TOMATOES
extra fructose?

I had brown tomatoes at dinner tonight, and they were NOT rotten. They were Kumatoes–a hybrid developed in Spain. I noted they were a touch sweeter, but less exotic tasting than they appeared. But, I can’t resist a weird fruit or vegetable, so I tried them as a part of a Caprese Salad. Pretty, but forgettable. This next exhibit is all about Color as well; just make sure you don’t send pretty-but-forgettable work. Take a look…

Why RED? Red is the warmest and most striking of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males.

Red is Tuesday’s color. Red roses symbolize passionate love. Red is the color of Mars. Red is the color of blood with strong symbolism as life and vitality. And we believe artists who work in RED understand the power of creating art within shades of red. Here’s hoping to catch you RedHanded! –from the prospectus

A hummus monster lives at my house. He can go through a tub of hummus a day with corn chips, carrots, pork rinds; it matters not. We often make something instead of buying it to reduce the amount of ingredients and unpronounceable crap in our food.

FIRED UP

How did grilling become the domain of men in TV commercial land? Is it the fire? If yes, how is fire masculine? Is it just the grilling of meat specifically, or is it equally masculine to grill eggplant? How do these idiotic ideas start? We’ll this next Call is looking for explorations of what it means to be male–even the stereotypes. So, fire up your grill and serve them a hot one…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for XY. Low entry ($24) plus free matting & framing. I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES: XY

Photographs of the strengths and virtues of masculinity coupled with the Achilles’ heel of meeting these stereotypes.

Do all men have power? Do all men want power? Is masculinity the same in every culture and time period? Does the performance of masculinity depend on the categories of race, class, and sexuality? The answer to the first three questions is a resounding no, while the answer both to the fourth one is a clear yes.

Darkroom Gallery is calling for photographs that explore the field of cultural, social, historical, political, psychological, economic, and artistic constructions of masculinity. What makes something or someone “male”? These definitions change with communities across the world and throughout history. There is a tense and complex relationship between hegemonic masculinities & subordinate masculinities. Throughout history, men have paid a steep price for not adhering to, or consciously resisting, stereotypical masculine models. Let’s remember sex and gender are separate entities.

Wanted are images interrogating these male ideals: photographs of warriors, fathers, of wimps and muscle men. Little boys can be “snakes and snails and puppy dog tails” but they can also love the color pink. Inanimate objects can imply such meanings. In the wake of patriarchal fanfare show us the vulnerability, gentleness and supple subtleties behind what is means to inhibit/exhibit being “male”. — from darkroomgallery.com
