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…

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.

BB-A

BB-Q

I’ve been enjoying a Summer of barbeque–tomato-based, mostly, with a dry rub here and there. But, I kind of miss the mustard-based BBQ of South Carolina. And on the even more rare occasion, my thoughts turn to vinegar-based BBQ of North Carolina. It is a lighter, tangy taste than the heavy, pass-the-antacid variety common to most of the South. If you go to the opening for this next Call in NC, be sure to try it. Take a look…

THE NAKED

CHEF

Don’t you love it when a movie or tv show depicts the uninhibited excitement of cooking naked or with nothing but an apron on? Unless you subscribe to a raw food diet, I don’t recommend it.

CALL for ENTRIES: A Bug’s Life

ANTS
in my
pants cans

My kitchen is clean-ish. Can you eat off my floors? Absolutely not. I am pretty good about cleaning as I cook so there isn’t a disaster to clean up afterward. And, crumb-y counters are my pet peeve; so I keep them wiped down. But despite my best efforts, I have an ant problem. I find a dozen or so small black ants on my kitchen counters every time I go in. I’m tempted to incorporate them into my next recipe just to send a message to the rest of their kind. This next Call could be a reason to spare their little lives, or not…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles) for A Bug’s Life. The entry fee is only $25, and the 1650 Gallery also offer free matting and framing (if you stick to their pre-set sizes). Take a closer look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
A Bug’s Life

Ah, the mysterious world of the insect. Some are cute and cuddly, like the furry caterpillar. Some are fierce and scary, wearing their skeletons on the outside to frighten us.

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…

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.

SQUASHED

I think the teenagers that work at my local market think I am the crazy produce lady. It might have something to do with the muttering under my breath when they drop the pineapple on my tomatoes or the fact that I will stand in a longer line to get the cashier that won’t drop a cantaloupe on my cilantro. The muttering prevents me from coming unhinged. The only thing missing from the scenerio is my muttering “whippersnappers,” but I assure you it will show up eventually. Hehe. This next Call wants unhinged in a less curmudgeonly way, I suspect. You decide…

BUMPER CAR

Eating in the car is dangerous. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve done my share of car consumption. The back floorboard of my car looks like a fast food trash can sometimes. But on my way home yesterday, I watched a young woman t-bone a truck with her compact car while munching on a burger. Her view seemed blocked by the wax paper wrapper. I’m just saying, “Be careful out there.” This next Call is another reason to keep your eyes on the street. Great show…

Eye on the Street

Street photographers are guerrilla documentarians. They capture the world as they see it, using small and forgotten moments to present a larger narrative. Themes of class, age, occupation, or background are brought to life by small stories that evoke our shared humanity.

The keen eyes of street photographers see what others take for granted, and depict the richness and variety of our public lives. For Eye on the Street, The Kiernan Gallery seeks street photography in all its forms.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

Menu planning is great in theory. I do it most weeks only to end up picking out dinner much like throwing a dart at a dart board. I open the frig, find a miscellaneous ingredient like fava beans and base an entire meal on it. It is part laziness and part indecisiveness. My taste buds often object to my meal planning. Hmph. What’s a girl to do? I don’t know either. This next Call involves a dARTboard of its own. Take a look…
