CALL for ENTRIES: Cartoon Cult

Posted on November 7, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

CHILDHOOD SQUARED

What food reminds you of childhood? Cookies? Spaghetti? Taco Night? Nope, not for me. For me it is Krystals*. I spent a number of my younger years living alone with my Dad, and he didn’t really cook. So, my childhood was a blur of fast food…Krystal, Del Taco and Farmer John’s Smorgasboard. I am so not making this up BTW. But even though my childhood food memory is Krystal, I still LOVE them as an adult. Much the same with the theme for this next call for entries…

Check out the Call for Entries for Cartoon Cult from The Soundry, a former auto body shop that has been converted into a public coffee shop, art gallery, and shared studio space for artists and musicians. You still love cartoons; you know you do. This show is all hung, and the entry fee is low. All of that equals a great resume builder. Give it a try…

Here’s the Call for Entries for
Cartoon Cult

Cartoon Cult is an art show celebrating contemporary art forms of cartoons, comics, digital animation, illustration, anime, and videogames (emphasis on original characters).

ELIGIBILITY: Cartoon Cult is unjuried.

MEDIA: If you have any questions about what can be included in the show, please email Jennifer or Melissa at The Soundry.

ENTRY FEE: The submission fee is $25 and artists may submit up to 5 pieces. All work must be for sale and ready to hang or display.

DEADLINE: November 19, 2010

DELIVERY: November 23 – 30, 2010

The Gallery at the Soundry

The gallery at The Soundry occupies about one quarter of their total space. It’s a rough-around-the-edges kind of space with good lighting and comfortable seating.

They hang their member’s artwork in this area and offer it for sale. This is the place to go in Vienna, Virginia if you’re looking for work from emerging artists, or if you just want to kick back, sip a latte, and take in some new sights.

The artwork in the gallery changes regularly, and a large portion of their gallery space is set aside for installation works.

The garage atmosphere and undergound, working-studio feel give visitors an experience they’re guaranteed not to find anywhere in the region.

Make sure you hurry:

Submissions are due by November 19, 2010.

Delivery of art work is due to The Soundry by November 23 – 30, 2010.

CRACKBERRY

I am rarely more than 10 feet from my BlackBerry. I am not proud of it, but it IS a fact. I am not alone…this I know. Granted, I no longer text while driving, but sometimes it takes me 3x longer to get where I’m going because of the sheer volume of times I have to stop to email, text, tweet…and take pictures.

Check out this all-hung Call for Entries for the National Cell Phone Photography Exhibition at the Southeastern Contemporary Art Gallery at Southeastern Louisiana University. An academic show is always a great resume builder (yes, even the all hung variety), and best of all…NO ENTRY FEE. Don’t miss this great opportunity to build your resume…

FEATURED ARTIST: Kara Jansson Kovacev

Posted on November 11, 2009November 11, 2009 by R.L. Gibson

New Media Art. We do have to talk about it, eventually. We’re talking about it today because of the iPhone drawings of Kara Jansson Kovacev.

I’m a fan of new media art. I like the idea of expanding the context in which art is both created and experienced. Some folks don’t like new media art for the same reasons your parents don’t like the music you listen to…they don’t get it or can’t dance to it. I find most opponents of new media art are traditional media artists. To those artists, I offer this old cliche…someone else’s success does not diminish your own accomplishments. Or, get over it already. Check out what other are saying about iPhone Drawings.

For those of you that read this blog for the art and not the art deadlines, here’s a wiki definition of new media art:

New media art is a genre that encompasses artworks created with new media technologies, including digital art, computer graphics, computer animation, virtual art, Internet art, interactive art technologies, computer robotics, and art as biotechnology. The term differentiates itself by its resulting cultural objects and social events, which can be seen in opposition to those deriving from old visual arts (i.e. traditional painting, sculpture, etc.)

This concern with medium is a key feature of much contemporary art and indeed many art schools and major Universities now offer majors in “New Genres” or “New Media”.New Media Art often involves interaction between artist and observer. New Media concerns are often derived from the telecommunications, mass media and digital modes of delivery the artworks involve, with practices ranging from conceptual to virtual art, performance to installation.

The “New” in New Media Art comes with it’s own set of challenges, but mainly the issues of exhibition, sales, and archiving. Galleries are opening up to new media as demand grows. Sales always follow demand. And archiving? Well, I don’t subscribe to the theory that all art should be permanent. I realize curators roll their eyes everytime I utter that sentence, but just because you can eat a Peep doesn’t make art made of it less valid. End of sermon.

Kara Jansson Kovachev is originally from Cape Cod, MA and has lived and shown her work in various locations around New York City since 1996. Kovachev also paints, collages, makes puppets and particpates in toy theatre. Her toy theater piece “The Renovation”was shown at the Great Small Works 8th International Toy Theater Festival and Temporary Toy Theater Museum at St. Ann’s Warehouse.
