Still Life

From Dutch masters’ paintings to contemporary photography, the still life has played an important role in art history. This genre grants the artist complete control over their subjects, allowing unparalleled ability to select details and manipulate the scene.

Still lifes often employ symbolism, where the objects assume their own character and identity. An entire story can be told with the arrangement of a few items; toys, dolls, and household goods become surrogates, and natural life is given a persona. For Still Life: The Art of Arrangement, The Kiernan Gallery seeks evocative and symbolic still life images.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: August 20, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: 5 for $25, each add’l $5

I have conquered my peach fur issues.  If you’re a regular reader, you know I have issues with peach fur because it makes peaches look live living, furry-skinned beings.  Creepy.  Lesson learned: if you scrub hard enough, you CAN get the fur off.  I don’t know why I can eat deep fried chicken and pork skin, but somehow I get the willies when I bite into a peach.  Weird, admittedly.  This next call shines a whole different light on skin.  Take a look…

Squing & Oup – Skin Ego

 

Complete with orifice, organ and envelope, our bodies house microcosms of experience—all subject to unyielding flux, forming a shifting scape of cumulative geography and psychology. The boundary between the internal and external world is a continuous, flexible, regenerating surface, protecting and covering vulnerable machines— our skin.

Mediating everything in our lives, skin is key to biology, sensory experiences, information gathering, and psychology. Throughout millions of years, we have exposed, veiled, decorated, cleansed, healed and marred our skin to take on new roles of social metaphor. No longer presumable, but personal, skin is a tapestry speaking of our individuality, challenging us to investigate the meaning of permeable boundaries.

Check out the Current Exhibition at Squing and Oup!For this art exhibition, Squing & Oup is seeking artwork embodying the skin ego—examining the politics and psychology of emotion, evolution, exploration, environment and expression.

I am fascinated by food fads.  Remember when jalapeno poppers were the newest trend?  I always wonder what the next trend will be and how a new “cutting edge” idea becomes a part of the main stream.  We are watching organic foods slowly become the norm, and the prices of organics are shrinking.  How long until the mainstream starts seeing more value in vegetarian, or even vegan, lifestyle choices.  This next show puts cutting edge together with art for a mainstream exhibit.  Maybe this one is for you…

Looking at both the vast and the microscopic, landscape photography takes us from backyards to national parks; from mountains to coastlines. This genre includes images of the untouched beauty of the earth as well as places impacted by mankind.  In addition to beauty, it often explores the contours of our relationship with the land, presenting historic battlefields, high-rise jungles, or threatened environments.  For Terrain, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the beauty and complexity of our landscape.

EAT your
HEART out!

While watching a TV show about how salami is made, my son announced that eating the organs of an animal is wrong. However, when I explained all the things that his new belief would eliminate from his menu, he then asked, “Do they at least WASH the intestines first?” Hehehe. These days I prefer my animal organs in the form of chicken pate, but I will have to start keeping the ingredient list to myself, apparently. This next Call for Entries involves a different sort of heart all together. This could be an excellent opportunity…

If your audience is standing indefinitely motionless, entranced by the possibilities in your work and in devising an infinitude of scenarios and alternate endings, then you’ve made an image that will inspire gallery visitors with the beauty of ambiguity, mystery and perplexity.

Photographers created images that baffled the viewer as early at the 1860s; Henry Peach Robinson was a pioneer of combination printing, creating the illusory photo montage long before there was Photoshop. Darkroom Gallery wants to see your images that lead the imagination to the edge, encouraging the mind to leap. Multiple exposures, constructions, staged, anything goes, just leave them guessing.

Gender roles and alcoholic beverages are laughable.  Out of town on business this week, I was sitting in the hotel bar watching women ordering glasses of wine and brightly-colored martinis while men ordered beer and brown liquors.  Really, people?  I know I live in the South, but do we really have to fulfill this stereotype.  Kudos to the couple in the corner– he ordered a daiquiri (umbrella included), and she order a shot of something brown.  You saved my night, folks.  This next call is all about challenging notions of gender.  Take a look…

We live among trees – depend on them – harvest them – eat from them – worship them – love them.  To some people trees are home, to others — simply a resource.  For this exhibit we want to examine the lives of trees and their intersection with our lives.

Trees transcend time as we experience it.  How many of us as children have planted a tree, watched it grow and then left it behind to a new generation? Trees stand as witnesses to generations past, present and future.  Trees are part of the ecological web of life on earth and whether we know it or not we all depend on them.

Show them what trees mean to you.  Objects of beauty, reverence, necessity? Symbols of strength and stoicism?  Monuments to the past?  Victims of man’s consumption?  They want to see how you envision life Among Trees.

JUROR: Time, memory and nature are the central motifs that underlie the photographic imagery of American photographer Beth Moon.

Whether she is recording the majestic, sentinel-like Baobab trees for the Portraits of Time series; capturing the strange balance between childhood innocence and the darker wisdom of nature in the project, Thy Kingdom Come;  rendering menacing carnivorous plants in the Savage Garden portfolio, or constructing fanciful, dreamscapes in the Seen But Not Heard portfolio;  Moon reveals a magical and intuitive appreciation for the ways in which time, memory and nature define our understanding of man’s place in the universe.

Moon studied fine art at the University of Wisconsin.  Moving to England and inspired by the many ancient trees there, she decided to make a series of their portraits. She mastered platinum/palladium printing, an ideal process for her vision.  Her work has been the object of numerous solo and group exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide, receiving critical acclaim.  Beth now resides in Marin County, California.
