CALL for ENTRIES: Scapes 2018

Learn more about Scapes 2018 from art-competition.net!sunny SWEETS

After a day of planting African daises and marigolds for my mother, I have the first (& hopefully only) minor sunburn of the season. A sunburn always makes me crave melon, but cantaloupe and honeydew aren’t at their best at the moment.  Hopefully by the time my mother’s landscape of Mexican heather is in full bloom, even the watermelon will be ripe.  In the meantime, this Call wants to know about the different “scapes” in your life — land, city, sea or mind.  Take a look…

just NUTS

I shop from a half-dozen grocery stores. Because all but one is out of town, my menu is often reflected in my travels for the week.  Thai food only shows up on the table when I make it 30 miles out to get natural peanut butter.  I mean, the local grocer has something called “natural”, but I think we can agree that just because something CAN be eaten doesn’t mean it SHOULD be eaten –natural or not.  However, I do love the junky peanut butter cereal available everywhere that is neither natural nor contains actual peanut butter.  Hi, my name is Rachel, and I’m a food snob hypocrite.  It’s complicated.  This next Call is all about our relationship to the natural world.  I can’t wait to see this one…

THEME:  Natural Encounters. We now know that 60% of primate species are threatened with extinction, as are hundreds of other species. In the the Arctic, large areas of permafrost are melting, and an ice swath the size of Delaware is separating in Antarctica.

Did you know the red squirrel bites the side of the maple tree so that syrup will drip & dry on the bark for later snacking?  Clearly people aren’t the only ones with a sugar addiction.  Because we so rarely have pancakes at my house, my husband makes syrup from scratch when needed.  It is the only thing that keeps me from chugging it straight from the container some days.  Animals we are.  This next Call wants your animal perspective.  Show them your best…

family FOOD

What makes comfort food a comforting food? I have a friend whose local tradition is bring food to a grieving family.  Upon the death of her cousin, she noted that a half-dozen dishes of macaroni and cheese, two layered dips and three lasagnas, none of them comforting to all.  For me it is fried green tomatoes, and occasionally goat cheese.  After a little research it seems that it isn’t the cheese or butter or starch that makes comfort food, it is familial connection, the security of childhood (if you had any).  I am fairly certain my father never tasted goat cheese in his life, but my grandmother made the best fried green tomatoes ever.  So, maybe.  I don’t know.  What do you think?  This next Call is all about Grief (not necessarily the accompanying food).  Investigate…

During the winter, I’m grateful for the extra heat of the oven after lunch or dinner.  I usually leave the oven door open until it reaches room temp.  However, come Summer, or even Spring for that matter, I will start looking for alternative ways to cook without having to combat the heat of the oven for the rest of the day.  Ceviche may be the simplest of them all.  Ceviche is a method of cooking fish or seafood in citrus juice alone –without heat.  It doesn’t produce the flaky fish you get from the oven, but if you’re a fan of sushi, you’ll love ceviche.  This next Call is all about Aternative Techniques.  I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

Winter is bearing down on my culinary sensibilities; it does every year.  In need of tomatoes for a recipe, I ventured into the produce section of my local grocer on a mission.  I was greeted with $4/lb. hot house tomatoes shipped in from a climate that should not require a hot house for them to flourish.  The most amazing part is that I only had to buy one.  Why?  Because the one tomato I bought, while beautifully folded like so many of my favorite heirloom varieties, was dense like a cannon ball and nearly three-quarters the size of my head.  Monster tomatoes are in a store near you.  (Spring can’t come soon enough.)  In the meantime, your monstrous work is welcomed by this next Call.  It is the first Call for this online publication; don’t miss out…

THEME:  Monsters. “Teratology. Cryptozoology. Therianthropy. All of these terms are related to the study of monsters. Monsters are at once foreign and familiar, and they take on a good deal of cultural work, reflecting back to us our own monstrous side as well as representing “otherness”. Protectors or destroyers, they elicit reflection on the complexities of our nature . . . As a society, we consume monster-centric media in mass quantities, from volumes of fairy tales to horror flicks to serial killers presented on screen and in podcasts. From Totoro to Pan’s Labyrinth, be they gentle or malicious, monsters demonstrate a broad and intensely creative diversity of form, and there is a rich art historical archive of images and sculpture dating back centuries and reaching across cultural boundaries. –Anne Eder

She is also a reviewer for Lensculture.

THAI tofu

I was out having Thai food for lunch with a friend lately.  I ordered massaman curry with shrimp; she ordered green curry with tofu.  I will never understand.  I said, “Tofu?”, and she replied, “of course, it is my favorite”.  Seriously?  I am certain there are a lot of people who appreciate tofu as a vegetarian-friendly protein that will take on the flavors of other foods.  But she looked me in the face and said, “it is my favorite”.  NO.  It isn’t really anyone’s favorite, is it?  I was looking at the face of deprivation, right?  Someone explain tofu to me.  Again.  Please.
