penny FOODS
Have you noticed that the only a handful of foods are regularly sold in dozens. Eggs & pastries are most common, but there are a few others, like oysters and hot wings. As I understand it, it started because 12 pence = a shilling, and a shilling was a convenient unit of measure for 12 eggs, a pence per. This next Call costs more than a shilling to enter, but it is the 12th in the series. Open to any media…

JUROR: Founder of the highly controversial Coagula Art Journal, Mat Gleason is an internationally recognized art critic and curator of contemporary art. Gleason’s sharp analytical tongue and ability to articulate aesthetics served him well in analyzing and critiquing competitive body painting in the Ru Paul-hosted “Skin Wars: Fresh Paint”, the television series where he sat as one of the regular judges in its lone season on network television.
He has lost count of the number of exhibitions he has curated and while blogging, writing about art and continuing to publish a milder print version of his magazine, operates Coagula Curatorial, his gallery of contemporary art on Chung King Road in L.A.’s Chinatown. A southern California native who hates all of the Bay Area’s sports teams, especially the A’s, he lives with his wife (artist Leigh Salgado) and dog (Aybar) near the city of Vernon, just south of Downtown L.A.
AWARDS: Cash awards and a printed exhibition catalogue.
SALES: Sales are encouraged. The gallery will retain 40% commission on any work sold.
