I live in a town with an approximate population of 3,500. Yes, you read that correctly. Luckily we play host to another 10,000 to 100,000 visitors on any given day. That increase in population warrants a few extra convenience, but we still have only one zip code and only one grocery store. For its size, it offers a large variety of fresh, canned and dried organic foods. It seems visitors to the area expect to find organic foods, and I benefit. Yeah. Organic foods are in high demand in Austria as well; I promise that segue to the next Call will make more sense if you just keep reading, ha. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Childhood Memories

Posted on July 8, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

QUICHE
or sardines?

One of my strongest childhood food memories is eating sardines out of the can on the back steps of my grandmother’s house because she couldn’t stand the smell in the kitchen. Random, but unforgettable. I wonder what my child’s will be? Lining up green beans like soldiers? Making a mashed potato volcano? Who knows? Memory is a funny thing. This Call wants to know about your childhood memories. A great excuse to reminisce…

Childhood Memories

Memories are often the inspiration for art. Artists give life to the characters and environments of our childhood memories, recording fragments of dreams, snippets of passing time, and experiences that have shaped our lives.

This call asks artists to explore childhood memories…the early rituals, the rites of passage, the innocence of early life experiences that celebrate the passionate world of childhood. Examples include childhood memories pertaining to a specific event or experience that has previously occurred. For example, recollection of an episode among friends or family members in a specific time (holidays), places (school), and/or and memories of the associated emotions of the event.

BOOKS
for breakfast

We are all taught from an early age not to judge a book by its cover. However, nearly every cookbook in my collection got there because of an appetizing photograph on the cover. A friend that photographs food for a living told me that the looks are often achieved through under cooking, over cooking, shellac, resin and paint. What a shame that such beautiful food never gets eaten. But that knowledge does make me feel better about the ugly stuff I serve fairly regularly. This next Call wants to see your books and challenges artists of ALL media to enter. Take a look…

RED and GREEN

My cooking could be kindly described as abstract. As long as I get the flavor profile correct, I tend not to care if it actually looks like the textbook dish. That results in a lot of brown food for some reason. Maybe it is my love of of dark vinegars and mushrooms. Who knows. This next Call is looking for your abstractions. Don’t miss it this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Toy Camera Fest

Posted on July 2, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

KITCHEN
tundra

I have a lot of kitchen toys, but most of them are small, manually-operated hand gadgets. Honestly, I’m not sure I could cook without a manual juice reamer or my mandolin. I usually forego the big, shiny electric appliances, but I recently gave in to a beautiful tangerine colored Cuisinart ice cream maker. It looks like a toy, but it produces masterpieces. A little kefir milk, a few raspberries and a scrape of vanilla bean is all it takes. This next Call wants to see the masterpiece you can create with a toy. Be sure to read the media description completely…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Nave Gallery and Washington Street Art Center (Somerville, MA) for The Somerville Toy Camera Fest. Don’t pass this up because of the “toy camera” label until you’ve read the definition below carefully. Did I mention the entry fee is cheap? Take a look…

Toy Camera Fest

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography. For the Somerville Toy Camera Fest (STCF), “toy camera” is identified as any low-end, low-tech, limited-control camera, including Holga, Diana and other Lomo products, as well as Brownies and Anscos and any pinhole cameras.

“Above all, I want to see images that evoke a strong emotion — joy, fear, sadness, anger, revulsion — or challenge the way I think. Toy camera imagery is about defying photographic conventions. In fact, I think of it as the visual equivalent of punk music. So, let’s make some noise.”–Isa Leshko, Juror

BACON
anyone?

I grew up in a house with a bacon grease pot. For those of you unfamiliar, that is a recycled metal coffee can that you dump your excess bacon grease in every morning for use in your dinner, nearly every night. The saturated fat from smoked cured pig permeated nearly every meal of my childhood. But in hindsight, I suppose my grandmother was ahead of the kitchen recycling/upcycling trend, eh? This next call is all about renewal and reuse. Take a look…

New foods/materials are fascinating. Well, foods that are new to me would be more accurate. My newest is flax seed meal. I use it to make everything from scones to crackers and biscuits. Then there is the chickpea. It isn’t new but some of its uses are. Chickpeas aren’t just for hummus. I made cookies out of them. The best cookies ever–no exaggeration. This next Call will let you use old materials, but the fair is named for the new ones. This is a HUGE opportunity for someone…

MILK
or not

It’s that time again. What would I be if I had to portray myself as food? This week I choose kefir. I am fascinated. My new gluten-free regimen had increased my dairy intake, and my son has dairy sensitivities. Enter milk kefir. Kefir is simply milk that is fermented at room temperature with kefir grains for about 24 hours. It has many wonderful health benefits, a great flavor and is also usually tolerated well by the lactose intolerant. I’ve been buying it commercially for $4 a quart, but now I’m going to make it myself. Think of it as a self-portrait…
