MOO AT ME

I one of those folks that orders RARE beef and expects it to actually BE rare. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to eat pork, beef or lamb anything other than rare or medium rare. But, I have been outdone. Have you heard about the guy that has eaten nothing but raw or rotten meat for the last five years? OMG, that’s walking a little too far on the dark side for me. But, this next Call might really be the perfect place to let your dark side hang out. Take a look…

put another log
SHALLOT
on the fire

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch. What is it about being out of town that leads to over-indulgence and gluttony? Maybe I need another treat to figure it out. We’ll call it research, ha. Luckily, this next Call takes all interpretations of “figure,” even the vacation version. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Activate Market Street

Posted on August 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

table for 3500
PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers. One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director. I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500). Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years. I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities. Really. This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer. Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Gallery Aferro (Newark, NJ) and RBH Group for Activate: Market Street. This is a very inexpensive ($5 US) opportunity to truly get public art exposure. So cool…

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

Posted on July 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

VOLUMES
of food

I have drafted a dozen cookbooks in my head. They are usually inspired by whatever food eccentricity I am dwelling on at the moment. But they always have their roots in momentary excitement as opposed to being deep-rooted in a true philosophy about food. Maybe if I ever find myself, a cookbook will make it out of the draft stage. In the meantime, my roots will have to be of the vegetable variety. This next Call want to explore YOUR feelings on roots, or the lack thereof…

Check out this Call for Entries from DRAFTspace (NY, NY) for Rootlessness, a two-part themed exhibit. Selected artists will exhibit their solo exhibitions in the street-level pop-up space on Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side gallery district. This is a great chance for that New York opening you’ve always wanted…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

The exhibition series will consist of two sections – Works on Paper and Works on Space – and one exhibition proposal for each section will be chosen and realized on New York’s Lower East Side.

NY has historically been home to ethnically diverse immigrants, inspiring feelings and experiences related to migration, temporality, transformation, assimilation, or conflict. DRAFTspace is hosting this exhibition series to provoke attention and discussion about this sense of rootlessness. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively.

The theme of rootlessness is connected to the unique space setup and location. The exhibit will not be held in a permanent gallery space. Instead, it will temporarily occupy a street-level vacant retail space that will be consecutively transformed to fit the different identity and characteristics of each exhibition.

The Lower East Side where this event will take place has long been an immigrant neighborhood and has seen a series of immigrant communities pass through it. The area has undergone gentrification, starting in the mid-2000s and has since become home to upscale boutiques and numerous contemporary art galleries.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, or Illustration for “Works on Paper” section OR Sculpture or Site-Specific Mixed Media Installations for “Works on Space” section

DEADLINE: August 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 per entry for up to 10 images

AWARDS: $500 Cash Prize & Solo Exhibition. The artist of each selected proposal will receive a $500 cash prize and his or her solo exhibition proposal will be realized.

CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware 2013

Posted on July 17, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

PURELY PEPPERED
creativity

In the ongoing saga of kitchen creativity, my most recent attempt at mint chocolate chip went a little off course. Who new 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract would be too much in 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream. Just trust me on this one. I suppose this was a drawback to complete kitchen freedom, ha. May this next Call for creative freedom be more successful for you than my mint ice cream experiment. It isn’t just for filmmakers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mono No Aware. This is a really cool FREE way to stretch your creative streak even if film is not your normal media. Be sure to investigate this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Mono No Aware 2013

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

Posted on June 3, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DON’T BE BLUE,
crabs or not

Not many people know I was born in Florida. I spent my youngest years with a chicken leg on a string tied to my big toe trying to lure blue crabs for dinner. Florida reminds me of blue crab. But thanks to the next Call, lots of people will think of Florida, or at least Fort Lauderdale, for more than spring break and blue crabs. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Heroes Surround Us

SPINACH!
I want spinach

I want to plant salad greens TODAY, but my husband keeps reminding me that the snow is probably not over for the season and that it got down to 29 degrees last night. I love planting salad greens because they are so temporary. They are seeds one day and less than 6 weeks later they are on my dinner table. I can replant, or I can plant something else. This next show deals with the temporal nature of art and heroes. I love this show…
