Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!VALUE MENU

Do you remember when fast food was a super fast, super cheap option?  If you were on the go or in a hurry, lunch or dinner at a fast food joint wouldn’t break the bank.  Today, my little family of 3 stopped for lunch.  I ordered from the value menu to keep my portion sizes in check.  My two favorite men ordered sandwiches and fries.  The total was about $16.50.  Really? $16.50 for a fast food lunch?  When did this happen?  Clearly, I am out of touch with reality.  This next Call puts 1650 in a much better light.  Don’t miss this…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles) for I’ll Be Your Mirror: The Portrait. The entry fee is only $25, and the 1650 Gallery also offer free matting and framing. Take a closer look…

I’ll Be Your Mirror:
The Portrait

 

Great portraiture such as that produced by Dorothea Lange, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Matthew Brady, Peter Hujar and Diane Arbus comprise one of the main pillars of the Pantheon of photographic arts.

The challenge of capturing the personality behind the person requires both technical know-how and an artist’s eye, combining technique, intuition and empathy. When done right, the unseen power of persona comes into focus and, as if by magic — personality seems to jump from the page. This month 1650 Gallery tips our hat to the power of people pictures, and welcomes your work in the blockbuster genre of photographic portraiture.

ELIGIBILITY: All artists 18 years or older

Sometimes I buy non-perishable specialty foods in multiples.  It is hard not to when they are on super sale.  However, I don’t necessarily need 6 jars of Chinese mustard or 4 bags of buckwheat.  I am careful about expiration dates, but sometimes it would really  be nice if the expiration dates on these items would flash and warn me when I’m getting close.  Consider this your flashing expiration date on this next Call.  Don’t delay…

little piece of
my heart

I am craving tapas, and I am too lazy to do it myself.  I love the idea of little tidbits of a large variety of foods from savory to sweet.  I also love the sharing that is inherent in this sort of eating.  It always feels like we are sharing a chef’s whole portfolio of tricks and treats with those we love the most.  This next Call will allow you to show YOUR whole portfolio, and I am happy to share it with my readers…the ones I love most.  Too sappy for Thursday; I know…

Portfolio Show

 

Every photograph tells a story. When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative. A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, providing context that gives it richness and meaning greater than the sum of its parts. The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its second annual portfolio showcase, juried by renowned photography critic Vicki Goldberg.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE:  May 23, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Approx. 8 days after deadline.

ENTRY FEE:  $50 for 10 – 15 images

Learn more from the Kiernan Gallery!JUROR:  Vicki Goldberg, one of the leading voices in the field of photography criticism, wrote about photography for the New York Times for thirteen years and has published several books and the texts for more than twenty-five photographic monographs.  One review of her latest book, The White House: The President’s Home in Photographs and History, called it “a lovely way to invite people who are a little wobbly on their White House and presidential history to shore up some of their weaknesses, while learning a thing or two about how the medium of photography has shaped our identity and national perspective.”

Goldberg has received numerous awards for writing, including the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award, the Royal Society’s Dudley Johnston Award, and the Long Chen Cup (China).  Ms. Goldberg, who has taught courses at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York, the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Institute of Boston, lectures internationally and writes on photography for various magazines.

AWARDS:  For this exhibition, four photographers will be selected to show their complete bodies of work.

SALES:  Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

I have a long-standing addiction to pasta. More accurately, I am addicted to that slightly drowsy, completely relaxed feeling I have when I finish a beautiful Italian meal. My friends have been trying to get me to read Wheat Belly, but I’ve resisted for fear that I would end up having to give up my favorite pasta, whole wheat couscous. I cannot bear the thought. So, this next Call comes from San Francisco which has nothing to do with couscous, but the last time I made a Rice-A-Roni segue, I got email for weeks. So, my stream of consciousness led me to couscous. I know, random. Regardless, don’t miss this next Call…
