CALL for ENTRIES: Trick of the Eye

Posted on March 11, 2013March 11, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

BEET it

I spent YEARS disguising food both visually and by name. Spinach quiche spent years as “egg pie.” I’ve hidden zucchini in spaghetti sauce, and carrots, onion and celery in virtually everything. I am pleased that I can now look at my kid and say, “Yes, those are beets.” But, the years of trickery served a purpose; he’ll give anything a try now that his palate has been trained to prove his eyes wrong. This next Call is all about tricking the eye. Great theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Trick of the Eye. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Trick of the Eye

Magic that is channeled
in a single shot,
a recalibration of reality,
be the clever and cunning
illusionist behind the lens.

Optical illusions conjured by a variance of processes; from physically meticulous studio setups, to spontaneously captured works of luck, and ones hugely composed in post. Manipulate our perceptions with flourish. Deal with foreshortening, vanishing points, sandwiching negatives or the unique mash up of subjects. Employ sleight of hand use of color and composition that begs us to ask the question,”How ever did they do that?”

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:
Photography

April 3, 2013

SPINACH!
I want spinach

I want to plant salad greens TODAY, but my husband keeps reminding me that the snow is probably not over for the season and that it got down to 29 degrees last night. I love planting salad greens because they are so temporary. They are seeds one day and less than 6 weeks later they are on my dinner table. I can replant, or I can plant something else. This next show deals with the temporal nature of art and heroes. I love this show…

Check out this Call for Entries from the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI) for Heroes Surround Us. There is no entry fee! I love the temporal nature of this exhibit; I love the portraiture aspect. I hope this is an exhibit for you. Take a look…

FREE ONIONS
anyone?

I have decided that it IS Spring; I don’t care what the calendar says. Some of my green onions are miraculously sprouting in the garden from what was apparently some little life that survived the winter. I think I see a sprig of basil as well. Free garden sprouts.

CALL for ENTRIES: Paducah Photo 2013

Posted on March 7, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

PICKLES
or tamales

Did I ever tell you I looked into moving into a pickle factory? No joke. It was a part of the Paducah Artist Relocation program. I fell in love with the beams. Apparently it once housed a tamale manufacturing operation once as well. Never fear, it smelled like neither. In the end, I chose the mountains over the pickles. This next Call hails from Paducah. Don’t miss this opportunity…

piggie, piggie

I love freshly roasted pork. Roasting a whole pig is a specialty in the South. We then gather for something called a “pig pickin”, where we pick at the pig. Not kidding.

CALL for ENTRIES: Alive and Well

AND THE CHEESE
stands alone

Nothing can compare to hand-crafted cheeses. Whether is is fresh-pulled mozzarella or organic, farm fresh goat cheese, there is simply nothing in the world like it. The craft, although not frequently practiced, has vastly improved in the past 20 years while other big box manufacturers are creating more and more automated processes. This next Call is sort of the photography equivalent of hand-crafted cheese. Is this one for you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Brass & Bellows (Marine on St. Croix, MN) for Alive and Well, a silver gelatin emulsion photography show. The entry fee is a rare offer, and the commission is only 20%. Don’t miss this opportunity to show at Brass & Bellows…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Alive & Well

“There is a growing misconception that traditional analog photography is dying. I’m not referring to alternative process, either. I am talking SILVER GELATIN. Remember when you were little and you would see in the movies or on TV, that guy in his little red lit room, with pieces of paper hanging on lines and trays of weird liquids. My favorite was the little tongs, like gently saving something fragile from drowning in a sea of chemistry.

“Or, recall the first thrill of watching an image appear on a blank sheet of paper, soaked in that secret solution that brought the image to life as if it had been drawn with magic ink, and you alone knew the spell to free it. Oh no, traditional photography is far from dying, in fact, silver gelatin has seen very interesting things happen to it, perhaps spurred on by the sense of freedom and experimentation motivated by the rebirth of historic process.” — from brassandbellows.com

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography: chemigrams, lumen prints, pinholes, lith prints, straight forward B&W prints, solarography, or paper negatives (or prints from paper negs). Any subject matter is acceptable, as long as the majority of the final image in produced using silver gelatin emulsion.

DEADLINE: April 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: 10 days after deadline

ENTRY FEE: Pay what you can. Editor’s Note: I cannot express how rare this is.

AWARDS: The gallery director will select 30 – 40 images to be included in the show.

SALES: Brass & Bellows will retain 20% commission.

REMINDER: Show Some Skin

Posted on February 27, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T BE
a chicken

Chicken skin is bizarre. I frequently buy chicken in bulk then take it home and clean it. Skinning chicken still freaks me out.

Luckily, this next Call is all about skin of the non-chicken variety. The deadline is just around the corner…

MOMMIE
dearest

I’ve never been accused of being overly maternal. However, my kid will be 14 years old soon, so I must have done something right. He now eats brussel sprouts and asparagus. Another point in my favor–well, OUR favor. It was actually my husband that spent the first 12 years of our kid’s life being the more maternal one. To hell with gender roles. Whatever works is my motto. This next Call wants your slant on being a woman. Approx. 52% of you should have a bird’s eye view of this one…
