CALL for ENTRIES: Interdisciplinary

Posted on November 27, 2015November 24, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

& BITE

Being a great cook, is an interdisciplinary skill. I know a handful of people who claim to be so uncreative that they “can’t draw a stick figure”. Clearly, creativity is not measured by the quality of your stick figures. But I am willing to accept those sorts of self-assessments –unless they come from a great cook. Composing the perfect dish requires great taste, some basic scientific knowledge, both an eye for design and nose for the perfect unexpected ingredient. Without that combination of talent, meals are likely to be unremarkable. This Call is another way to put a combo of talents to the test. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Creative Living Works (Somerville, MA) for Interdisciplinary, at the Washington Street Gallery. $20 Entry & 20% commission. This is another reason to stretch your skills or even collaborate. Investigate this opportunity…

life LESSONS

If the life of American artist Margaret Keane, famous for drawing portraits & paintings with big eyes, taught us anything, it is to be careful who you trust with your name, with your work — with your legacy. Today’s featured work leaves me with the same words of caution. AAAD is happy to share the work of Stockholm-based artist Amanda Senneby, our current Artist of the Day, with you. (continues below)

small men GREAT WOMEN by Stockholm-based artist Amanda Senneby! — *“small men GREAT WOMEN” by artist Amanda Senneby!*

“A self-initiated book project with the working title Small Men Great Women. The purpose of the project is to tell the story about successful couples where the women have been neglected in the historiography in favor of their men. I want to examine a simple way to communicate and pay attention to a difficult and inaccessible subject.” –Amanda Senneby

CHOW

Food for women apparently exists. Well, it isn’t food exclusively for women, but I discovered there are a few foods that are even better for you if you’re female– including one of my favorites, flaxseed. Not using flaxseed? I love ground flaxseed as a substitute for bread crumbs on top of casseroles. I mix flaxseed with a little Parmesan and a mist of olive oil and return the casserole to the oven until it just starts to brown. Flaxseed adds a nutty flavor that I prefer over cracker crumbs, hands down. This Call is also meant for women. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Amy Friend

perspective, yes

Get to know artist Amy Friend, our current Artist of the Day. I struggled to choose what to post because she is, simply, in my head. This work is both lush & toothsome. (continues below)

My Tangled Perspective by Amy Friend, AAAD Artist of the Day — *My Tangled Perspective by Amy Friend*

“A pleasure in the discomfort & need for the tension.”
— Amy Friend (from amydraws.com)

“My current body of work focuses on a desire for balance and the dichotomy of my life; my desire for adventure and freedom versus a need for security and roots. Illustrating these themes is the current obsession of mine. Using metaphors and abstracts, my work maintains realism in its depiction. The compositions create a graceful struggle and an uncertain balance.”

I ate broccoli at dinner last night. *yawn* Did you know there are approximately 30,000 edible plants on this planet? Did you also know that a mere 50 crops make up 90% of the calories consumed?

This next Call is another excellent way to celebrate diversity. Take a look…

ROOTS

I am grateful for the apples, but I am missing fresh local veggies already. My local orchard serves as my farmers market most weeks. With their cold storage program, I can get local apples for most of the year, but the veggies they offer are limited as of November. Aside from winter squash, the only thing LOCALLY fresh I’ll have until spring are potatoes, onions and maybe a hot house bell pepper or two. My normal $25 farmers market budget will be too much for a change. This Call is a great use for the extra $. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals 2

eat my
FUNGI

I’m afraid of eating wild mushrooms. Correction, I am afraid of improperly identifying a mushroom as edible and doing unexpected harm to my family. So, I have been trying to decide whether or not to grow them myself. Growing mushrooms at home always conjures images of damp, basement-like conditions. But research indicates I can crow them on logs in dappled shade, above ground, among the living, with fewer creepy-crawlies. This next Call want to know your views, wild OR domestic, but no veggies–just animals. Take a look…

eat a TATER
save a TURKEY

Sweet potato casserole, and I’m done. Turkey has never been a part of my family’s holiday traditions. In fact we are so obsessed with sweet potato casserole with a pecan pie top, we really just eat the rest of the meal as an excuse to consume ridiculous amounts of casserole. It serves as a side dish & dessert then late-night snack. We until it is gone. It takes the four of us about 2 days. I feel the need to put on stretchy pants just thinking about it. This next Call is a fun turkey project. Take a look…

BLACK TRUFFLE

What happens when food imitates visual art? At Art Basel Hong Kong in 2015, that question was answered by 10 stellar chefs. The image to the left is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon combination of French sea bass, seasonal black truffle, celery mousse line & Malabar pepper sauce to recreate Zao Wou-ki’s dark abstract work. This dish, and at least 9 others in this vein, were available at restaurants in the Hong Kong area back in March. I can’t know how tasty it was, but, my oh my, how beautiful. This next Call wants your surreal work, but not the culinary version.

The season of marshmallows & peppermint looms large. Homemade marshmallows are the BEST. I like to cut them in rounds just large enough to fit inside my mug of hot cocoa (like a giant crouton in french onion soup, ha). Mine are made simply with water, sugar, gelatin, salt & vanilla. Here’s a similar recipe if you want to give it a whirl. Your cocoa will never be the same again. This next Call wants your joyous Winter renderings. Enjoy the season…
