsch connoted therein.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media adopts gold as its raison-d’être will be considered, including: two-dimensional, three-dimensional, installation, video, performance, new-media and other traditional and non-traditional media.

DEADLINE: December 3, 2012

NOTIFICATION: It is the applicant’s responsibility to check the site in throughout December and January 2013, when results will be posted online. Only successful applicants will be contacted by email.

ENTRY FEE: None

CALL for ENTRIES:
Gathering Clouds: The Winter Studio

Artists are intuitive, sensitive and connected to their environment. Whether you live in Alaska or California there is a shift we all feel as winter approaches. Shorter days, longer nights. Does that create more time for going inward? Are you more inclined to introspection? Does your color palette shift with the seasons? Show them how the change of season is reflected in your artwork.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Any media that can be appropriately represented by you in a 1200×1200 pixel image. i.e. painting, photography, printmaking, illustration, drawing, etc.

REMINDER: The End

Posted on November 23, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

THE SLEEPY
bird

Thanksgiving marks the end of a turkey-free holiday streak at my house. Until now, I haven’t had part in cooking a turkey in twenty-eight years. No joking. It isn’t that I dislike turkey so much as I believe that there are far better things to eat. My mother prefers maple-glazed ham; I like curry and honey glazed duck. But, my kid wanted turkey. The kid wins this time; the end of an era. This next Call is all about the end. This deadline is right around the corner…

BERRY
jealous

Did you know that the chokecherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and thimbleberry (pictured left) ALL grow wild in Minnesota? I could use some wild berries about now. My grocery store is getting to that point in the season that only citrus fruit has any taste and you’re best to stay clear of the seemingly gold-plated (based on the price), tasteless berries. This next Call hails from Minnesota, home of my current berry-envy. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 16th Woman Made

Posted on November 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FULLY BAKED!

My son is contemplating going to school to be a pastry chef. I can’t even allow myself to think that it might really happen; he’s only 13. But the most interesting part of this particular career conversation (there have been hundreds) was that he was shocked and relieved to find out that it was OKAY for him to be a boy and want to cook. What? His father has cooked 75% of the meals he has ever eaten. How could he think there would be a gender issue? Bizarre. This next Call does have a bit of a gender issue to be considered. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Octagon Center

Posted on November 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TOUCHDOWN!

To my knowledge, there are no octagon shaped foods–unless you count chocolates that come in an octagon shaped box. However, there are definitely seven-sided foods. Tourné potatoes were a rival to my sanity in cooking school. Two inches long with seven perfectly rounded sides. We weren’t allowed to blunt the ends. They had to be perfectly pointed little oblong taters–nearly football shaped. It still causes me physical pain to even think about them. But they were beautiful. Let’s stick with the octagon, though, like the one in this next Call. Take a look…

MATERS & PUMPKINS

We always miss the things we can’t have. I can no longer have vine-ripened tomatoes from my local grower, and by the time Spring gets here, I’ll be craving them like chocolate.

CALL for ENTRIES: Smile

Posted on November 17, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

HALF-BAKED?

My husband considers me nauseatingly optimistic. I always believe the soufflé is going to rise. I just assume that my potato leek soup will be the best ever made. I just assume the roast won’t be overcooked even though I forgot and left it in too long. I’m just THAT person. I choose to approach life, and my kitchen, with a smile. It doesn’t always work out in my favor, but I’m okay with that too. This next Call is all about the SMILE. Happy reading…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Smile

“smile: express friendliness, chuckle, roar, toothsome, happy, ridiculous, ducks, giggle, shocked, proud, snort, grin, candy, anxious, love, circus, wedding, crow, laugh, guffaw, charades, express tenderness, beer, tickle, smirk, babies, Elvis, feet, snicker, jubilate, cackle, fishing, ice cream.

“The word “smile” originates from the Middle English word “smilen”, which was probably from an early Scandinavian dialect, which later migrated to Jamaica where it evolved into the phrase, “we be smilen.” Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer had two of the great smiles of all times. I attended a Bob Marley concert years ago and everyone was smiling. It gave me the same feeling I had watching my brother watch my nephew walk for the first time or watching my Dad watching Rodney Dangerfield or seeing the expressions of the loved ones of returning soldiers. I remember once when my friend’s brother, during the Disco era, got a plaid leisure suit — we were all smiling. Smiling is universal and can be triggered by anything, especially photographs.” — from the A. Smith Gallery website.
