CALL for ENTRIES: Childhood

Posted on June 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

land of CITRUS

I was born in Florida & spent the majority of my first 5 years there. We had a grapefruit tree in our yard. But, I can’t remember having so much as a wedge of an orange to eat. I do remember drinking lots of Tang though. Odd. Was my childhood plagued by foods expertly marketed to my single father, or is my recollection just not of those specific memories? Not even a wedge? How is that possible. This next Call wants YOUR childhood images. (Oranges not required). Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator for the Childhood exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, great prizes & exposure for ALL entrants. Great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Childhood
from L.A. Photo Curator

“Childhood is bursting at the seams with wonder, learning, exploration, joy, transformation, struggle, and love. So much carries a child from babyhood to spreading their wings as adults. It is, at once, so slow and so fast. So beautiful, and at times, so hard. What do you want to say about this fascinating time? We’d love to see your version of the child, from your perspective, in all its wonder or challenge.” –from curator Meredith McGrane

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: June 27, 2016 (Midnight PST)

EXHIBITION: July 9 – August 9, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 15% of artist fees go to the charity of the monthly curator (griffinmuseum.org) as well as the first place winner’s charity.

CURATOR: Meredith McGrane is a Massachusetts-based photographer whose work often explores her two selves — one part motherhood and one part channeling a penchant for wanderlust that existed long before motherhood. McGrane’s One Love Project examines mothering an only child with themes of presence, connection, and healing. Her photographs have been exhibited nationally. When not photographing, Meredith can be found putting on plays in her living room or riding her Razor scooter around the neighborhood – both with her daughter, of course.http://www.meredithmphotography.com/

SALES: All sales are conducted between the artist & buyer. L.A. Photo Curator does not handle any part of sales. There is no commission.

CALL for ENTRIES: Water, Water Everywhere

Posted on June 6, 2016June 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

entirely DRINKABLE

I lived in the USVI for a couple of years, and my house used only cistern water. Rainfall kept the supply flowing for most of the year, but a couple of months prior to the rainy season we’d have to pay to have the cistern fill… about $500. That was 20 years ago. I try to internalize this memory every time I pay my $85 water bill. Well, that and I can actually cook with the tap water at my current home. Back then the hashtag would have been #dontlookinthebottomofcistern or #youdontwanttoknow. This next call is all about the water, and there are no restriction on the orgin of YOUR water. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Opulent Mobility

Posted on June 5, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

small
PLATES

My kitchen is now tiny. My family has been downsizing year by year in prep for permanent tiny living. My kitchen/dining are is 10′ square. Not small by NYC efficiency standards. For a cabin in the woods serving a family of 3 foodies, it IS small space for a double sink, full-size stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, kitchen table, 4 chairs, & dog bowls. We adapted an under-the-stairs closet as a pantry, created a custom overhead pot rack to free up cabinets space and hung a small folding step stool on the wall to allow easy access to cabinet top space. It is working. In fact, I might be able to work in LESS space. Who knew my space adaptive efforts would be both useful AND a stylish upgrade to my mountain-top kitchen? But can I apply those skills to this next Call? Just maybe…

Now’s your chance to help change the conversation about assistive technology of the future.” –from the prospectus

FOOD
for survival

New Orleans is one of my favorite cities for food. I really believed that Hurricane Katrina would put an end to the complex palate of taste that defined this beautiful town for me. I had the privilege to visit a mere 2 years after the tropical disaster. I was amazed. You can’t keep New Orleans down then, now or EVER. This next Call wants your perspective on the impact–maybe even culinary. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Pets We Love

CHEESE
dog

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too. She recognizes the crackle of the almond bag from the other side of the house, ha. We try to maintain enough self-restraint to limit her people food to minimum, but it is hard to say “no” to that sweet face. This next Call wants your work depicting your pet family. AND, it helps pets find families…

NO CHICKEN
for dinner

I have nieces in college that will only eat chicken & potatoes. More accurately, their preference is chicken fingers & fries. These ladies are in their twenties. Their parents chose their battles, so to speak, and apparently food wasn’t one of them. Even on special occasions like holidays & birthdays (not even their own), someone always cooks chicken fingers, nuggets or tenders for these two just to keep the peace. This would be a declaration of war in my house. This next Call wants YOUR take on conflict–not just from the battleground either. This is a great opportunity to stretch your artistic self conceptually…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for War & Peace. $24 entry. We’re proud of how many of our readers have been both shown & awarded in the past few years at Darkroom. Take a look…

And it seems it has always been this way.” — from darkroomgallery.com

New York, contrary to it’s TV persona, is not all bagels, pizza & hot dog vendors. If fact, it may surprise you to learn that the apple is the state fruit.

I will put salt & pepper on anything. Years of deliberate pause has taught me that not all things need salt, but it has been a hard lesson to learn. I have super-low blood pressure (70 over 40, no really), and my doctor surmises that I just self-medicate with salt. Who knows? Changing from the black & white of salt and pepper to the pink of Himalayian salt and red/green of whole peppercorns in grinders really helped me break the habit. This next Call is a great reason NOT to stray from black and white. Take a look…

“We bathe in the beauty of color and spin thousands of words describing the experience that the cone cells transmit to our brain. In reality, they are not nearly as numerous as our rods, the cells that register light and dark, the black and white of our experience. Black and white is primal, the underneath, the foundation of the opulence of color; black and white is where we register motion and, with insufficient light, optimize our survival in the night woods. Black and White intends to explore this underground of survival.” –from bwac.org

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all U.S. artists 18 years+

MEDIA: Open to all traditional & non-traditional 2D & 3D media, including film/video when part of an installation.

I hear the words, “the food landscape is changing” with ridiculous frequency amongst my foodie friends. I want to believe it is just that sunny optimism that I seek out in others, not naivete, that makes them spout this feel-good mantra. I believe in locally-sourced, sustainably-farmed, whole foods. And given an affordable option, I believe most people would agree. But, have you seen/heard the commercial wherein MONSANTO says they want you to “be a part of the conversation”? You know, the company that brought you Agent Orange, PCBs, aspartame, bovine growth hormone. Be afraid of THAT landscape. This next Landscape, however, is of a delightful variety–to be LOVED.
