CALL for ENTRIES: Axis 12th National

Learn more about the 12th Annual National Juried Exhibition from the Axis Gallery! 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.

“One of the first things I talk to my students about is the challenge of experiencing a scene or subject with four or five of our senses and then translating those feelings into a two-dimensional frame and image. I might be standing on a beach, watching a beautiful sunset, feeling the sand beneath my feet, listening to the waves crash and the gulls chirp and smelling the salty ocean breezes, but how do I distill all the sensory information, other than visual, into a photograph?” –from Peter Bennett via laphotocurator.com

CURRY from a cart

There are glorious benefits to living rurally, including quiet solitude and night-time darkness.  But, I’ve always admitted that there are detractions, many of them food related, from the long haul to the grocer and a lack of food diversity.  Currently, I really miss street food or living in a city where wanting a snack just means I have have to walk a few yards or a block from my front door to whichever vendor is occupying the corner today.  I miss it.  This next Call wants to see your best street impressions.  Don’t miss this chance…

COOKING in paper

I dislike washing dishes, just like everyone else.  I have had a dishwasher for the past 10 years, but I still try to be conservative in usage.   But as of June 1, we are downsizing to an apartment that does not have a dishwasher.  And, while I will still avoid disposables, like paper plates, I am a strong advocate of cooking “en papillote”.  Not only is it a great way to produce tender, flavor-infused dishes, it also produces one less dirty dish.  This next Call also extols the praises of working with paper.

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…

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…
