CALL for ENTRIES: Axis 12th National

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the 12th Annual National Juried Exhibition from the Axis Gallery! penny FOODS

Have you noticed that the only a handful of foods are regularly sold in dozens.  Eggs & pastries are most common, but there are a few others, like oysters and hot wings.  As I understand it, it started because 12 pence = a shilling, and a shilling was a convenient unit of measure for 12 eggs, a pence per.  This next Call costs more than a shilling to enter, but it is the 12th in the series.  Open to any media…

Check out this Call for Entries from Axis Gallery (Sacramento, CA) for the 12th National Juried Exhibition.  This juror is well-known and, therefore, easy to research.  Take a look…

JUROR:  Founder of the highly controversial Coagula Art Journal, Mat Gleason is an internationally recognized art critic and curator of contemporary art.  Gleason’s sharp analytical tongue and ability to articulate aesthetics served him well in analyzing and critiquing competitive body painting in the Ru Paul-hosted “Skin Wars: Fresh Paint”, the television series where he sat as one of the regular judges in its lone season on network television.

He has lost count of the number of exhibitions he has curated and while blogging, writing about art and continuing to publish a milder print version of his magazine, operates Coagula Curatorial, his gallery of contemporary art on Chung King Road in L.A.’s Chinatown. A southern California native who hates all of the Bay Area’s sports teams, especially the A’s, he lives with his wife (artist Leigh Salgado) and dog (Aybar) near the city of Vernon, just south of Downtown L.A.

AWARDS:  Cash awards and a printed exhibition catalogue.

CALL for ENTRIES: Flowers, Plants & Gardens

Learn more about the Flowers, Plants and Gardens exhibit from Art-competition net!aztec TEA

We move to our “clean slate” apartment in about 6 weeks.  It has a good-size front porch but almost no yard.  The only green in site is a decayed and crumbling stepped flower bed next to the driveway.  I don’t think I can really grow a lot of food, but I have a friend that says she can get me a cut of epazote, a Mexican herb that’s hard to find in these parts.  Maybe if I surround it with marigolds and citronella, I might be able to save it from the bugs & their furrier 4-legged neighbors.  This next Call wants to know about your flowers, plants & gardens.  This is a perennial favorite, ha…

COOKING in paper

I dislike washing dishes, just like everyone else.  I have had a dishwasher for the past 10 years, but I still try to be conservative in usage.   But as of June 1, we are downsizing to an apartment that does not have a dishwasher.  And, while I will still avoid disposables, like paper plates, I am a strong advocate of cooking “en papillote”.  Not only is it a great way to produce tender, flavor-infused dishes, it also produces one less dirty dish.  This next Call also extols the praises of working with paper. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Tiny Monsters

Learn more about the Tiny Monsters exhibit from the FE Gallery in Sacramento, CA! gooseBERRIES

Pineapples are showing up in mass at every grocer right now.  I can’t eat enough to take advantage of the availability, so I was contemplating making jelly or jam.  As you may know, pineapple fights the jelling process, so you have to use nearly twice as much pectin to make it work –which defeats the purpose of buying on sale.  Maybe I can freeze the cleaned pineapple and wait for gooseberries come into season.  These little treasures have huge amounts of pectin and can be made into jelly without ANY additional pectin.  This next Call wants your little treasures, but they must be monstrous…

I am what I am, and this week, I am a spinach lover.  To be honest, I am a spinach lover every week, but this week I have had spinach quiche & spinach salad without a wilted leaf to be seen.  Because of the popularity of aquaponics and the number of artisan growers in my area, every day is spinach season for me (happy dance), but this next Call just has a few more days left.  Don’t miss this deadline…

There is a fine line between golden goodness & fried brown sameness.  I have an aunt who won’t eat “lacy” eggs or “dirty” biscuits, her phraseology for anything browned, but she only eats meats well done. (Go figure.)  Personally, I love a butter browned anything, but I shy away from the monotony of bread-crumb brown.  This next Call wants your monotone work –food references not required.  Take a look…

Anchovy paste is a standard item in my pantry, but it’s because I have a Caesar salad addiction.  Otherwise, I don’t know a single person that eats anchovies outside of my family.  Then, I was sitting in a pizza joint in Hendersonville, NC when I heard someone say, “I’m here for the anchovy, black olive pie.”  See, I am not alone –never alone.  There are benefits to being alone at times though.  This next Call is the perfect opportunity to go solo.  Don’t miss this chance…

“No, I don’t want to be absolument moderne.” —Mauro De Giorgi

•

I struggle with modern definitions of success & ambition.  My desires of and contributions to this world do not often equate a standard path in a world driven by capitalism.  This isn’t a political statement about capitalism.  It a personal statement of awareness of both my talents and my shortcomings.  And, I’m okay with that.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mauro De Giorgi, finds his conflict with modern unwavering faith in technology.  That conflict has driven him deeply into connection through process.  I appreciate the lessons taught & learned.  Thank you, Mauro.
