little piece of
my heart

I am craving tapas, and I am too lazy to do it myself.  I love the idea of little tidbits of a large variety of foods from savory to sweet.  I also love the sharing that is inherent in this sort of eating.  It always feels like we are sharing a chef’s whole portfolio of tricks and treats with those we love the most.  This next Call will allow you to show YOUR whole portfolio, and I am happy to share it with my readers…the ones I love most.  Too sappy for Thursday; I know…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Portfolio Show from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The is about a third lower this year than last.  So this is an excellent opportunity to show a full body of work for not much more than the average 3 image submission. If the shoe fits…

Portfolio Show

 

Every photograph tells a story. When part of a body of work, the photograph takes on a new meaning, becoming part of a bigger and more complete narrative. A portfolio allows the photographer to explore the complexities of their subject, providing context that gives it richness and meaning greater than the sum of its parts. The Kiernan Gallery is pleased to announce its second annual portfolio showcase, juried by renowned photography critic Vicki Goldberg.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE:  May 23, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Approx. 8 days after deadline.

ENTRY FEE:  $50 for 10 – 15 images

Learn more from the Kiernan Gallery!JUROR:  Vicki Goldberg, one of the leading voices in the field of photography criticism, wrote about photography for the New York Times for thirteen years and has published several books and the texts for more than twenty-five photographic monographs.  One review of her latest book, The White House: The President’s Home in Photographs and History, called it “a lovely way to invite people who are a little wobbly on their White House and presidential history to shore up some of their weaknesses, while learning a thing or two about how the medium of photography has shaped our identity and national perspective.”

Goldberg has received numerous awards for writing, including the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award, the Royal Society’s Dudley Johnston Award, and the Long Chen Cup (China).  Ms. Goldberg, who has taught courses at the Institute of Fine Arts in New York, the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, the Rhode Island School of Design and the Art Institute of Boston, lectures internationally and writes on photography for various magazines.

AWARDS:  For this exhibition, four photographers will be selected to show their complete bodies of work.

SALES:  Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.

I am suspicious of any restaurant called Mom’s or Pop’s.  Let’s face it, they are setting themselves up for failure.  I promise you, Mom’s Diner’s biscuits will not taste like my Mom’s biscuits.  And Pop’s Italian won’t taste like your Pop’s meatballs.  But, I get it.  There is comfort in the familiar.  This next Call has a little something familiar to my readers.  Take a look…

I am consistently amused by product names.  It comes from all the years of marketing.  When I saw the first commercial for belVita, I thought, “Really?

I’ve never been a coffee drinker Well, I used to submit to occasional peer pressure in social situations.  Wait, that didn’t sound like I was talking about coffee did it?  I probably have not had coffee, or any of its infinite variations, in over 10 years.  Nope, I am really not kidding.  I used to have my morning caffeine via a diet soft drink, but now I often drink the caffeine-free variety…if at all.  I have friends that cannot comprehend how I function without coffee or caffeine.  I dunno.  This next Call celebrates the morning coffee ritual.  Be careful, contents may be hot…

We don’t have leftovers at our house.  Any additional food that isn’t scarfed up by my ravenous 13-year-old or my string-bean skinny husband ends up being eaten as a lunch within a couple of days or as an additional ingredient in dinner that week.  I’m not sure why people object to leftovers so much.  Maybe it is a marketing problem.  We should take a nod from the British and start giving dishes made from leftovers great names like Bubble and Squeak.  This next Call is your chance to have a showing in London.  Take a look…

Louis Singh says, “St Ives in the 1970s was a somewhat lazier place than today. Late morning deals were customarily made with cigarette in one hand and glass of sherry in the other. Back then my father had the Wills Lane gallery which ensured my mind was constantly flooded with images of the St Ives School as soon as my eyes had opened.

“When I was ten my parents opened the Beaux Arts gallery in Bath which continued to nurture these Cornish roots. These days with a sister gallery in London, minus the sherry, not much has changed. I busy myself by keeping the gallery from growing old by steering some youth and raw contemporary talent, towards its doors.”

I like simple foods.  As I get older, I cook and eat fewer and fewer complicated recipes and foods.  I have come to appreciate the individual flavors of foods.  Dinner at my house is frequently a small cut of beef, chicken or fish with two oven roasted veggies on the side.  Simple.  Fewer and fewer sauces.  But, then again, I prefer simplicity in a lot of ways.  I rarely even wear prints unless they are simple geometrics.  This next call makes a geometric impact for a great end look and mission.  Please give this opportunity some serious thought…
