CALL for ENTRIES: Wheels

Posted on June 30, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HOT WINGS
not hot wheels

I am proud that we cook most of our meals at home; however, I feel compelled to be honest. I live in a delivery wasteland. I live in a town where the only thing you can get delivered is pizza. If my local smoked brisket purveyor had wheels, we’d all be in trouble. Here’s a call all about wheels. Get a move on…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Wheels. Low entry ($24) plus a great juror. If you gotta be blue, do it this way…

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let the Darkroom know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends of AAAD, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wheels

Next to the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel has been the most significant achievement in the development of human culture and civilization.

The horse drawn chariot revolutionized warfare, while the stone wheel of the gristmill made it possible to process enough grain to feed increasing numbers of city dwellers, and the oxcart provided transportation for people and produce. In the modern era, life would be unimaginable without wheels. America is truly a “car culture”. The rest of the world is not far behind.

How do you envision wheels in your own life? Maybe you’re a car nut, a lover of anything that looks sleek and goes fast, from a Grand Prix car to a NASCAR racer, to a land speed record vehicle. Or perhaps you’re more aware of other types of wheels, such as those on bicycles, baby carriages, or trains. And then there are Ferris wheels and pinwheels, skateboards and rollerblades. Conveyer belts and steamboats. The possibilities are nearly limitless. — from darkroomgallery.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Figure Revealed

Posted on June 24, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

BUTTER BEANS
or butter AND beans

My husband is a string bean. He is six feet tall and has spent most of the past 15 years struggling to hang on to 145 lbs all while consuming every meal as though it were it last. Yes, it IS annoying. But, changes in the fat & protein content in our diet over the past year have resulted in his gaining about 10 lbs and a pant size. I’m tickled. He’s still a string bean, but age is revealing a completely different figure. This next Call asks for more figures revealed. In the meantime, it is hollandaise & a spoon for dinner…

CALL for ENTRIES: Not a Full Deck

Posted on June 23, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LEMONS
& vinegar

Good food is all about balance, and it seems that a lot of commercial cooks and chefs are not cooking with a “full deck.” The most common mistake? A lack of acid. A little lemon will transform your cheesecake from cloyingly sweet to perfectly delectable. A little red wine vinegar will make your tuna salad memorable. This next Call is looking for your take on working with less than a “full deck.” Great theme…

RARE
please

I like my eggs over easy and my steak & tuna rare, maybe medium rare–depending on where I am.

The opportunity offered by this next Call is equally rare. Please pay attention to this one…

CALL for ENTRIES: This May Have Happened

Posted on June 20, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

SHOPPING
in my sleep

Sometimes it seems as though the days of half-hour grocery trips were only a dream, but I know it really happened, right? These days it take at least 90 minutes to read all the labels, pick the lesser of the evils AND search for the best deals. But, I believe in a future that allows me to grow most of my food. Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream. This next Call wants to know how it happens in your dreams. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
This May Have Happened

The power of photography as document or proof is well-demonstrated. Photographic images are often crafted to exist alone, as singular facts.

At the same time, the narrative possibilities of still photography develop from the power of suggestion, the potential of the open-ended scene, the unresolved thrill of the cliff-hanger. The stories that these images suggest may or may not be factual, but their power comes from allowing the audience to bring its own sense of plot and tension to the work. We are looking as much for questions as we are for answers.

Think noir. Think sweeping epic. Think fairy tale. Think cause and effect. Think characters.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all photographic work.

DEADLINE: July 18, 2014

NOTIFICATION: Mid-August

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

As a photographer, Stettinius has been exhibited nationally and internationally over the last twenty years and his work can be found in numerous private and public collections & is represented by Robin Rice Gallery in NY and Page Bond Gallery in VA.

AWARDS: A Juror’s choice award of $500 cash prize & honorable mention will be awarded.

CALL for ENTRIES: Everyday Objects

Posted on June 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FLIP IT
over

The offset spatula is my favorite cooking gadget. I get asked all the time, and I suspect my answer is never what they expect. A fancy food processor or expensive hand-forged knife would probably be more standard answer, but I love the offset spatula. Personally, I prefer the 9″ offset spatula by Wilton (meant for cake icing). I use mine to both to apply gel medium to canvas when making artwork and to flip grilled eggplant for my eggplant lasagna –with a thorough wash in between. Sometimes it is the everyday object that means the most. This next Call wants your perspective of the everyday object. Everyone can work with this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from Unframed (online) for Everyday Objects. $15 entry! And please don’t forget to research your curator. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Unframed

The exhibition confronts the viewer with a fascinating array of everyday, ordinary things, and in the process gets us to take a close look at the objects and our encounters with them in our daily lives. They are overlooked, ignored or simply taken for granted. This exhibit takes a close look at the all too frequently unnoticed objects that many artists are turning to for inspiration.

CALL for ENTRIES: From Our Perspectives

Posted on June 18, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

HOT STUFF
please

My perspective on what makes for the perfect food shifts every few years. Occasionally I get stuck in a phase for a while. I worshiped all things spicy for 5+ years, and now I’ve been stuck on the piquant tang of goat cheese for 10+ years. Taste buds only live about 10 days, so that gives lots of opportunity for a change of taste. This next Call wants a female perspective, but not necessarily on food (although it isn’t excepted). I encourage you to take on some academic shows. How about this one, ladies?

CALL for ENTRIES: Super Sheroes

MASHED
& fried
& sauteed
oh my!

My current kitchen kryptonite is the potato. I love them. I love them. I love them. They do not love me. They spike my blood sugar–which is fun, I’ll admit. But the eventual crash off the sugar results in my desire to stuff my face and take a 3-day long nap. I never realized how many I ate until I started trying to reduce my sugar intake. Wish me luck. This next Call will let you expose your own kryptonite, or not. Take a look…
