I loved drinking Tang as a kid, did you?  Formulated by General Foods Corporation, it was first marketed in powdered form in 1959.   But sales of  the powdered breakfast drink were poor until NASA used Tang on John Glenn’s Mercury flight, and subsequent Gemini missions.  If space flight sold an orange-flavored, maybe this next call for scientific exploration can sell you artwork.  Time for an experiment of your very own…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mystery of Man

Read the Full Call for the Mystery of Man Exhibit!Mystery of Man is a multi-media exhibition open to all artists.  Mystery of Man seeks to revive the classicist notion that both art and science are mediums of understanding. Throughout history, societies have employed both mediums to negotiate ideas of self and the meaning of existence. Through this lens, works selected will address one or many of the following questions:

-Where or what did we come from?
-Why are we here?
-What is reality?
-How do we interpret the self?

Works will be juried based on their relevance to the above questions and the quality of their craftsmanship.

I’ve never been much of a milk drinker.  So it is easy to forget how much dairy I consume. I recently had to start taking Cipro, a really strong antibiotic, to try to knock out a irritatingly persistent ear infection, and it can’t be taken with dairy products.  I’m on day 5 of a 10 regiment, and I had no idea it would make my life so complicated.  Speaking of dairy, did you know that Monterey Jack cheese was made by the Mexican Franciscan friars of Monterey, California, during the 19th century?  If you go to the opening of your solo show that you got by sending a proposal to this Call, let me know if they still make it there.  Better yet, pick some up for me…

Why is tuna cassarole, of all things, the “go to” dish to take to a family in mourning?  I find tuna cassarole depressing, and depression is not supposed to be the end result of taking a covered dish to a family suffering loss.  You are supposed to comfort them, make their life simpler by elimating the need to cook.  I’m telling you… they throw all 14 of the tuna cassaroles in the trash.  I’m just saying that if you feel the need to every bring food to my house, I prefer soup or chocolate anything.  This next Call asks that you contemplate death…and maybe even the food that inevitably accompanies it.  Investigate…

So, I wonder what food the audience for a golf tournament would eat?  It would need to be finger food you could carry from one hole to the next.  And, in theory, it would need to be quiet out of respect for the golfers need to concentrate.  Hmmm…if one of you is a golfer or golf fan, let me know.  So what does that have to do with this Call?
