CALL for ENTRIES: Points of Departure

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more from the Points of Departure Exhibit from the John Michael Kohler Arts Center!FRUITY fantasy

Food transports me.  While I travel a lot regionally, I spend far less time west of the Mississippi, much less outside the U.S. borders, than I would like. If I can’t be there or go there today, or this year, food offers an escape to places far and near — both past favorites & those destinations yet untraveled.  This next Call wants to discover the places to which you depart.  Take a look…

CALL to ARTISTS: Purchase Award

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more from workingartist.org!fast FOOD

Groceries arrived at my door this week.  You see, we chose to become a one-car family years ago.  We live fairly remotely –2.5 miles from the closest two-lane road and nearly 10 miles to a minor four-lane highway.  So, when the water pump on our car erupted in the driveway, getting groceries became a challenge for the weekend. Luckily, we have access to a grocery delivery that costs less than the taxi to and from the grocery store would cost.  Some days, you just need a little help.  This next Call wants to offer a little help to artists.  Take a look…

I caught my child harvesting poisonous potatoes.  Digging up a rare, toxic tater is a good thing I’m told. They weren’t meant for us, luckily, and he didn’t dig them from our yard.  He found them in the Desert Biome on Minecraft.  If you don’t understand that last sentence, fear not, you can stick to checkers or chess for this next Call.  Play through…

ARTIST of the DAY: William Hall

“The Fifth Labor” (dry pigment & polished grout) by William Hart

“I ask the question ‘what if?’.  I am not always happy with the result, nor is it  always what I expected.” —William Hart

__

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day asks the universal question, and better yet, is brave enough to admit that he isn’t always happy with the outcome.  Thank you.  The unrelenting pressure to make creativity look easy and always perfect, not only leads to the demise of artist confidence, but renders experimentation and growth high risk.

“Untitled” (20 mm mild steel round bar) by Regardt van der Meulen

“People habitually live with a misled sense of security, the illusion that our environment or civilisation is dependable and static. Often times the dangers and violence of the current world we live in interrupts and the illusion of safety is exposed.” 
—Regardt van der Meulen

___

A friend recently messaged me to say, “I don’t know how I’m going to make it through today. How do you do it?” I replied, “I just put on foot in front of the other until I get to the end.”  In hindsight, even that simple plan is fraught with assumption.  ANY way you get through is better than NOT getting through.  Don’t worry about the bonus points for style.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Regardt van der Meulen sculpts with full awareness of the ephemeral nature of how we exist. Fragile, but stubborn.
