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…

ARTIST of the DAY: Brooks Salzwedel

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

"You Never" (graphite) by Brooks Salzwedel — *“You Never…” (graphite) by Brooks Salzwedel*

I have been struggling with identity lately, struggling to find my voice again –both metaphorically & literally. Art is supposed to evoke emotion, possibly incite action. Added to the experience of the audience, art can evolve, change stories and inspire change for the better, or worse. The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Brooks Salzwedel feels intimate, makes me feel vulnerable, maybe a little paranoid. This organic drawing nestled in a foreign shrine are seemingly devoid of connection, sans proximity. But, then again, ‘you never’ know what another person battles.

electronic EATS

I spent another week eating & working on the road. I am a grazer, always snacking on something whether I am home or on the road. Most of my work gets done in a hotel room or in the car during night drives, but this week I spent hours in a coffee shop. Ewwww. The yuck didn’t come from the coffee or the fantastic lunch I had. It came from my laptop. Gross. Who do I call to decontaminate my work space? The fluorescent lighting in the coffee shop highlighted every crumb, splotch & speck. This next Call wants your view on technology & nature (not necessarily food). Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Private Collection

MUSHROOMS hold the pepperoni

Pepperoni rolls are all the rage in West Virginia, often attributed to a historically large Italian immigrant population. However, my food fascination during my 4 days in West Virginia this week has been morel mushrooms. Hunting large caches or collection a large number of morels is a statewide obsession as well as a part-time moneymaker for many. If you’ve never tried this meaty, intensely-flavored variety, search them out. You don’t have to make a special trip to West Virginia, your local grocer may carry them. This next Call is interested in your collection of art, not mushrooms. Investigate…

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…

what a peach APRICOT

I often feel indignant about crap people are willing to eat. Yes, it’s a little judge-y. But, there are so many people worldwide without the access to healthy food, so I find myself impatient when people take it for granted. But, I digress. My husband recently enjoyed making fun of the newly-acquired fact that the only apricots I have ever eaten have been dried or a part of a sauce or jam. My husband insisted we buy a fresh apricot, and, apparently, it is on the menu as a part of my breakfast in the morning. I’m not opposed; it just hasn’t ever been a thing. There is a first for everything, right? This Call is a first for this brand new gallery. Investigate this artist-run space…

ARTIST of the DAY: Gehard Demetz

Posted on June 13, 2016June 13, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

sadness & SILENCE

The loss & violence in Orlando this week is unbearable. I was once watching an interview with today’s artist in which he was trying to speak to his inspiration, his inner voice. He said,”I represent this world, this culture.” I heard this and wondered about the world of which he spoke, this world of children in arresting situations, and hoped his work wasn’t REALLY representative of the world. I don’t want the world to be that painful, that complicated. But it is. I love this work. I will always love this work. Today, I wish it didn’t feels quite so real. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gehard Demetz has put a face on our world today. (continues below)

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…
