CALL for ENTRIES: A Womb with a View

Posted on April 11, 2017April 11, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

MORE please

I have a complicated relationship with food. I eat what I want, when I want. I have a complicated relationship with moderation too. Food is at the very least a political one, and clearly a feminist one. Diet culture is pervasive. Patriarchy is rampant in the food industry. Then there’s fat shaming, BMI calculations and food deserts. This next Call wants your feminist perspective — food references not necessary. Take a look…

fiesta ANACARDO

I made a little party mix as finger food for my teenager yesterday. It is his favorite snack, and I’m a sucker for the “please” of it all. The reviews are in and while I got I got bonus points for substituting cayenne for garlic, apparently not including cashews is unforgivable. Who knew something so small would make such a difference? This next Call is counting on all things small. Investigate for yourself…

AGUA limpia

I am not an avid fan of drinking water, but my health requires it. Since the wildfires, I find that our water tastes different due to additives to protect us from bacteria that may have grown during the week water was not circulating. It isn’t just a beverage. It washes every dish. It is the foundation for coffee, tea, chicken stock and even poached eggs, mashed potatoes and steamed spinach. Never take clean water for granted. This next call requires the use of water media for all submissions. Take a look…

green PROMISE

My papaya won’t ripen; it has been in my kitchen window for a week. Ahhhh. I try to eat mostly locally sourced/grown food; however, I am not going to commit myself to a lifetime of no bananas or papaya or mango because I live in the wrong grow zone. As a result, some of the tropical fruits I buy are vastly under-ripe. I usually just gross my fingers and hope for the best. But when you know how fantastic something will the be, the anticipation can be a overwhelming. This next Call is for a show I anticipate every year, both as a participant and a viewer.

I’m that person that always has a drink in her hand. And, because I spend so much time on the road, I drink lots of water and more soft drinks that I care to admit. When I finally get home, I just want a tall, cold glass of unsweetened, decaf black tea. How odd that it would be a simple glass of tea that would remind me so much of home. This next Call wants your thoughts on ‘home’ –person, place, feeling. What’s home to you?

What are the most used tools in your kitchen? Aside from knives, mine are the vegetable peeler, 2 sizes of whisks & measuring cups/spoons.

“Ever since Pong took the world by storm, video games have been a rapidly growing and evolving art form. Earlier video games, limited by the technology of the time forced designers to think of new ways of rendering figures. However as the technology evolved so did the art form, with modern games limited only by the imagination of the developer. 8-Bit examines this evolution through the lens of visual art and how style, technology & art interact & influence one another, channeling inspiration from “retro” technology into art.” –from whitdelarts.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Time Will Tell

years of WINE and art

I eat a lot of food, so do you, it is how we survive. I also see a lot of art; it is also how I survive, quit literally, since it is my occupation. I rarely know much about an artist personally before I see their work, and I am intrigued how many of the artists behind the work I love end up being in their 40s or 50s or older. It isn’t exclusively that, but it is far more common that would seem coincidental. Maybe art, like wine, cheese & beef, ages well. Show off your maturity with this next call. Take a look…

Peanut butter & jam used to be my go-to comfort food, back before wheat allergies took my family down with a thud. So I’ve been trying out abstractions of the PB&J.

one BOWL at a time

While giving a seminar on pricing artwork last week, someone asked me who AAAD’s readers are. “Foodie artists, I suppose” to which she replied, “I like to eat, does that count?”. Of course it does. I’ve had days, weeks & months that I have unintentionally boycotted cooking, recipes or any ingredient more complicated than cereal. Seriously, folks, just eat. Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t –both art & food. If your art is ready, this next Call is a great next step…
