CALL for ENTRIES: International Exhibit

Posted on March 31, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

The SHIRT OFF my BACK

I spent just enough time in culinary school to discover that I did not want to be a chef. The hours on my feet were going to be too late, and my chances of being a world-renowned chef that only worked days were even more remote. I opted for the t-shirt instead. Funny enough, my experience as a gallery owner was not altogether different– lots of work and lots of late night hours. My hats are off to both Chefs and Gallery Owners.

CALL for ENTRIES: Energy Roundup

Posted on March 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

A non-electric KNIFE
to the HEART

Many moons ago, I had an electrified kitchen gadget for everything. But as the years go by, I found myself drawn to the more manual side of cooking–good knives, a great mandolin, and compact do-hickeys that serve my family in many ways. Give me a manual can-opener any time. An electric can opener won’t do you a lot of good if the power goes out. So, my kitchen is getting a little greener, and this Call for Entries encourages you to make your art a little greener. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Supersize your Art

Posted on March 26, 2011March 26, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

LEFTOVERS

Everyday around 11am I post “what’s for lunch” hoping it will nourish you creatively for the day. Many of you receive my posts by email making them breakfast for you–the most important meal of the day. With my own art show only days from opening, I can’t cook today. So, I have packed your lunch with a leftover worth repeating. This next Call for Entries has a really low entry fee and invites you to wallow in the excess of the supersized.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Annmarie Sculpture Garden (an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute) for Supersize: Bigger is Better?. The entry fee is only $20 for up to four pieces, and this is an excellent opportunity to GIVE IN TO EXCESS. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: Supersize: Bigger is Better?

What fuels our fascination with obscene quantities and obsessive amounts? From supersized to overstuffed, from bulk to buy-one-get-one, we are in a constant quest for more, more, more; yet we decry the after-effects of over-consumption. How do artists interpret these ideas in their work? This exhibition explores the art of the supersized. The jury seeks work that tackles the absurdity of art and life on a grand-scale. From humorous depictions to critical commentary, the jury seeks work that address these issues through their scale, proportion, and witty approach.

Supersize will be installed in the spacious Mezzanine Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden’s Arts Building. With over 4000 sq ft of exhibition space, moveable walls, high ceilings, tile floors, an Arakawa hanging system, Internet access, and electricity, the Mezzanine Gallery can accommodate all sizes and types of installations. As Annmarie includes a thirty acre sculpture garden, outdoor works will also be included in Supersize.

ELIGIBILITY: All media types are welcome. The exhibition is open to all artists age 18 and older working in the U.S. Video entries must be submitted on DVD, playable on QuickTime or RealPlayer, and no more than 30 minutes in length.

DVD or computer based works must be exhibited on equipment provided by artist. Internet access is available. Bases and pedestals must well-balanced and sturdy. Annmarie has a limited number of bases available, please inquire. All frames must be black or silver and simple in design. All works that will be hung on the wall must have brackets that work with the Arakawa hanging system. More information on this system will be provided upon acceptance.

DEADLINE: March 31, 2011 is the deadline for your application.

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of final acceptance status via email by April 14, 2011.

ENTRY FEE: Artists must submit a $20 non-refundable entry fee for up to four entries. Entry fee must be paid by check, money order, or credit card. Each entry must be submitted with three images of the artwork, including one overall view of the artwork, one detail shot, and one installation shot.

ABOUT the ANNMARIE SCULPTURE GARDEN: An affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, Annmarie is a thirty-acre public sculpture garden and arts center located in scenic Solomons, Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay. The sculpture garden features a walking path which meanders through the forest, past permanent and loaned sculpture, including more than thirty works on loan from the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art. The garden also presents a variety of special events, gallery shows, and engaging public art programs. The new Studio School offers creative classes taught by a talented faculty. The award-winning Arts Building, which opened in May ‘08, is a 15,000 sq.ft. museum-grade exhibition space that includes two large galleries, a gift shop, café, and a sunny patio that offers lovely views of the outdoor sculpture.

ART PUBLICATION: International Survey

Posted on March 20, 2011March 20, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

POTATOES or EGGS

There comes a time when you have to be more selective about kitchen gadgets. I have so many, and I love infomercials so much that if I didn’t have strict guidelines in place, I would definitely have to open a kitchen gadget ebay store to justify all of my late-night expenditures. Super dooper potato peeler, I’m there. Gadget that makes my boiled eggs square, love it, but no. This next opportunity is a practical potato peeler in a world of square egg shows. It’s worth a look…

TIME’S UP!

I don’t own a kitchen timer.

OPEN CALL: Art for Holy Cross

Posted on March 18, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PEPPERONI for the SOUL

Chicken soup is the ideal healing food for some. I prefer what my family calls cardboard pizza and chips ‘n’ onion dip. Nope, there no sense in it, but that is my food habit when sick. I can’t tell you how many people I know that turned to art when they became desperately sick or injured. The creation of art can be cathartic, and having work available when you are sick has a way of transporting you away from your own situation. Submit work to this show to be a part of the creation and healing…

Posted on March 11, 2011March 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

Anybody else out there love game meats? I have several friends that consume more venison each year than beef because they have relatives that hunt.
