EXTENDED DEADLINE: Love + Lust

Posted on January 14, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

THE BEET
of my heart

Second chances make the world go round. For years I professed a hate for beets and asparagus. I LOVE almost everything edible, but I had bad experiences with these two. In hindsight, my asparagus experience had been of the gray canned variety, and my beets experience had been with the canned pickled variety as a child. I was convinced a while ago to retry FRESH asparagus and now I am addicted. I had a roasted beet and goat cheese salad in Arizona two years ago, and now I keep beets on hand at all times. This next show’s deadline was originally January 10th, but it has been extended to February 12th. Don’t miss your second chance…

Check out this Call for Entries from Open to Interpretation‘s juried book competition Love + Lust. Have your work become the artistic inspiration for a literary masterpiece today! Keeping reading for details…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Open to Interpretation:
Love + Lust

Open to Interpretation is a juried book competition of photography, poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction. Each book begins with a themed call for photos. The chosen photos become the literary inspiration for the writers’ submissions. A book is created that matches each winning photo with two stories or poems that offer different interpretations of the image. The unique collaboration adds new dimensions to both the photos and the written word.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all

MEDIA: Photography

THEME: Love + Lust. Lust is an intense appetite, craving, or untamed desire. We lust for an array of things—money, power, objects, sex, or just living life. Love is a powerful affection or personal attachment and comes in a variety of forms, which can encompass romantic, sexual, platonic, narcissistic, or even religious feelings or attitudes. And sometimes love and lust overlap. What images capture these emotions for you?

DEADLINE: February 12, 2013

NOTIFICATION: March 5, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 for 5, $10 ea. add’l

CALL for ENTRIES: Reflections

Posted on December 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD
for thought

It is that time of year again. Time to reflect upon choices made, good and bad, as well as choices to be made, good and bad. I won’t presume to give you life advice, and there are dozens of sites dedicated to give you advice on how to be a “successful” artist. So, I will only repeat what we all learned in kindergarten. You are what you eat. You are given only one life with which to be creative. Fuel it well and your efforts will be reflected in your work. This next Call will ask you for even more reflection. Investigate this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Smithtown Township Arts Council for Reflections to be exhibited at the Mills Pond House Gallery in St. James, NY. This is such a beautiful place to exhibit your work. Take a closer look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Reflections, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Reflections

Reflection can be either a physical or a psychological phenomenon. Together they evoke the interplay between perception and conception.

Entries will be judged on the originality and insight with which they embody this theme visually in traditional as well as new media. A brief explanation such as might be printed on a label along with the artist’s information can be helpful, but the best work will succeed in conveying meaning by itself. Longer explanations will not be considered. The use of mirrors in the work is permissible but neither necessary, nor necessarily desirable.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists/students enrolled in M.F.A. programs

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: February 1, 2013

NOTIFICATION: February 22, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $45 for up to 3 entries. $35 for STAC member artists.

He was educated at Phillips Andover, Yale (B.A.), Harvard (PhD) and the Institut d’Art et d’Archéologie of the Sorbonne in Paris (license-ès-lettres).

Rubin has taught at Harvard University, Boston University and Princeton University. He is currently Professor of Art History at Stony Brook, where he was department chair for fifteen years.

ground

Food is food, just like people are people. Both food and people are individual, come with their own quirky personalities and some play better with others.

CALL for ENTRIES: 50th at the Masur

Posted on December 2, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LAZY DAYS
of Winter

Chili mac is in the crock pot right now. Mmmhmm, sophisticated. I spend a lot of time talking about gourmet foods, but it is cold and drizzly outside. And since I cannot spend a couple of balmy days in Louisiana soaking up the warm, humid goodness… I made chili mac instead of grilled portobellos with homemade pesto over flax seed, whole wheat pasta. Don’t judge me–or my chili mac. This next Call is enticing me, if only because I am dreaming of attending a Louisiana opening. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Gold

Posted on November 26, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

GOLDEN
taters

Gold has been used to adorn everything, including food, for years. At least once per month, some entertainment magazine show features a sundae with gold leaf that costs $1500+, but there are cheaper ways too, like edible spray paints. But personally, I choose my golden food in a well-roasted Yukon gold potato. Or maybe a baked chicken. This next Call wants to see your take on all things golden. The deadline is a week away…so hurry.

Check out this Call for Entries from Beers Lambert (London) for the Gold exhibit. There is no entry fee, and many of you living stateside probably still need an international show on your resume. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Gold, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Gold

Gold remains an enigma within the history of art and culture, and while much has been analyzed regarding its use, existence, and symbolism in art and culture, any historical discourse regarding the use of gold in art history has remained relatively stagnant in contemporary culture. Still, artists from the Byzantine period to Michelangelo and even Damien Hirst have made countless works with gold as the sole source, means, and directive of the work. Today, however, the use of gold in modern or contemporary art (while prevalent) is often used cheekily, consciously referencing the medium’s historical and overwrought allegorical signifiers, or self-awarely pointing out the kitsch connoted therein.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All media adopts gold as its raison-d’être will be considered, including: two-dimensional, three-dimensional, installation, video, performance, new-media and other traditional and non-traditional media.

DEADLINE: December 3, 2012

NOTIFICATION: It is the applicant’s responsibility to check the site in throughout December and January 2013, when results will be posted online. Only successful applicants will be contacted by email.

ENTRY FEE: None

THE SLEEPY
bird

Thanksgiving marks the end of a turkey-free holiday streak at my house. Until now, I haven’t had part in cooking a turkey in twenty-eight years. No joking. It isn’t that I dislike turkey so much as I believe that there are far better things to eat. My mother prefers maple-glazed ham; I like curry and honey glazed duck. But, my kid wanted turkey. The kid wins this time; the end of an era. This next Call is all about the end. This deadline is right around the corner…

CALL for ENTRIES: 16th Woman Made

Posted on November 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FULLY BAKED!

My son is contemplating going to school to be a pastry chef. I can’t even allow myself to think that it might really happen; he’s only 13. But the most interesting part of this particular career conversation (there have been hundreds) was that he was shocked and relieved to find out that it was OKAY for him to be a boy and want to cook. What? His father has cooked 75% of the meals he has ever eaten. How could he think there would be a gender issue? Bizarre. This next Call does have a bit of a gender issue to be considered. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Octagon Center

Posted on November 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TOUCHDOWN!

To my knowledge, there are no octagon shaped foods–unless you count chocolates that come in an octagon shaped box. However, there are definitely seven-sided foods. Tourné potatoes were a rival to my sanity in cooking school. Two inches long with seven perfectly rounded sides. We weren’t allowed to blunt the ends. They had to be perfectly pointed little oblong taters–nearly football shaped. It still causes me physical pain to even think about them. But they were beautiful. Let’s stick with the octagon, though, like the one in this next Call. Take a look…

SNAP, CRACKLE, POP,

Did you know they make CHOCOLATE Pop Rocks®? I loved Pop Rocks® as a kid, and I love that they were ahead of their time both conceptually and graphically. Although Pop Rocks® hit the market in the mid 1970s, their packaging graphics still echo 1980s pop culture. But chocolate coated? I’ll reserve judgement until I can get my hands of them. In the meantime, this next Call is all about the POP. Take a look…

It is enchiladas day at my house. When I make them, it is a painstaking process that takes hours; however, I have learned to make enough filling for two batches and freeze the 2nd half. Tonight, I’ll have enchiladas that take just a few minutes to fill and bake. Yeah!
