CALL for ENTRIES: Verge Art Miami Beach

Posted on June 12, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BANANAS

I love Cuban food. The first time I ate Cuban food was in a strip mall in Goose Creek, SC just outside Charleston …no kidding. With a strong military influence in the area before the shut down of the military base and the naval yard, international influence on food was pretty common. The best Cuban food I ever tasted was in Miami and is responsible for my love affair with plaintains. This next Call offers you an opportunity to sample some of the best food in the world during your time at this opening…

Food marks most of the special occasions in my life from birthdays and vacations to weddings and anniversaries. Some of you are aware that my husband Jon and I sing together as the Pea Pickin’ Hearts, and food often makes our gigs memorable too.

This next Call is a perfect fit for the ladies of the Cliff Dwellers, and hopefully it will be a fit for you too…

BRIE a PAL

DEADLINE: March 31, 2011

NOTIFICATION: After April 15, 2011

JUDGES:

Anthony Lister‘s “tireless approach to living is an unrelenting approach to art. What is evident in his work is the inability to remove a man’s life from his creations. Studio, gallery and museum shows aside, his name and imagery is on street corners worldwide accessing a massive audience by way of stickers, aerosol paint and all manner of markers. His paintings, drawings, sculptures and happenings pull from his experiences as a youth in Australia and participating in the repetition as a father of two. Superheroes, skateboarding, graffiti, Australian gangster celebrities, television, jail birds, tattoos, the internet, pop and advertising resurface in his art practice.” from Too Heavy For Superman by Joseph Allen Shea.

Winston Smith: From 1977 to the present: has worked on numerous Punk record covers, posters, logos and flyers for American, British and Italian bands including Dead Kennedys, D.O.A., Green Day, Lard, and spoken word projects for Jello Biafra. Also designed album art for Ben Harper, Tijuana No, Alternative Tentacles projects, Emily the Strange, George Carlin and others. Books include three volumes of Collage Art published by Last Gasp of San Francisco, as well as works in countless other books as covers and inside (both as illustrations and for personal interviews), including illustrations for magazines such as The New Yorker, Playboy, Spin, The Progressive, Mother Jones, Amazing Stories, etc.

Marlene Antico has many years of experience in sourcing and collecting fine art for private and corporate collections. As a professional art consultant, she assists her clients to develop a comprehensive, high-quality collection and in the sale of their artwork on a consignment basis when required. Marlene Antico’s expert guidance ensures that both the experienced collector and the first time buyer derive satisfaction from their art purchases. She also works in tandem with architects and interior designers with sourcing work for their clients.

JB Berkow: “I have been exhibiting and selling my work for more than forty years. In 1976 at age 27 I founded the most well-known cooperative gallery in the country, “Touchstone Gallery,” located in Washington, D.C. My work is in the permanent collection of the Vatican Contemporary Art Collection…not bad for a nice Jewish girl!

It has never been enough for me to show and sell my own work, for whatever reason I have always been interested in promoting other artists’ work. That is the reason that I went on to found “Frenchman’s Art Gallery and Studios, Inc.” in 1994 and opened “RosettaStone Fine Art Gallery” and “RosettaStone Corporate Art Consulting.”

Ed McCormack, a former columnist and feature writer for Rolling Stone, and one of the original contributing editors of Andy Warhol’s Interview, has written extensively on art and popular culture for the Village Voice and numerous other publications. Presently, with his wife Jeannie McCormack, he co-publishes the New York art journal Gallery & Studio. McCormack’s most pressing present project is a memoir called “Hoodlum Heart,” of which he says, “It’s all about what it was like to be the test dummy for the crash and burn generation, an epic work of shameless name-dropping and self-libel that is bound to create a scandal.”

Bing Dawe: Since graduating from the University of Canterbury School of fine Arts in the mid 1970s Bing Dawe has exhibited extensively throughout New Zealand and overseas. He has held over 40 solo exhibitions including a major survey exhibition at the Robert McDougall Art Gallery in his home town of Christchurch in 1999. His work is held in most public and private collections in New Zealand. In 1999 he was the winner of a major national art award, The Visa Gold James Wallace Award.

PRIZES:

The Winner of the inaugural Charlatan Ink Art Prize for the Visual Arts 2011 shall receive the Charlatan Ink Art Prize Silver Ink Well and US$ 25,000.00 in Prize Money.

The artist with the second highest point score awarded by the jury shall receive the Charlatan Ink Encouragement Prize, which includes a 6 week artist residency at the Carlton Arms Hotel, New York*, a Canon G11 Camera and US$ 1,000.00.

Furthermore Endeavor Printing will print an exhibition catalog (softcover, max. 75 pages in an edition of 200) for an exhibition the artist might undertake within the next twelve months of the Second Prize win.

The artist with the third highest point score awarded by the jury shall receive a twelve months art expose on the CHARLATAN INK Website, hosting the artist’s portfolio.

To encourage galleries to forward to their artists all relevant information concerning the Charlatan Ink Art Prize, Charlatan Ink Publishing & Endeavor Printing have committed themselves to print for the gallery that has encouraged the Winner to participate in the Charlatan Ink Art Prize, a first class exhibition catalog in an edition of 300 copies (softcover, max. 100 pages).

SALTY BUT SWEET

I grew up with a single father from age 3 to 13, and it was a culinary adventure. One of my fondest memories is of weekend-long motorcycle trips when I was around 8. We’d climb on and hit the road.

CALL for ENTRIES: Past is Present

Posted on September 22, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

DO HICKEYS

It will come as no surprise that I love kitchen gadgets. I actually own a machine called the CoCoMotion (pictured right) that serves the solitary purpose of making hot cocoa at the perfect temperature. Embarrassing, but true. The top of my cabinets serves as a storage house of ridiculous serving pieces I’ll never use, old cheese boxes, and some very cool art made out of toasters. And if it is an OLD kitchen gadget…like my egg scale, then I’m really in love.

I fell in love for this Call for Entries from The Columbus (GA) Museum called Past is Present: Contemporary Approaches to Historical Decorative Arts and Design.
