CALL for ENTRIES: Sirens & Seahorses

Posted on May 12, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

olives or
PEANUT BUTTER

I wax nostalgic around holidays, and Mother’s Day made me think of pimento loaf. When I was around 7, my father & I lived in Little Rock, Arkansas. My Mom wasn’t around (that’s a long story for another time), and my Dad made all my lunches. In his mind, pimento loaf was an appropriate lunch meat for a 7 year old. At night, I would sneak to the bedroom door and whisper “peanut butter & jelly” while he prepared to make my lunch–subliminal influence. I quit getting pimento loaf, and at least 3 days a week, I got Goober Grape®. My Dad never mentioned it. This next Call also conjures images of childhood for me. Maybe my childhood wasn’t the standard. Hmmm…

CALL for ENTRIES: Birds

Posted on May 9, 2014May 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CHICKY

When I was pregnant, I couldn’t eat anything that looked like a bird. The smell of fresh-roasted chicken made me ill. And, while I could eat a chicken nugget or bad, food-service breaded chicken patty, the mere sight of a drumstick would make me violently ill. At the time, I worked behind the cheese counter at The Gourmet Shop–which was, and still is, famous for the hundreds of pounds of chicken salad they make & sell everyday. That job didn’t last long. This next Call IS NOT for roasted birds; I suspect they would prefer imagery of birds that are still very much alive. Just sayin’…

TOMATOES
extra fructose?

I had brown tomatoes at dinner tonight, and they were NOT rotten. They were Kumatoes–a hybrid developed in Spain. I noted they were a touch sweeter, but less exotic tasting than they appeared. But, I can’t resist a weird fruit or vegetable, so I tried them as a part of a Caprese Salad. Pretty, but forgettable. This next exhibit is all about Color as well; just make sure you don’t send pretty-but-forgettable work. Take a look…

Since diagnosed with a wheat allergy, bread isn’t an option for my family. And honestly, I don’t really miss it. We’ve come up with alternatives for pizza dough, cookie dough and pie crust. But I can’t come up with substitutes for puff pastry or the heavenly 32 layers of flaky dough that is the Kringle. Help. Me. Please.

CALL for ENTRIES: REDhanded

Why RED? Red is the warmest and most striking of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males.

Red is Tuesday’s color. Red roses symbolize passionate love. Red is the color of Mars. Red is the color of blood with strong symbolism as life and vitality. And we believe artists who work in RED understand the power of creating art within shades of red. Here’s hoping to catch you RedHanded! –from the prospectus

A hummus monster lives at my house. He can go through a tub of hummus a day with corn chips, carrots, pork rinds; it matters not. We often make something instead of buying it to reduce the amount of ingredients and unpronounceable crap in our food.

FIRED UP

How did grilling become the domain of men in TV commercial land? Is it the fire? If yes, how is fire masculine? Is it just the grilling of meat specifically, or is it equally masculine to grill eggplant? How do these idiotic ideas start? We’ll this next Call is looking for explorations of what it means to be male–even the stereotypes. So, fire up your grill and serve them a hot one…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for XY. Low entry ($24) plus free matting & framing. I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: XY

Photographs of the strengths and virtues of masculinity coupled with the Achilles’ heel of meeting these stereotypes.

Do all men have power? Do all men want power? Is masculinity the same in every culture and time period? Does the performance of masculinity depend on the categories of race, class, and sexuality? The answer to the first three questions is a resounding no, while the answer both to the fourth one is a clear yes.

Darkroom Gallery is calling for photographs that explore the field of cultural, social, historical, political, psychological, economic, and artistic constructions of masculinity. What makes something or someone “male”? These definitions change with communities across the world and throughout history. There is a tense and complex relationship between hegemonic masculinities & subordinate masculinities. Throughout history, men have paid a steep price for not adhering to, or consciously resisting, stereotypical masculine models. Let’s remember sex and gender are separate entities.

Wanted are images interrogating these male ideals: photographs of warriors, fathers, of wimps and muscle men. Little boys can be “snakes and snails and puppy dog tails” but they can also love the color pink. Inanimate objects can imply such meanings. In the wake of patriarchal fanfare show us the vulnerability, gentleness and supple subtleties behind what is means to inhibit/exhibit being “male”. — from darkroomgallery.com
