What are the most used tools in your kitchen?  Aside from knives, mine are the vegetable peeler, 2 sizes of whisks & measuring cups/spoons.  In my head, I can’t imagine not having a food processor & an immersion blender, but I don’t really use them that much.  The newest tech isn’t always the best tech for the job.  This next Call is a reflection on a the evolution of tech through art.  You’ll love this one…

“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

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more from the Coburn Gallery at Ashland University in Ashland, OH!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…

I’m a planner.  I like structure and process and, well, control.  And this holds true for my art, my food, my life.  But, here I am faced with opportunities for which I can never really be fully prepared.  So, what to do?  Let go, that’s what. So, I am embracing the unknown, and the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Margaret Fitzgerald, has helped me on my way.

In preparation for an international move in 2018, we are downsizing to a one bedroom apartment (approx. 450 sq. ft) from a 2 bedroom cabin (850 sq. ft.).  As we purge, I find that I make decisions on whether things stay or go based on their usefulness, simplicity & aesthetic, in that order.  The simple beauty of the work of today’s Artist of the Day, Megan Klim speaks to me.  It is a beautiful calm.

Hidden Life of Stripes 17 (encaustic) by Kathy Cantwell

“They wait to be observed. In their numbers,
they are a community of stripedom, standing
together to make their voices count & possibly
overtaking the viewer with their strength.”
—Kathy Cantwell

•

Unlike many curators & jurists, I really love reading artists’ statements.  I live to consume them separately so as not to influence my perception of the work.  I am drawn to geometrics, so when I came across the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, encaustic painter Kathy Cantwell, I was intrigued by the “why” behind the stripes.  I never expected to walk away with a perspective on humanity, on how we are better… together.  Thank you, Kathy.

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…

Events have left me at home alone for lunch most days lately.  I’m not good at eating alone.  I’ll adjust eventually, but for now it is bananas & peanut butter or pasta with butter & parm.  I don’t do food solo easily, but art is a much easier solo option.  This next Call is a great outlet for solo work.  Plus, it comes with a little bit of budget.

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…
