ARTIST RESIDENCY: Tilburg, The Netherlands

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the AiR Tilburg from the SEA Foundation!sweet or SALTY

I love anise in Indian food and my favorite Cajun rub but care little for licorice candy.  I’m not sure why.  Maybe it is that I appreciate the flavor in a salty context but not so much in sweets.  It is said that the Dutch love licorice flavor so much that the average citizen consumes more than 4 pounds of the candy a year.  Wow.  This next Call offers you the opportunity to consume all things Dutch for up to to 3 months.  Take a look…

I could use a little magic.  If art is magic, like today’s AAAD Artist of the Day Gabe Brown suggests, then maybe I should make a trip to a studio, gallery or museum today.  Maybe you should too.

CALL for ENTRIES: Fight or Flight

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Fight or Flight exhibit from The Painting Center!FOOD anyone?

I received more “why food?” inquiries this week.  Because.  That’s the short answer.  Specifically I had someone to challenge the relevancy of a food theme with all that is going on politically in the U.S.  Long Answer, well, food IS political, and global. (Reminder, the world is larger than the U.S.)  Regulations governing food safety couldn’t be more political. Quinoa and milk and coffee and avocados, political. Choosing the source of your food and having confidence the quality of your options is all about politics and privilege.  I love food.  AAAD will continue to celebrate food.  We all grow and buy and cook and serve in reaction to our experiences of the world around us.  We act and react, indulge and temper, daily.  This next Call wants your reaction to current events.  Take a look…

“Looking back to specific artists’ reactions to unsettled times, there are Picasso’s Guernica & Gerhard Richter’s cycle of paintings October 18, 1977. On the other hand, Matisse created his joyful collaged paper cutouts for his Jazz series during World War II in France, and Jackson Pollock’s poured paintings were created in the 1950s during the McCarthy era. Creativity can feed off the inspiration of current events and/or a personal vision. We are looking for artists’ responses to these times in which we live, in 2017.” –thepaintingcenter.org

“I like to live in that very fluid space between painting, sculpture, & printmaking, and the idea of an obsessively ritualized process is still very prominent in the work.” —Margery Amdur

•

Some people are all about intent and just work through the process.  I always have intent, but I do love process.  When I saw the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Margery Amdur, I immediately thought, “show the #wip pics”.  (They are some on Instagram, BTW.)  Celebrate the work, the making of the work, the result of the work.  Just celebrate.

My grandmother loved fairy food.  She would boil sugar and vinegar together for what felt like forever (15 minutes) and then add baking soda at the last minute.  Magically, it seemed, the concoction would turn almost orange.  Once cooled, it had this beautifully buttery flavor.  Sugar + vinegar = fairy food.  Try it.  In the meantime, this next Call is all about the fairies.  Maybe a fairy kitchen?  This one is creative fun…

“It’s what happens between two sets of eyes. How you look at things and how you believe you are looked at by things.  It’s all about power. Voyeurs and viewers are not innocent.  You have a responsibility as a witness.” —Claire Tabouret

•

Whether you act or don’t act, you are responsible.  You are not absolved because you are merely a witness.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Claire Tabouret‘s work from the series Voyeur vs. Viewer illustrates that visual, that face, that personal acknowledgement of culpability.  Portraiture wins.

•

Are you a voyeur or a viewer? Find the answer in the work of AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Claire Tabouret!
