CALL for ENTRIES: Banner Project

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Geomagic opportunity -- a part of the UAG BiAnnual Banner Project at NMSU!old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

Farmers markets are changing.  They used to be the place to find great fresh produce and unique varietals of mushrooms and herbs.  I love the smell of fresh dirt on fresh food in the summer heat of my car with the windows rolled down.  But things change.  Evolution is as necessary as preservation is.  It doesn’t mean that dirt on the veggies has no place, it simply means squeaky-clean hydroponic lettuce, artisinal soft drinks & ready-made gazpacho should be just as welcome.  Views on preserving the natural within the evolving landscape are sought in this Call.  Spend the time to research this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from the University Art Gallery at New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, NM) for the Banner Project, that explores ontological responses to spirituality, technology & anthropogenic geological concerns of preservation.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Bareback

Parsnips make me itchy.  My family eats copious amount of root vegetables –carrots and turnips and beets.  But the carrot’s paler cousin makes me feel like I have rolled in fiberglass insulation.  Parsnips are easy to cultivate & fetch a higher price than carrots at local farmers markets.  I have a friend that grows them because she never has any waste.  They last forever, but even if they start to get overripe, they are a favorite treat of her retired work horse.   This next Call is interested in your equine imagery, and they promise not to make you eat parsnips.  This is a lovely theme…

Yearly round ups by the Bureau of Land Management, kill buyers, horse racing breakdowns, and drought that forces some owners to abandon their animals, have left horse’s lives in peril. This dilemma is not going away. It is a problem that needs to be addressed through action.” –from studiocgalleryla.com

ARTIST of the DAY: Hank Willis Thomas

"I Am A Man" by Hank Willis Thomas
“I Am A Man” by Hank Willis Thomas

“This series of paintings was inspired by a 1968 photograph by Ernest Withers of marchers during the Memphis sanitation workers March.  Martin Luther King was assassinated while there in support of the March.  The men carried signs which read ‘I am a Man’.  I found it fascinating that the the phrase I grew up with was ‘I am THE Man’.  The collective statement became individualistic in the age of integration.  Reflecting on American history I wanted to riff and remix the text, ultimately ending with the revelation ‘I Am. Amen.’  MLK showed us that our greatest gift is our consciousness and it is up to us what we choose to do with it.” —Hank Willis Thomas

I implore you to listen.  Listen. Understand your privilege, whatever it may be.  Being defensive doesn’t serve you. Don’t just look at people; SEE them. Love people for their humanity — both strengths & flaws.  Respect the space each person needs to work and speak and react to community in which they live.  Recognize that people have the right to be who they are, regardless of, and even in spite of, your expectation of them.  I am inspired by the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Hank Willis Thomas.  You can change the world. Start with you.

“Container 1” & “Container 2” (oil, acrylic, rust & charcoal on canvas) by painter Anthony Garratt

“The more I paint, the more I realise that we are at the mercy of the landscape and elements . . . In a world where we are obsessed with ownership and control, it is humbling and important that we are reminded to respect the weather, sea, hills and landscape on which we rely.” —Anthony Garratt

The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Anthony Garratt, from large scale installations to smaller works on paper and canvas, remind us that we are at the mercy of the physical world in which we live.  As a resident of the Great Smoky Mountains, I remain mindful of the seemingly random willfulness of nature — both the beauty and the danger.

shared patterns connects people” —Phyllis Gorsen

I quietly seek connections among us.  I find solace in subtle cues from the universe that I am not alone.  I find the accidental proof, like universal symbols found in pictorial language, give me the strongest feeling that we can find a way to communicate, eventually.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Phyllis Gorsen, seeks those same connections through pattern.
