CALL for MAIL ART: Temporality

Posted on January 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

KISSY
face

I only feel justified making pavlova during a holiday week. Pavlova (like the one at left by Tanya Zouevis) a little like two meringues kiss–through sweetened whipped cream. I think it has to do with the temporary nature of the fragile, crispy meringue and the fluffy (but easily flattened) whipped cream. We’ve just finished with New Year’s Day, and I’m already looking for a holiday. MLK Jr. Day doesn’t usually strike me as a day earmarked for indulgence. What’s after the next holiday? I’ll look into it. In the meantime, this next Call is inspired by the temporary, but you can expand your repertoire past whipped cream. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from International Blowing Bubbles Day (Netherlands) for Temporality, a mail art show. There is no entry fee, but you won’t get your work back (so don’t forget to document). If you’ve been looking for an international show for your resume, here’s one in the Netherlands…

2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on January 10, 2014April 24, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014! I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD. There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking. And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists. Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Today we name the
2013 Artist of the Year!

•

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013) ArtAscent.com, and my work ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!! I have a group show in the works coming this Spring (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods? Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you? “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven! I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note: I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle. They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima. I am inspired by your work. It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness. I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship. YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined. She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!

OPEN CALL: Marfa

Posted on December 15, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

FONDUE-LY
ours

I’ve been searching for a new St. Valentine’s Day activity for years. Our tried ‘n’ true floor picnics with wine-steamed mussels went South when Jon developed an allergy to shellfish. We’ve been floundering since then. Usually we just revert to lamb chops and asparagus at home because we live in the 2nd most popular place to wed in the country. We don’t want to fight the crowds of newly weds for a dinner of processed cheese fondue, a dozen artificially-dyed, neon-red roses and a heart-shaped cardboard box of chocolates. No thanks. O, how I would LOVE to attend a fantastic opening like the one we can expect of this next Call. Alas, only the DEADLINE of this Call is on St. Valentine’s Day. Take a look…

Check out this Open Call from The Biennial Project (East Boston, MA) for the Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 (Marfa, TX). Marfa is the proverbial house that Donald Judd built. Just do your homework. And, if your heart, like mine, has ever longed to be a part of this particularly uber-cool art scene, here’s your chance…

OPEN CALL:
Marfa

This is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick…

The Biennial Project is pleased to announce an open call to artists worldwide for Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 – an online juried competition and screen digital presentation.

Art will be presented as part of a giant screen digital display at The Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 Hoodang (that is a reception for you non-Texans) and Gala being held at world-renowned El Cosmico, the coolest gathering spot for trend-makers in the art-world Mecca of Marfa, Texas.

Now, you may ask…
Why Marfa, Texas?

It all started when the acclaimed minimalist artist Donald Judd left New York City in the 1970s for this dusty dot of a town. With the help of the DIA Foundation, Judd acquired an entire Army base, and before he died in 1994, he filled it with art, including light installations by Dan Flavin and Judd’s own signature boxes. Now it’s a whole creative community.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media that can be captured in a still digital image

DEADLINE:
February 14, 2014

ENTRY FEE:
$35 for up to 3, $5 each additional

JURORS: Members of The Biennial Project – plus a special celebrity guest juror to be announced.

AWARDS: All selected work will be displayed on the Biennial Roadshow website gallery and in a blog posting that reaches an audience of 3,000. Work will also will be included in a digital art display to be shown at The Biennial Project’s Biennial Roadshow Marfa 2014 Hoodang and Gala.

The Grand Prize is a solo gallery show on the Biennial Roadshow website, and a solo blog posting of 15 pieces work in a blog posting that reaches an audience of 3,000.

TIME

When I moved recently, I pared down some unnecessary kitchen gadgets–all digital. Among the things I ditched were a digital meat thermometer and a digital kitchen timer. I just prefer the non-digital ones. I never quite trust the digital ones. I’m always concerned about whether the batteries are on the fritz. This next Call, although digital, isn’t one to ditch…

FOOD FACTS

I cut my living space to ¼ the previous size, and quite frankly, I am relieved. Less house, less to clean. But the kitchen is SO SMALL. I feel like a feature film maker that suddenly decided to do documentaries–on the culinary lifestyles of the rich and famous, ha. My husband is calling it “well organized” at the moment. We’ll see how long that lasts. This next Call is looking for your take on documentary. Take a look…

THE PUDDING

I am told there foods that are simply not worth making for yourself because the short term reward isn’t worth the long-term effort–like chocolate pudding. I don’t know about that one since I rarely eat chocolate pudding. But, I’ve never known that to be true about food. Art shows are a different matter. Some are difficult to enter, expensive and have little to no long-term benefits. This next show is NOT one of those. Take a look because I think you’ll appreciate all this show has to offer…

Check out this Call for Entries for ONWARD Compé 2014 from Project Basho. Online entry and payment is simple, and the prizes are phenomenal. Get ready to make tough decisions because they will take anything from silver gelatin to digital work. Look into the details…

Let the pumpkin mania begin. McDonald’s is peddling a pumpkin spice latte and every grocery store, roadside stand and farmers’ market is showcasing a plethora of pumpkins and gourds from the green and gnarly to the perfectly carrot-color orbs from which a million jack-o-lanterns will be carved. Meanwhile, I’ve given in and purchased pumpkin pie scented candles, ugh. This Fall is time for you to showcase your talents–even if it is a painting of pumpkins. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from Oil Painters of America for their Fall Online Showcase. The entry fee is only $14 per image, but the prizes are huge. You DO have to be a member ($60 annual fee), but with three online showcases per year, it works out to be about the same as other shows. Take a look…

ENTRY FEE: $14 per painting

JUROR: Greg Scheibel has always felt a strong connection to the outdoors. Throughout his life he has spent a great deal of time hiking, fishing, backpacking, and closely observing his surroundings, which has led to a deep appreciation for the remote locations and unspoiled beauty of the West, which is the main inspiration for his paintings. Greg paints on location as much as possible, trying to capture an honest record of the values, color, and feel of an area. The emotional connection to nature which is the result of these field studies, is the foundation for all of his work.

Years of drawing, pouring over art books, collecting and studying paintings of artists he admired, and a general accumulation of life’s experiences contribute to what he puts into his paintings. Although still relatively new to the professional art world, he began selling his work in 2005 and became a full time artist in 2007, he shows his work in some of the West’s finest Galleries and has been invited or juried into a number of prestigious shows. He has received several awards for his work, and scholarships from the Scottsdale Artists School, an Award of Excellence from the OPA on 3 occasions, and was recently awarded Signature Membership in that organization. He has been listed as an ‘Artist to Watch’ in Southwest Art Magazine, and featured in Western Art Collector.

AWARDS: $3,000 for first place, $1,500 for second place and $500 for third place along with 10 honorable mentions
