CALL for ENTRIES: Library Thoughts 4

Posted on January 24, 2014January 24, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

MAKE IT AGAIN,
Sam

I still have a recipe box. Yep. When I find a recipe I love or make a masterpiece that warrants an official record, I write it down on an index card and stash it in my recipe box. Why do I feel like I just confessed to some horribly illicit activity? Well, if you still illicitly work with paper in some way, here’s a curated international open Call for works on paper. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Hungarian Multicultural Center (Dallas, TX & Budapest, Hungary) for Library Thoughts 4, a juried exhibit at the Hegyvidek Gallery in Hungary from August 26 – September 06, 2014. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Library Thoughts 4

Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable type books ignited the explosion of art. These days the printed books that were previously published by publishers now can be read on line as ebooks.

What is the future?

Instead of having to interact with computers through not-so-intuitive and sometimes even counter intuitive devices like a computer mouse or track pad, soon users will be able to control their computers doing natural human movements such as gestures, whole-body movement, eye movement, and perhaps even such things as facial expressions.

Is it the end for books as we know them? Question the survival of paper, books, libraries in this digital age. The process of sending artworks through the mail, with the envelope, the stamp and the postmark as entire part of the mail-art-object make this process to what we call MailArt.

Editor’s Note: Once again, this is only Mail Art in the sense that most of the art will be mailed for the show. Unlike traditional Mail Art shows, any unsold work will be returned in December.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artist books, works on or of paper may be any size, but MUST fit in a 9″ X 12″ (22.9X30.5cm) envelope. Unmated, unframed photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, cast or folded paper, multimedia or digital prints.

DEADLINE: March 31, 2014

NOTIFICATION: April 4, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

SALES: 30% commission

CALL for MAIL ART: Temporality

Posted on January 13, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

KISSY
face

I only feel justified making pavlova during a holiday week. Pavlova (like the one at left by Tanya Zouevis) a little like two meringues kiss–through sweetened whipped cream. I think it has to do with the temporary nature of the fragile, crispy meringue and the fluffy (but easily flattened) whipped cream. We’ve just finished with New Year’s Day, and I’m already looking for a holiday. MLK Jr. Day doesn’t usually strike me as a day earmarked for indulgence. What’s after the next holiday? I’ll look into it. In the meantime, this next Call is inspired by the temporary, but you can expand your repertoire past whipped cream. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from International Blowing Bubbles Day (Netherlands) for Temporality, a mail art show. There is no entry fee, but you won’t get your work back (so don’t forget to document). If you’ve been looking for an international show for your resume, here’s one in the Netherlands…

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on October 29, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

how the
COOKIE
crumbles

I am amazed by the difference in food preferences in my own household. I thought I had everyone brainwashed to think only as I do about food. But alas, they have escaped my grasp. My son prefers Ranch dressing, and my husband will choose oatmeal raisin cookies over chocolate chip any day. I have learned to embrace our difference; after all, that leaves more chocolate chip cookies for me. This next Call allows YOU to embrace differences as well. Take a look…

Check out this great Call for Entries for the Annual Embracing our Differences Exhibit in Sarasota, FL. And in addition to possibly getting your artwork on a billboard …don’t forget there is NO ENTRY FEE!

CALL for ENTRIES: Trick ART Treat

Posted on October 27, 2013October 27, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

the trick is
I MISS THE TREATS

I haven’t had a trick-or-treater at my door in years. I miss seeing cute kids in even cuter costumes. I miss giving out chocolate, knowing it may be the only candy that doesn’t get thrown away later. But alas, I live in the mountains. Not many people live in neighborhoods, and those that do have an “organized community,” don’t have walkable streets. We buy 4-wheel drive vehicles because we actually need them. Our kids go downtown and trick or treat on Main Street. No joke. So, I have to get in the spirit other ways. I think this next Call is a great start. Take a look…

judgement and
JUNK

I write a whole lot of crap about food. Most of it is just an off the cuff note about whatever is going on in my kitchen. But it is NEVER meant as a judgment about the way YOU eat. One of FB friends updated her status yesterday with a comment about how people who eat cheese, fruit and veggies cold, as opposed to room temp, have clearly given up on life and are just eating garbage. Really? I am sorry my cold strawberry has flagged me as a useless garbage eater. So, I want to be clear. No judgement from me. Do I want you to eat creme-filled snack cakes? No. Do I love you any less for it? No, I’m just a little jealous. This next Call is an for an all hung exhibit. No judgement there either…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art via Post for a Mail Art exhibit, book and website. There is no entry fee, and it is all hung. If mail art doesn’t excite you, think of it as a way to work through your artist block. Don’t miss this chance to participate…

FISHY

I live in a town with a population of approximately 3500. We have 1 zip code & area code, 1 post office, and…one grocery store. Luckily, the popularity of my hometown with tourists affords a few luxuries like a recently renovated produce and seafood section in our lone grocery store. I bought salmon there last week, and it came wrapped in paper. Paper. Lovely. Thank you for not adding another piece of plastic wrap to my grocery cart. There is a time and place for paper, and this next Call would be another of them. Take a look…

GLASS HOUSES

In the end, glassware is always the workhorse in my kitchen. From ramekins and measuring cups for ingredients, mixing bowls for pastry, lasagna and pie pans for casseroles and quiches.

GOURMET

I had another Jetsons dream. This one involved me in my futuristic kitchen that was equipped with completely mobile gadgetry. I could sit or stand in one place and everything would come to me as I needed it just by thinking it. Is it telling that I even dream about my own laziness? Maybe instead of my laziness, it was just a premonition of a design for this next Call. So cool…

Check out this Call for Entries from Dreams by Machine (Ventura, CA) for Opulent Mobility. I rarely get to describe a Call as unique and even more rarely get to publish that there is no entry fee; but, this Call is both. Don’t miss this winning combination…

HOLD THE MILK
please

Even my dogs have become finicky eaters. They have always been Milk-Bone® kind of dogs. But it seems that lately they have started turning up their nose to their usual treats. I’ve tried peanut butter flavored and beef basted with no results. I already bake a lot of foods from scratch for my family, and I fear dog treats may get added to the list soon. If I am going to make treats, I’d rather make them for the hard working pups involved with this next call instead of my spoiled brats. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Boxed In, an exhibit that serves as a fundraiser for Sam’s Voice which helps fund Autism service dogs for families. I know you get asked to donate all of the time; so, I will break this down simply: no entry fee, cash prizes & donation of work. If your life has been touched by autism, this is ideal for lightweight, lower material cost artwork (photography, drawing, illustration, printmaking, etc). Please consider participating…
