TRUTH

Iowa = Corn.  I have no doubt Iowans are justifiably proud of their corn.  But, I could not BELIEVE they reintroduced my favorite food with a twist –Caprese Salad on a Stick.  The Iowa State Fair debuted this genius idea in 2014.  How did I miss this one?  I ended up using it at my own art opening less than a month later.  This next Call is another reasons Iowans should be proud.  Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Chait Galleries Downtown (Iowa City, IA) for Benjamin’s Buttons–Faces of Intensity.  I love this theme, and the gallery space is truly gorgeous.  Take a look…

How do you judge intensity? What experience can you portray through portraiture that captures the spirit and invites viewers to share emotion and understanding? What do you envision when someone’s buttons are pushed to or beyond their limits?

Photography
Vera by Photographer Dan McCormack
Vera
Pinhole Photography		McCORMACK used a round oatmeal box pinhole camera to create a series of visceral images. Through successive pulling of curves in Photoshop, B&W values are replaced with color. The “Nude at Home” series, began about five years ago.

McCormack photographs the model nude in her home, apartment or studio. With the model in her space, all the objects in the image are a part of the life of the model. Then the pose, the furniture and the long, two minute exposures reveal an intimate portrait of the subject.

SOUR?

I dream of lemons & olives–and corn, of course.  While dreaming of my future garden, I am excited at the prospect of growing non-GMO corn.  But, I also have fantasies of the produce I love most like lemons and olives, neither of which is native to my climate.  Is it just enormous hubris on my part to believe that if I try to grow them in a walipini that they will automatically surpass the quality of the native-grown varieties that I buy after their long trip to my local grocery store?  What is it about humans that makes us want to manipulate plants?  This next Call wants to see how you successfully manipulate plants in your art.  Take a look…

Oil Painting		ADAMS was born in the rural outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA, where she lived before settling in Charlotte, NC. Adams obtained a BA in Art & Education from Wingate University & a MFA in Painting at the University of SC. Her research on objects and the interior is drawn from the emotional memory of solitude and longing that the memory of place or thing holds for her. She is inspired by the desire to express, through ideas of shared experience, the emotional memory that these locations or 'special objects' hold.

pickled, not red

My pantry is a library of food fads and favorites.  You’ll find canned tomatoes from my mother (necessary to all of my favorite dishes) and high-fat coconut milk (necessary to all quiet indulgences).  Then there is the the fruit cocktail, quince marmalade, pickled herring, kimchi, a jar of black lime & a few dried apricots left over from some food obsession or experiment that either went awry or with which I got bored.  I can’t bring myself to get rid of the non-expired food no matter how random because they occasionally inspire genius.  This next Call displays the beauty of collecting and sometimes inspires genius.  This is a beautiful idea…

FROZEN?

To freeze or not to freeze– THAT is the question.  I tend to cook in large quantities.  I do it on purpose to provide additional dinners, but mostly lunches, with the same amount of effort it took to make dinner.  The problem is that not all food freezes well.  Chili is great reheated after being frozen for a week, but potato soup becomes paste after only a day in the freezer.  Casseroles take on a luscious, unctuous quality while mushrooms turn to rubber.  This next Call want you to freeze TIME, for better or for worse.  Brilliant.  Are you up for the challenge?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Chronograph. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror.  But, I have a soft spot for this theme.  Take a look…

Chronograph

 

“Photography is a medium renowned for freezing time. However, there are many facets and dichotomies this theme of chronology can visually explore.  Darkroom Gallery is calling for explorative visual depictions of time.  Pasts and futures can often collide…and what of time travelers and quantum physics?  Lastly, photographs can be truly devoid of time, they can have a sort of classic “timelessness”. “ — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

THEME:  Time-oriented photography; vintage, futuristic or rhythmic imagery.

to rise?

Breakfast is beloved in my house.  Everywhere I have ever lived, including some time in the Virgin Islands, breakfast has been the biggest meal of the day because it was always the cheapest.  Even tiny islands in the Caribbean can raise chickens instead of importing eggs.  So, a cheeseburger might be $18, but breakfast was always under $5.  Those days have passed, and breakfast can be a pricey endeavor.  It is apparently even more expensive if you get up a little later and call it brunch.  Start your morning with this next Call because it is definitely cheaper than brunch. 🙂  Take a look…

Firmin holds an M.A. from Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies, and was awarded a Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative Fellowship at Arcadia University Art Gallery.  At the UB Art Galleries, Firmin established an annual residency program in which artists are presented with an empty gallery to transform over time while open to the public. These commissioned projects aim to forge meaningful interactions between artists and diverse groups of people while acknowledging a turn toward research-based and ephemeral site-specific approaches in contemporary art.  In 2014 Firmin co-chaired (with Julian Cox) the Association of Art Museum Curators’ annual conference in Detroit, and moderated the panel Urban Ecologies and Cultural Exchange.
