CALL for ENTRIES: We Love People

Learn more about the We Love People exhibit from Atelier Alen!so so many EGGS

We eat dozens & dozens of eggs each month. It would be easy to assume that when we’re out, we’d avoid them.  That’s not really the case.  I have them fried, over-medium, after late night outings, take them cold & hard-boiled to picnics or on early mornings.  And on my recent stop at Sugar Mama’s, a little bakery/bar combo, in Knoxville, I was treated to “German Eggs”.  Think of it as a fluffy egg bake or like a crustless quiche.  Delicious.  (Funny enough, German tourists suggested we Google “german eggs slang”. Funny.)  This Call hails from Munich, but doesn’t require the inclusion of eggs.  Great international show opportunity…

what a peach APRICOT

I often feel indignant about crap people are willing to eat.  Yes, it’s a little judge-y.  But, there are so many people worldwide without the access to healthy food, so I find myself impatient when people take it for granted.  But, I digress.  My husband recently enjoyed making fun of the newly-acquired fact that the only apricots I have ever eaten have been dried or a part of a sauce or jam.  My husband insisted we buy a fresh apricot, and, apparently, it is on the menu as a part of my breakfast in the morning. I’m not opposed; it just hasn’t ever been a thing.  There is a first for everything, right? This Call is a first for this brand new gallery.  Investigate this artist-run space…

ARTIST of the DAY: Gehard Demetz

sadness & SILENCE

The loss & violence in Orlando this week is unbearable.  I was once watching an interview with today’s artist in which he was trying to speak to his inspiration, his inner voice.  He said,”I represent this world, this culture.”  I heard this and wondered about the world of which he spoke, this world of children in arresting situations, and hoped his work wasn’t REALLY representative of the world.  I don’t want the world to be that painful, that complicated.  But it is.  I love this work.  I will always love this work.  Today, I wish it didn’t feels quite so real. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gehard Demetz has put a face on our world today.  (continues below)

I grow basil in most of the window sills in my home for just one purpose –making homemade pesto.  I can’t grow much outdoors due to the bears and turkey and wild pigs (no, really).  So, my windowsills stay full.  I haven’t reaped much yet this year, and my stash of pesto is gone.  Sad.  But as I was excavating my freezer to avoid going to the grocery before dinner, I found a lone artifact– a bag of frozen basil large enough for a side dish.  This next Call is interested in YOUR artifacts.  Take a look…

SWEET streets

Have you ever attended a fast food wedding?  I kinda have.  At a recent wedding, the bride & groom opted for an outdoor ceremony & reception.  The reception was catered… by a sweet food truck featuring a custom French menu including pastries in lieu of a wedding cake.  It was priceless.  They met in Paris; they fell in love under a lamppost, street food in hand.  Sweet & from the street, just like this next call.

“Ahh, the street. That intoxicating cocktail of humanity. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the majesty of New York’s Fifth Ave or the Champ de Elysee to the humblest backstreet and alley.

entirely DRINKABLE

I lived in the USVI for a couple of years, and my house used only cistern water.   Rainfall kept the supply flowing for most of the year, but a couple of months prior to the rainy season we’d have to pay to have the cistern fill… about $500.  That was 20 years ago.  I try to internalize this memory every time I pay my $85 water bill.  Well, that and I can actually cook with the tap water at my current home.  Back then the hashtag would have been #dontlookinthebottomofcistern or #youdontwanttoknow.  This next call is all about the water, and there are no restriction on the orgin of YOUR water.  Investigate…

ARTIST of the DAY: Vivienne Strauss

duck duck GOOSE

When I came home from the hospital with my bouncing baby boy so many years ago, I found a bottle of cold duck in my fridge –a gift from my mother.  Not champagne.  Cold Duck.  This particular variety was a blend of port & champagne.  I never asked her why, and I’ve never had it since.  But, after a pregnancy free from alcohol for both myself and my husband, it only took a glass a piece to make us a little giddy and able to let go of the fears and stress of being a new parent, if only for an hour or so.  It is a fond, silly memory that I treasure.  When I came across this work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Vivienne Strauss, it put a smile on my face.  The perfect complement. (continues below)

"Cold duck" (collage & embroidery on paper) by Vivienne Strauss
“Cold duck” (collage & embroidery on paper) by Vivienne Strauss

A self-taught painter with a background in Philosophy, Vivienne Strauss works predominately in oil and watercolor. Her paintings often migrating around the humor of being human – shared dejection, things left unsaid, false arrogance, disbelief, inspired irony. She is an observer and chronicler, in the actual world in which she exists and in the world of characters she creates, exposing, with precise wit, the subterranean elements lying in wait beneath the deceptively quotidian.
