CALL for ENTRIES: Chronograph

Posted on December 7, 2014December 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

cold or
FROZEN?

To freeze or not to freeze– THAT is the question. I tend to cook in large quantities. I do it on purpose to provide additional dinners, but mostly lunches, with the same amount of effort it took to make dinner. The problem is that not all food freezes well. Chili is great reheated after being frozen for a week, but potato soup becomes paste after only a day in the freezer. Casseroles take on a luscious, unctuous quality while mushrooms turn to rubber. This next Call want you to freeze TIME, for better or for worse. Brilliant. Are you up for the challenge?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Chronograph. They always have a low entry fee ($24) & a great juror. But, I have a soft spot for this theme. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Chronograph

“Photography is a medium renowned for freezing time. However, there are many facets and dichotomies this theme of chronology can visually explore. Darkroom Gallery is calling for explorative visual depictions of time. Pasts and futures can often collide…and what of time travelers and quantum physics? Lastly, photographs can be truly devoid of time, they can have a sort of classic “timelessness”. “ — from darkroomgallery.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

THEME: Time-oriented photography; vintage, futuristic or rhythmic imagery.

DEADLINE: December 28, 2014

NOTIFICATION: January 4, 2015

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 (online)/$29 (email)

*Editor’s Note: It is important to let Darkroom Gallery know you found their Call on artandartdeadlines.com. They are friends & sponsors of AAAD, and I always want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: 52nd Masur

EARLY
to rise?

Breakfast is beloved in my house. Everywhere I have ever lived, including some time in the Virgin Islands, breakfast has been the biggest meal of the day because it was always the cheapest. Even tiny islands in the Caribbean can raise chickens instead of importing eggs. So, a cheeseburger might be $18, but breakfast was always under $5. Those days have passed, and breakfast can be a pricey endeavor. It is apparently even more expensive if you get up a little later and call it brunch. Start your morning with this next Call because it is definitely cheaper than brunch. 🙂 Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 52nd Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $10 entry fee, no commission, and the gallery is stunning. This is a great opportunity!

NOT CORN

What’s behind the naming of state foods? The obvious answer is that it honors a crop vital to a state’s economy and/or identity, right? Wisconsin has milk. Florida has oranges. And so on. But what about the dozen or so U.S. states that does not claim a state food. Iowa has a state rock (the geode) but no state food. If you have any idea why, I’d love to know. In the meantime, here’s a Call from an arts organization that Iowa should be proud to claim. Investigate…

STAPLE

I have grits for breakfast 3+ days per week. I have a favorite brand of organic, non-GMO grits that never cease to inspire. On a busy morning, it is scrambled eggs over the top of cheese grits. The next morning, the refrigerated left over grits are cut into cakes that are sauteed and used as the base for Eggs Benedict. This morning it was Charleston-style milk grits with a poached egg & chorizo. There is no end to the independent spirit of this simple staple. This next Call is an inspiration of grits proportions as well. Take a look…

I don’t share well. I never have. I like to believe it is an only-child-thing, but I’ll stab your hand with a fork if you get too close to my plate during some dishes–Eggs Benedict, for example. Just ask my kid; it doesn’t leave marks, but apparently it is memorable, ha. Regarding this next Call, I need you to be generous and share. I hope this Call is just the opportunity YOU want. But if it isn’t, please share it far and wide so that this dream doesn’t go unrealized for someone out there. Take a look…

MENU

Frequently, the most memorable kitchen creations are happy accidents. As much as I love a list, theme and a plan, sometimes I find myself in a situation that forces me to create a masterpiece from what I have on hand or try something new on the spur of the moment. My favorite chicken-cheddar-broccoli soup came about as a necessary use of what I could find in the frig. Now it is a winter menu staple in our house. This next Call is a show that is both un-juried & un-curated, but I KNOW this organization. It will definitely be a show not to be missed, and you can be a part of it. Please investigate this one…

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am an emotional eater. I own it most days. I have learned to indulge the tendency with care. Potato chips and dip are fine after an occasional day of stress as long as it isn’t a daily ritual. Also, I’ve learned to be more discerning about the potato chips and dip I chose, of course. I find that my celebration eating is far worse than my stress eating though. I am wishing lots of celebration cupcakes for the five of my readers (fingers crossed) that make the cut for this next Call. Take a look…

I spent the majority of my life hating beets, but I was so very wrong. They are my favorite color on the planet; that should have been my first hint. The beautiful shade of purplish-red found in sugar beets was the first clue that they held an earthly luscious quality not to be missed.

I never thought about what astronauts ate when I was little, but I was disturbed that all they had to drink was Tang–or so I thought, ha. Gone are the days of strictly canned or freeze-dried foods in space. Now, those travelers have fresh fruits, vegetables and even waffles and scones. But, I think being faced with irradiated meat might make me a vegetarian in short order. This next Call contemplates the entirety of the cosmos, not just the menu. Investigate!

Cosmos

This exhibit invites artists to envision the mysteries of the universe, both scientific and fantastical, theoretical and fictional, real and imagined. How do artists render the work of scientists, authors, explorers, astronomers, cartoonists, Trekkies, LARPers, astrologers, and philosophers? This exhibit embraces not only what science has revealed about space, but what humans have imagined about the cosmos. From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity. From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists are invited to submit works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine. The goal is to assemble a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos. –from prospectus
