CALL for ENTRIES: Fight or Flight

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Fight or Flight exhibit from The Painting Center!FOOD anyone?

I received more “why food?” inquiries this week.  Because.  That’s the short answer.  Specifically I had someone to challenge the relevancy of a food theme with all that is going on politically in the U.S.  Long Answer, well, food IS political, and global. (Reminder, the world is larger than the U.S.)  Regulations governing food safety couldn’t be more political. Quinoa and milk and coffee and avocados, political. Choosing the source of your food and having confidence the quality of your options is all about politics and privilege.  I love food.  AAAD will continue to celebrate food.  We all grow and buy and cook and serve in reaction to our experiences of the world around us.  We act and react, indulge and temper, daily.  This next Call wants your reaction to current events.  Take a look…

“Looking back to specific artists’ reactions to unsettled times, there are Picasso’s Guernica & Gerhard Richter’s cycle of paintings October 18, 1977. On the other hand, Matisse created his joyful collaged paper cutouts for his Jazz series during World War II in France, and Jackson Pollock’s poured paintings were created in the 1950s during the McCarthy era. Creativity can feed off the inspiration of current events and/or a personal vision. We are looking for artists’ responses to these times in which we live, in 2017.” –thepaintingcenter.org

“I like to live in that very fluid space between painting, sculpture, & printmaking, and the idea of an obsessively ritualized process is still very prominent in the work.” —Margery Amdur

•

Some people are all about intent and just work through the process.  I always have intent, but I do love process.  When I saw the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Margery Amdur, I immediately thought, “show the #wip pics”.  (They are some on Instagram, BTW.)  Celebrate the work, the making of the work, the result of the work.  Just celebrate.

CALL for ENTRIES: Fairies in the Garden

Learn more about the Fairies in the Garden exhibit at Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center!food for FAIRIES

My grandmother loved fairy food.  She would boil sugar and vinegar together for what felt like forever (15 minutes) and then add baking soda at the last minute.  Magically, it seemed, the concoction would turn almost orange.  Once cooled, it had this beautifully buttery flavor.  Sugar + vinegar = fairy food.  Try it.  In the meantime, this next Call is all about the fairies.  Maybe a fairy kitchen?  This one is creative fun…

“It’s what happens between two sets of eyes. How you look at things and how you believe you are looked at by things.  It’s all about power. Voyeurs and viewers are not innocent.  You have a responsibility as a witness.” —Claire Tabouret

•

Whether you act or don’t act, you are responsible.  You are not absolved because you are merely a witness.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Claire Tabouret‘s work from the series Voyeur vs. Viewer illustrates that visual, that face, that personal acknowledgement of culpability.  Portraiture wins.

Learn more about the Jonesborough Open Juried Art Exhibit from the Mary B Martin Program for the Arts! more than CORN

Appalachian cuisine is a “new” thing in food circles.  But it isn’t. Everyone carries their own baggage about regional foods.  When I was little, if you referred to mountain food, fried chicken would be hailed as the prime example.  Then with the legalization of moonshine, everyone seems to think the local fare is all about corn whiskey and cornbread.  It is all more complicated than that, I promise.  What if food, in concert with art and culture are THE answer for Appalachian economic recovery?  This next Call offers an art opportunity in Appalachia.  This is a beautiful venue…

“I’m drawn to the endless geometry, structure and sometimes lack of order of the urban environment and I think that’s where my ideas begin.” —Tim Hallinan

•

Again I contemplate beginnings.  I am a believer in being a professional beginner.  It is never too late to begin again.  When I stumbled across the statement of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Tim Hallinan, his “I think that’s where my ideas begin” struck a chord with me.  Maybe I should examine my re-starts and points of departure for patterns.  Or maybe not.

Another reminder to be inspired by your environment comes from AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Tim Hallinan!

CALL for ENTRIES: Photo Grants

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

MENU starts

Every meal needs a start point, a launch pad of sorts.  That start is often inspired by a random item that catches my eye in the pantry.  Black-eyed peas become the start for hoppin’-john-inspired tamales.  Corn sometimes inspires chowder while blueberries end up in pancakes.  This next Call offers two opportunities, one to help you launch your project or another to help develop an existing project.  The deadlines if fast approaching so take a look today!

GREENS are the new black

The greens are emerging.  Many of you know that I live in Gatlinburg and wildfires recently swept the area.  Firefighters stopped the fire a mere 6′ from my doorstep.  The forest surround my home is charred.  But all of this unseasonably warm February weather (76°F today) has prompted the most tender of green leaves and unexpected happy daffodil heads to appear.  It is just another reminder that Spring is around the corner bringing with it the soft first lettuce leaves.  I can’t wait.  This next Call is in search of emerging artists; lettuce need not apply.  Take a look…

Canning food is a time-consuming preparation, but the rewards are huge.  So far, I have managed to shrugged the task off on my mother. Tomatoes, beets & chow chow are my favorites, but eventually she will make me take over.  The last time I canned tomatoes, it resulted in jars exploding in my laundry room.  No amount of time makes makes that mess worth it, but this next Call will buy you 6 months.  Take a look…
