CALL for ENTRIES: LACDA Top 40 Juried Exhibit

Posted on May 10, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY GOODNESS

I once tried to make a “Top 10” list of my favorite foods. Then I decided maybe a “Top 40” would be easier. I gave up trying when I couldn’t even fit them into a “Top 100” list. All I know is goat cheese is near the top of any list of any length that I might scribble on the back of a diner napkin. This call could rank your work as top cheese. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Outdoor Sculpture

Posted on May 9, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PICK YOUR BRAIN

Sometimes you have to eat outside your comfort zone. I’m not suggesting you all go out and order brains to go with your eggs at the diner, but I am asking you to live a little. Ordering food from a menu that you may not like is not earth shattering. There ARE worse things. Expand your palate. You would be amazed at the adrenaline rush I get from discovering a new taste or food experience. This Call will be a challenge for a few of you closet sculptors out there. Just take a deep breath and order the brains…

Check out the Call for Entries from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas for the 16th Annual Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition. The entry fee is only $25, and having an academic exhibition of this nature on your resume could truly alter the trajectory of your career. Think carefully about this one…

If you aren’t sure you are ready to jump into this arena, I want to encourage you to visit a local university campus.

CALL for ENTRIES: Down on the Farm

Posted on May 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FARM FRESH
GOODNESS

My local farmers market opens soon… have you check out yours lately? I am green-ish about energy conservation, re-use and recycling. I must admit that I am more motivated when there is a cash savings involved. But with food, I am all about the green alternatives. Local foods are fresher and tend to be cheaper, and some local products like honey are said to help combat seasonal allergies. This Call gives you the perfect opportunity to embrace all that you love about farm fresh goodness. Take a look at this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery called Down on the Farm. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Down on the Farm

Your source material for “Down on the Farm” is endless: the backyard garden to the 1000-acre ranch, rice paddies to cotton fields, the chicken coop to the breeding barn, milking stand to dairy co-operative, sugar house to forest floor, road-side veggie stand to farmers’ markets, agricultural auctions to agricultural fairs. This is your chance to pay tribute to the men and women who work the land and raise the animals that nourish us all.

A look back: the Farm Security Administration was born in 1935 in the United States as a means to battle poverty in rural America. It was the documentary photographic work born of this era and via the goals of the FSA, that the first major bodies of work depicting agriculture and its social realities came into being. The majority of the work produced was by fifteen Photographers (a total of 44 photographers had been hired) including such greats as Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Carl Mydans and Ben Shahn. Look to their images, as well as contemporary Ag-Documentarians for your inspiration (Paul Mobley is one practiced suggestion!).

JUROR: “From the fishing villages of Alaska to the palaces of Croatia, Mobley has traveled the world over to capture and celebrate humanity in its infinite forms.” Paul Mobley’s portraits are rich with intimacy – close-up, straight, real, indicative of the souls behind the eyes.

Mobley began his photographic education at the Detroit Center for Creative Studies. He continued his training through apprenticeships in New York with such greats as Annie Leibovitz and Steve Steigman. He grew his photography into a successful commercial career working for a broad range of corporate, advertising, and editorial clients, including American Express, Sony, Citigroup, Ford, Compaq, Gourmet, Max Factor, Chevrolet, Microsoft, and many others.

Mobley visited over 200 farms and ranches across the United States to collect the over 150 portraits that appear in “American Farmer: Portraits from the Heartland” (2008 by Welcome books). Following the tradition of Richard Avedon’s watershed monograph and Mike Disfarmer’s Heber Sprints series, “American Farmer” is an epic monument to the spirit of rural life through the faces and words of those who sustain and nurture the land. Mobley’s dedication to the “American Farmer” project, allow him an experienced and practiced eye through which to jury “Down on the Farm.”

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

Age: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, a parent or legal guardian may make the submission for you.

WIPE YOUR MOUTH…

I grew up using cloth napkins. It didn’t matter if were eating popcorn or Thanksgiving dinner…it was always cloth napkins. I am intrigued why people feel the need to fold them in such elaborate shapes. I simply don’t have the patience to learn until now… check out these printed orgami napkins. Too cute.

CALL for ENTRIES: Inanimate

Posted on May 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PRICKLY PEAR,
anyone?

I am a bit on the fruity side of normal, and I got there loving extreme fruits–both the botanical variety and the two-legged, human kind. However, I have somehow managed, to the best of my recollection, to become an artist, gallery director, curator and editor without ever having sketched, drawn, photographed or painted a bowl of fruit. This Call doesn’t require a bowl of fruit, but a bowl of fruit would certain qualify. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Working with Artists for Inanimate, a still-life photography show at FLASH Gallery (Colorado). This show’s entry fee has a unique twist– sell a piece of your work, and they will refund your entry fee. Cool, eh?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Inanimate

Working with Artists is issuing an international Call for Art Entries / Submissions for Inanimate, an exhibition of still life photography from international artists from June 17 – July 30, 2011 at FLASH Gallery in Lakewood, Colorado.

Inanimate.
Inanimate objects, are, literally:
Objects not in motion.

Still life in art has a long, rich tradition in history. Still lifes in Egyptian tombs provided food for the deceased. Allegorical still lifes of the Middle Ages gave way to the natural botanicals of the 16th Century, followed by the depiction of everyday items in the Eighteenth Century. The 20th Century’s proliferation of artistic movements reimagined the still life in exciting new ways, making them more abstract.

Viewers imbue a still life with a deeper meaning. In a still life, one looks at an object and begins to fabricate a narrative around the object, charging it with meaning. Multiple objects placed together—in irony or symbolism, for example–generate layers of complexity as the objects themselves seem to spin a story. Food in a still life may be more than merely decorative–it might also imply impermanence and death.

For Inanimate, they are seeking the motionless as a way to express wisdom to the living. Objects that say something about us–about our journey and about how we see, live, work, love, and die in this world.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all domestic & international photographers of all ages.

MEDIA: Digital or traditional photography or a combination of both

DEADLINE: Submissions due no later than 8pm on Friday, May 13th, 2011.

NOTIFICATION: Selections will be announced no later than Friday, May 20th, 2011.

SUBMISSIONS: Jpgs can be entered via email or a CD can be mailed to WWA – 445 S. Saulsbury St, Main Gallery, Lakewood CO, 80226.

ENTRY FEE: An entry fee of $35 for up to three images, and $5 each image thereafter, or $25 for WWA/CLICK! Members, $5 each thereafter shall be included with the entry. Checks can be made to “WWA” or credit card payments can be made over the phone to 303-837-1341.

JUROR: Adam Lerner is the Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and Chief Animator in the Department of Structures and Fictions. He was the founder and Executive Director of The Laboratory of Art and Ideas at Belmar until The Lab merged with the MCA Denver in March 2009.

Lerner was previously Master Teacher for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Denver Art Museum from 2001 to 2003. While at the Denver Art Museum, Lerner worked with Director Lewis Sharp and Continuum Partners to conceptualize and create a new contemporary cultural space for the Denver community. These discussions were the impetus for The Lab at Belmar.

Prior to his arrival in Colorado, Lerner served as Curator of the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, where he also curated several exhibitions, including new projects with Christian Marclay, Dennis Adams, and Isaac Julien.

Lerner received his Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University and his Master’s from Cambridge University. He was a Fellow at the Smithsonian American Art Museum from 1997 to 1998.

SALES: Commission is 70/30 for Members of WWA or 60/40 for non-members. Juried artists in the exhibition who make a sale in the gallery will be refunded their full entry fee.

BERRIED Alive

I am addicted to blackberries and raspberries. I dare say that I would consume them at EVERY meal if I was financially able to afford them that often.
