CALL for ENTRIES: New School 2

Posted on June 27, 2016June 27, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

don’t mix my GREENS

300 miles from home, and we each wanted a salad on the go. Google sent me in the direction of a grocery store on the next exit with a huge salad bar. I came out with a traditional pile of mixed greens, spring peas, boiled eggs, carrots & cucumbers. My husband came out with segregated little piles of beets, broccoli florets, roasted tomatoes & olives, a wonder of little bites not unlike antipasto. Two schools of thought, equally valid. This next Call simply requires a school. Great exhibitions space…

CALL for ENTRIES: Childhood

Posted on June 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

land of CITRUS

I was born in Florida & spent the majority of my first 5 years there. We had a grapefruit tree in our yard. But, I can’t remember having so much as a wedge of an orange to eat. I do remember drinking lots of Tang though. Odd. Was my childhood plagued by foods expertly marketed to my single father, or is my recollection just not of those specific memories? Not even a wedge? How is that possible. This next Call wants YOUR childhood images. (Oranges not required). Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Childhood
from L.A. Photo Curator

“Childhood is bursting at the seams with wonder, learning, exploration, joy, transformation, struggle, and love. So much carries a child from babyhood to spreading their wings as adults. It is, at once, so slow and so fast. So beautiful, and at times, so hard. What do you want to say about this fascinating time? We’d love to see your version of the child, from your perspective, in all its wonder or challenge.” –from curator Meredith McGrane

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

CURATOR: Meredith McGrane is a Massachusetts-based photographer whose work often explores her two selves — one part motherhood and one part channeling a penchant for wanderlust that existed long before motherhood. McGrane’s One Love Project examines mothering an only child with themes of presence, connection, and healing. Her photographs have been exhibited nationally. When not photographing, Meredith can be found putting on plays in her living room or riding her Razor scooter around the neighborhood – both with her daughter, of course.http://www.meredithmphotography.com/

SALES: All sales are conducted between the artist & buyer. L.A. Photo Curator does not handle any part of sales. There is no commission.

ARTIST of the DAY: Dimosthenis Prodromou

Posted on June 16, 2016June 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

Sculpture by Dimosthenis Prodromou — *head sculpture by Dimosthenis Prodromou*

“I use the term ready-made pallet to describe my color.” –Dimosthenis Prodromou

I’m such a fan of found-object assemblage, trash art & recycled materials. I understand the debate over archival materials, and I embrace a movement toward outdoor ephemeral sculpture in parks and outside museums & universities. However, I do often find my self frustrated when an artist chooses to use a recycled materia regardless of of whether it really works. I don’t like the gimmick of it all. But the sculptural work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Dimosthenis Prodromou finds itself at one with newsprint. If feels like a natural progression of the paper’s lifecycle. It appears both solid, but soft & light. A ready-made pallet…

CALL for ENTRIES: Trees 2016

Posted on June 15, 2016June 15, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for one & all

Last Fall the local acorn crop failed, along with most of the hard mast. As a result, black bears suffered along with the deer, squirrels & jays; it is a primary food source in the Smokies. The bears were so hungry last year, more than 50 of them ended up at our local rescue. I am hopeful for this year’s crop. Every squirrel, chipmunk & jay that has crossed my path has done so with a green acorn in its mouth, or so it seems. Fingers crossed the trees don’t let all the little critters down this year. This next Call is also all about the trees. I like this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Trees 2016
from NYC4PA

–

“Trees are essential to the lifeblood of the world. Roots hold the soil so erosion is mitigated. They are home to birds, squirrels and many other of nature’s creatures. They bear fruit and in the fall the colors enhance our lives. Trees can also be looming, ominous, and, in cases of stormy weather, dangerous. They are integral to forests and jungles. They stand alone on a hillside creating lovely shadows; shade a child on a hot day; are sturdy posts to tie up the pet dog, hold a hammock off the ground. Remember the lost art of the backyard laundry line. Send us your images of trees as you experience them – forests, single trees, branches, roots.” –NYC4PA.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to any photographic process (print, image transfer, emulsion transfer, encaustic, black and white, etc.)

THEME: Trees

DEADLINE: June 19, 2016

CALL for ENTRIES: We Love People

Posted on June 14, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

so so many EGGS

We eat dozens & dozens of eggs each month. It would be easy to assume that when we’re out, we’d avoid them. That’s not really the case. I have them fried, over-medium, after late night outings, take them cold & hard-boiled to picnics or on early mornings. And on my recent stop at Sugar Mama’s, a little bakery/bar combo, in Knoxville, I was treated to “German Eggs”. Think of it as a fluffy egg bake or like a crustless quiche. Delicious. (Funny enough, German tourists suggested we Google “german eggs slang”. Funny.) This Call hails from Munich, but doesn’t require the inclusion of eggs. Great international show opportunity…

SPLASHING back

In the process of planning a new kitchen, I am now addicted to ceramic tile. I find a few feet I love, buy what I can afford, then fall in love with a new tile. I’m going to have to become a mosaic artist if this continues. This next Call is also in love with hanging ceramic work, but it doesn’t have to be tile. Take a look…

GREEN gold

I grow basil in most of the window sills in my home for just one purpose –making homemade pesto. I can’t grow much outdoors due to the bears and turkey and wild pigs (no, really). So, my windowsills stay full. I haven’t reaped much yet this year, and my stash of pesto is gone. Sad. But as I was excavating my freezer to avoid going to the grocery before dinner, I found a lone artifact– a bag of frozen basil large enough for a side dish. This next Call is interested in YOUR artifacts. Take a look…

tiny TREATS

Olives & cheese have saved me so many times. When I’m traveling and haven’t been able to cook (or enjoy my husband’s cooking) for several weeks, an olive bar is the answer.

up, up & TAKE AWAY

I put my kiddo on a plane, alone, bound for Texas, and as soon as he was settled into his seat, he texted me. Before even taxiing down the runway, he wanted to know how to order lunch. Ha.

Taco Tuesday really exists. It may not always happen on Tuesday, but tacos remain the easiest delivery method for dinner.
