CALL for ENTRIES: Curious Camera

Posted on March 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

RED, WHITE
and curious

Food deprivation is not new to me. In the South, women are born dieters, as was I for half my years. I no longer participate, opting for whole foods and a healthier self image. But, I was still dumbfounded when I read a study that proposes eating from a red dish, as opposed to the white ones I currently use, might result in smaller consumption. Human beings are a curious sort aren’t we? Maybe it is the association with stop signs and traffic lights. Who knows? This next Call is curious in its own way, and leaves room for you to stretch your talents. Don’t assume; investigate instead…

Check out this Call for Entries from Artseye Gallery (Tuscon, AZ) for Curious Camera. A photo show with great categories, and only $10 to enter. PLEASE don’t discount this show if you are NOT a photographer. Take a look first…

BUFFET

I spent my pre-adolescence & formative culinary years in a small Georgia town. It wasn’t all peanuts but more a montage of scenes including fried foods, all-you-can-eat buffets, red-clay stained feet & knees, and demolition derbies. But in hindsight, I think those scenes were more about my family and less about the place– Marietta, Georgia. This next Call is proof of the fantastic opportunities & venues found in Marietta/Cobb County. I am in love with this venue. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

CUCUMBER

I’m on the lookout for a horned melon aka an African cucumber. I tried one many years ago and remember the flavors of lemon, banana and cucumber, but because they are exceedingly rare, I can’t find one locally. I suspect if I find one in the South, it will probably be imported and unripe. Those tend to just taste like banana. Keep your fingers crossed, or send me one if you run across it. In the meantime, the next Call is a very rare illustration call. Take a look…

CHICKEN LEG
at a time

Growing up, meat was the focal point of all meal preparation. Everything revolved around how long the meatloaf, turkey, fried chicken etc. had to cook. Every plate had to be picture perfect–1/2 meat (it is the South afterall), 1/4 starch (usually potatoes), 1/4 vegetable (often fried). As an adult, my meals still have a singular focus, but now that focus is ease of preparation, ha. This next Call for Entries is singular in focus as well. Be sure to check this out…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) for Focal Point to be shown at MFA’s Circle Gallery (Annapolis, MD). A good juror + a beautiful gallery = Great opportunity…

FOOD
fantasies

I never ceased to be amazed by what conjures a memory. I was contemplating what to send to my 92 year old grandmother in a care package, and of course, food is always her favorite (genetics). Sudden I was 5 years old watching her dump marshmallows & coconut in cocktail fruit and excitedly explaining all about the food of the gods… ambrosia, a fantasy food. Okay, maybe the genetic predisposition has changed a little over the years, ha. This next Call wants YOUR idea of fact or fantasy. But, I don’t think they are looking for ambrosia…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Fact & Fantasy

Photographers have a wonderful ability to turn ordinary surroundings into an otherworldly realm. Optical illusions, chemistry, and the mechanics of modern tools, have opened new possibilities for artists to untether their imaginations. Artists exploring make-believe use their dreams and memories as subject matter. Their work distorts reality, making everyday objects and environments alien and magical. Photographers construct their own fantasies, creating alternate worlds that straddle the line between reality and fiction. For Fact and Fantasy, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the unearthly and strange.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE:

Recently, her work was included in Jill Enfield’s Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes. Over a decade ago Melanie Craven and her sister Michelle founded Tilt Gallery. And in 2012 with nearly a 100 exhibitions under her belt, Melanie Craven moved Tilt from its home in Phoenix to the Arts District in Old Town Scottsdale. In Tilts new location Craven continues to offer individual artist exhibitions, juried and group shows and serves the local art community.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. The Kiernan Gallery DOES have incentive to sell your work.

I prefer thought-out, composed meals with true intention. But, let’s face it…that doesn’t always happen. Today, my lunch included two olive & cream cheese stuffed pieces of celery, a deviled egg, a pickled beet, two slices of fresh tomato and two pickles. The only thing composed was the beautiful square plate. Truly, it was a collage of anything I could find that didn’t have to be cooked. This next Call wants your collage, AND they want it square.

Coconut snow creme anyone? I’m trying to come up with a logical way to combat my winter frustration. Because I live near a little-traveled corner of the National Park, I STILL have access to untrodden-snow in area that is as free from harsh chemicals and pesticides as one can approximate in 2014.

All I want for my birthday is a biscuit. My birthday is June 6th. On Christmas Day, I made my birthday request of my mother.
