CALL for ENTRIES: Like a Tom Waits Song

Posted on February 6, 2014February 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sometimes an EGG
is more than an EGG

The creative are often food obsessed. I am not alone. Food is a common experience for us all, but I find that creative people tend to purposefully try to indulge all the senses at once–musicians, writers, dancers AND visual artists. So how perfect is this next Call that centers around a slightly food-obsessed musician. If you don’t know his work (Eggs & Sausage is one of my favorites, but Chocolate Jesus was infamously controversial), do your homework…you won’t be sorry.

Check out of this Call for Entries from the Arc Studios & Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Like a Tom Waits Song. This is one of the most unique themes I have ever published. Fascinating…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Like a Tom Waits Song

This open call is for all artists who have found themselves deeply moved, enraptured, bemused or inspired by Tom Waits. Has his music ever transported you to a dusty desert town or an abandoned train yard or a glowing, gritty neon rainy city street filled with steam? Listening to his music do you come away from the experience with a flash of inspiration embodying his lyrics? Like Tom Waits, do you tell tall tales and spin yarns with your work?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all US artists

MEDIA: Sculpture, painting, drawing, photo, printmaking, ceramics, assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art & artist books. This exhibition cannot accept jewelry, video, film, performance art, installation and works requiring an external electrical source.

DEADLINE: February 23rd, 2014

NOTIFICATION: March 28, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3

JUROR: graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1977. Her background as an artist has assisted in her understanding of the perspectives and idiosyncrasies of the art world.

For over twenty-five years the Andrea Schwartz Gallery has supported work that is challenging and at the forefront of contemporary practice, representing a select group of mid-career artists from the Bay Area and throughout the country. The range of work includes paintings, works on paper, photography and sculpture.

AWARDS: A Juror’s Award ribbon and certificate will be presented to three works that express the most imaginative interpretation of the theme. There are two opportunities to get into this show. The juror will select works that will be exhibited in the Arc Gallery at 1246 Folsom Street and on the Arc On-line Gallery. The juror will also select works that will be shown in the Arc On-line gallery only. This allows for more works to be seen beyond the 1,000 square feet physical limitation of the gallery.

SALES: Arc Gallery receives 40% commission.

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…

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

Food shows have been almost banned on my home television. There are only so many hours in the day, and I can’t possibly keep up with every new cooking method, or you might never receive another Call from me again. I’ve also had to limit the number of art show invitations I accept for the same reason. This next Call will allow you to attend the opening regardless of WHERE you live or how much time you have. Did I mention it is free?

CALL for ENTRIES: Mail Art/Collage Ukraine

all to
PIECES

If I had to give my cooking an art style, it would probably be collage. I used to be a purist, a menu maker, a list writer. Somewhere along the way I began the little-bit-of-this-little-bit-of-that method. Dinner is now determined on whichever protein I thought to thaw out and whichever veggies were freshest, in-season and/or on sale. When I try to make a plan, it never fails that whatever I had planned ends up not sounding like what I really want. So, collage dinners are what we do now; it works for us. This next Call is also about collage. I like this one; take a look for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Tymutopiyapres (Lviv, Ukraine) for Collage Art. There is no entry fee, and if you’re looking for a brick-and-mortar show to add to your resume, this one is all hung. Take a look…

Editor’s note: This was sent to me under the subject line of “Mail Art”; however, I think this is more-accurately an all-hung collage exhibit, but because the expectation is that the majority of exhibitors will be from outside Ukraine, it is being dubbed a Mail Art show. I couldn’t find anything that indicated a postmark requirement or address requirement.

CHEERS
to you

There is very little in this world that I love as much as a glass of wine alongside a freshly-made pate. But red wine decided it didn’t like me a decade ago, and I’ve never been a fan of beef liver. So, what does one do? A beautiful white and a thrifty chicken liver pate. I smell a date night coming in all of this. In the meantime, this next Call offers a business excuse to drink wine. It’s all about the rationalization sometimes…

CALL for MAIL ART: Temporality

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.

2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on January 10, 2014April 24, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014! I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD. There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking. And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists. Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Today we name the
2013 Artist of the Year!

•

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013) ArtAscent.com, and my work ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!! I have a group show in the works coming this Spring (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods? Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you? “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven! I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note: I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle. They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima. I am inspired by your work. It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness. I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship. YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined. She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!

CALL for ENTRIES: Sustainable WEST

Posted on December 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN
is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated. Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods. But, as we work toward designing a kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven? Not so sure. But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call. How about you?

Check out this Call for Entries from Sustainable Silicon Valley for the WEST (Water, Energy, Smart Technology) Summit 2014 (Mountain View, CA). There is no entry fee, so don’t miss this opportunity…

I used to receive food in the mail. In the past, my out-of-state relatives would send me those meat and cheese boxes. You know the ones–processed cheese, Summer sausage, red and white checked box. But, I have convinced them to stop with the weird boxes of food and to start sending me personal hand-written recipes. I haven’t made all of the recipes, but I am more fascinated with them as art than food. This next Call could be your opportunity to mail food, of sorts. Or maybe NOT food…
