NOT CORN

What’s behind the naming of state foods?  The obvious answer is that it honors a crop vital to a state’s economy and/or identity, right?  Wisconsin has milk. Florida has oranges.  And so on.  But what about the dozen or so U.S. states that does not claim a state food.  Iowa has a state rock (the geode) but no state food.  If you have any idea why, I’d love to know.  In the meantime, here’s a Call from an arts organization that Iowa should be proud to claim.  Investigate…

The creativity of food preparation has fundamentally changed on a mainstream level in the past 20 years.  A larger segment of the population cooks with abandon now.  The great divide between foods destined to be either savory or sweet seems to have slowly disappeared.  Chocolate is as likely to show up in an entree as bacon is to show up in a dessert.  This next Call encourages you to explore and challenge boundaries presented by both materials & concepts.  Take a look…

TREATS

I am fascinated by small food & small restaurants.  There is something special about the smallest of goodies served in the smallest of places.  One automatically assumes great care has been taken because you have less real estate literally & figuratively to make an impression.  Sel et Gras in NYC was always on my list to try, but I heard it closed.  Do you have any suggestions I should try?  I suggest you  take part in this next study in tiny art.  This could be a good opportunity for some of you.

MENU

Frequently, the most memorable kitchen creations are happy accidents.  As much as I love a list, theme and a plan, sometimes I find myself in a situation that forces me to create a masterpiece from what I have on hand or try something new on the spur of the moment.  My favorite chicken-cheddar-broccoli soup came about as a necessary use of what I could find in the frig.  Now it is a winter menu staple in our house. This next Call is a show that is both un-juried & un-curated, but I KNOW this organization.  It will definitely be a show not to be missed, and you can be a part of it.  Please investigate this one…

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am an emotional eater.  I own it most days.  I have learned to indulge the tendency with care.  Potato chips and dip are fine after an occasional day of stress as long as it isn’t a daily ritual.  Also, I’ve learned to be more discerning about the potato chips and dip I chose, of course.  I find that my celebration eating is far worse than my stress eating though.  I am wishing lots of celebration cupcakes for the five of my readers (fingers crossed) that make the cut for this next Call.  Take a look…

I spent the majority of my life hating beets, but I was so very wrong.  They are my favorite color on the planet; that should have been my first hint.  The beautiful shade of purplish-red found in sugar beets was the first clue that they held an earthly luscious quality not to be missed.  Roasted or pickled, warmed or chilled, I can’t get enough of them now.  This next Call wants to know all you love about hue and saturation.  Let them see your best…

JUROR:  Lynda Schlosberg is a Boston-based abstract artist who creates intricate and process-oriented paintings that are constructed using a series of interwoven layers of meticulous repeating patterns of dots, dashes, and grids using highly saturated, vibrant and illusory colors. It is through her skillful utilization of color theory and pattern that she constructs spatial illusions that expand and recede simultaneously, when viewed, fully exercise the mind and the eye.

Schlosberg received her MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, and her BFA from Ohio University College of Art. She is represented by Susan Maasch Fine Art in Portland, ME and by Kingston Gallery in Boston. She has recently partnered with the non-profit Art in Giving. She maintains a studio in Waltham, MA.

FOOD

I never thought about what astronauts ate when I was little, but I was disturbed that all they had to drink was Tang–or so I thought, ha.  Gone are the days of strictly canned or freeze-dried foods in space.  Now, those travelers have fresh fruits, vegetables and even waffles and scones.  But, I think being faced with irradiated meat might make me a vegetarian in short order.  This next Call contemplates the entirety of the cosmos, not just the menu.  Investigate!

Cosmos

 

This exhibit invites artists to envision the mysteries of the universe, both scientific and fantastical, theoretical and fictional, real and imagined.  How do artists render the work of scientists, authors, explorers, astronomers, cartoonists, Trekkies, LARPers, astrologers, and philosophers? This exhibit embraces not only what science has revealed about space, but what humans have imagined about the cosmos.  From the results of scientific inquiry to the creative minds of science fiction authors and fans, this exhibit celebrates how space has stimulated human understanding and creativity.  From the big bang theory to worm holes and warp speed, artists are invited to submit works that bring to life what we know of space and what we imagine.  The goal is to assemble a vibrant and diverse selection of works that speak to our fascination with the cosmos.  –from prospectus

I am queen of menu planning.  Every once in a while I decide to off planning for just winging it.  Well, that never lasts.  Now that we are planning for a farm of our own, I am considering the idea of buying protein for the entire year from a local rancher–like a whole cow.  The challenge would be to space out the protein so we are not forced to eat eggs only for the last 3 months of the year.  I suspect it will end in a lessened consumption of meat, but we’ll see.  This next Call is not unlike menu planning for a year at the time.  Please DO NOT MISS this chance…
