will sing for FOOD

Food bartering is alive & well. Many of you know that I earn a living as a full-time creative, and much of that time is spent as a performing musician. Farmer’s markets & farm-to-table dinners are among our favorite shows due to the partial payment in food. Our menu is dotted with treats from the very landscapes that supply our backstage & side-stage views. This Call asks, “how does your ‘scape’ inform you work?”. Take a look…

hot HOT hot

My kitchen is awash with hot peppers. A trip to our UT Farmers Market resulted in a bounty of experimental varietals of habenero & Scotch bonnet peppers. I moved them from a paper bag to the dehydrator trays, and three hand washes later, my hands were still on fire. The maker in me couldn’t let go of the idea that I need to preserve them for use over the winter. The maker in me tries to find a use for every extra. How does your maker-thinker-feeler side affect your work? This Call wants to know. Take a look…

circus FOOD

Popcorn is the nightly snack of choice at my home, but lately it has taken on a more symbolic nature. The current election climate has left me feeling disconnected from the political process –as though my voice and vote don’t count. It feels like I’m watching a movie, eating popcorn and yelling at the innocent girl to warn her that the bad guy looms just around the next corner. This next Call strives to connect people to the political and social issues that comprises contemporary culture. Take a look…

ELIGIBILITY: U.S. artists age 18+

MEDIA: All 2D, 3D, performance & installation & video art are eligible. Due to space & logistical considerations, large-scale & complicated installation is not encouraged.

JUROR: Dr. Eric Avery is a celebrated printmaker and recently-retired physician who for decades has practiced medicine and art in tandem. His complexly layered work connects issues of printmaking and art history with social concerns of public health, human rights abuse and responses to HIV/AIDS, death, sexuality and the body. Creating powerful historical records of experience with patients, he changes the ordinary role of a doctor into an artist inspired by healing, fusing the space between art and medicine. Before his retirement, he was clinical associate professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and member of the Institute for Medical Humanities, The University of Texas Medical Branch, specializing in issues related to HIV/AIDS. In addition to being the subject of numerous gallery exhibitions, Avery’s work is found in many prestigious permanent collections.

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…

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…

squish SQUASH

Need a squash recipe? We should talk. Because they are in-season, inexpensive & always in-stock at my farmer’s market, it seems as though my family eats “crookneck” summer squash & zucchini nearly every day –sauteed, cassarole’d, mashed & even as soup. It is the perfect make-something-with-what-you-have veggie, and it is really, really affordable, sometimes 99¢ or less a pound. This next Call is for really, really affordable art, but I promise their definition is more palatable. Time to purge the studio…
