I love non-traditional foods and flavors.  I recently took a guided hike with A Walk in the Woods where we tasted everything from spicebush (pictured left) to nature’s toothbrush, the birch twig.  But, I suppose most non-traditional foods are not non-traditional to someone somewhere.  It is all a matter of perspective.  This Call for Entries is part of an on-going effort on the part of the gallery to use non-traditional curators.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, NY for Illegitimate & Herstorical.  Enter artwork of any media for $30 for FOUR  images by June 15, 2011.  Take a chance…

CALL FOR ENTRIES: At Her Age

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Click to Subscribe to this Blog by Email!I am rapidly approaching 40, and I don’t like it.

I have alot to say about aging, but it hasn’t come out in my artwork yet.  I am afraid to open that proverbial can of worms for fear of spiralling into my own narcissitic world of self-indulgent “Oh Woe is Me” work that will permanently end my ability to produce work of any sort of value aside from auto-biographical.  Yep, issues.  Moving on…

I have found an opportunity to say something about my aging in a project-oriented way that might help restrain my tendancy for getting carried away, and I thought you might like it too.

“At Her Age”
an exhibition on Women, Sex and Age
curated by Martha Wilson, artist and founder of Franklin Furnace

On Air: The Official Blog of the A.I.R. GalleryA.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce CURRENTS, a timely and innovative exhibition series. Each year the CURRENTS exhibit will address an issue that warrants expanded critical attention in the art world.

A.I.R. will invite established and non-traditional curators (artists, activists, writers, poets) to select the works to be exhibited with the theme designed as a collaboration between the curator and the gallery.

This new opportunity is open to all self-identified women artists worldwide and will be curated through an open call and through invitations by the curator.

For the inaugural CURRENTS exhibit, Martha Wilson will curate, “At Her Age,” an exhibit on Women, Age and Sex.

“At Her Age” will examine how women at any period in their life, old or young, view their changing bodies.

Visit MarthaWilson.comQuestions to be addressed could be:

“How does age affect experiencing one’s sexual/sensual life?”

“How age impacts one’s evolving personal and social relationships?”

While older women may be perceived by others as inconsequential or asexual, they personally experience increasing knowledge of themselves.

Younger women may experience curiosity/fear/pleasure about the changes in their own bodies due to age.

A.I.R. Gallery is looking for artwork, to be selected by Martha Wilson, that addresses age and sex as part of an evolutionary process.
