CALL for ENTRIES: Time Will Tell

Posted on March 21, 2017March 20, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

years of WINE and art

I eat a lot of food, so do you, it is how we survive. I also see a lot of art; it is also how I survive, quit literally, since it is my occupation. I rarely know much about an artist personally before I see their work, and I am intrigued how many of the artists behind the work I love end up being in their 40s or 50s or older. It isn’t exclusively that, but it is far more common that would seem coincidental. Maybe art, like wine, cheese & beef, ages well. Show off your maturity with this next call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Ashland University for Time Will Tell, an exhibit of work by artists at least 50 years old at the Coburn Gallery. This is an uncommon opportunity…

don’t cut the
CHEESE

I have been telling you for years that I am open to any kind of food at least once. Turns out, I am a liar. When faced with the opportunity to try casu marzu, I just couldn’t do it. I love cheese, but just “no.” So, I will not eat ANY food, but this next Call will take ANY media. Give it a try…

CALL for ENTRIES: Coup d’espace ‐ Palimpasest

Posted on July 1, 2012July 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

DIPPIN’
in the
DEEP END

Thanks for your patience this week while I took a little unscheduled hiatus. Sometimes you just have to take a break and reset. We are making some significant changes to our diet—moving toward less meat and dairy. In addition, our musical engagements have picked up; I have art submissions to finish, and let’s not forget…blogs to post. The layers of information I sift through everyday can be overwhelming, and then this Call fell into my lap. So appropriate. Layers and layers and layers…

Check out this Call for Entries for Coup d’espace ‐ Palimpasest from the Washington Project for the Arts, a group show that explores Layers of Information. There is no entry fee, but the deadline is only a couple of weeks away. Don’t delay…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Coup d’espace ‐ Palimpasest

We live in a society of layers. Information is plied upon other information. Metadata automatically becomes part of every digital image. Museum exhibitions now include QR codes for additional information. The recent Experimental Media 2012 exhibition included them. The National Gallery and the Museum of Natural History use them. They are ubiquitous.

But what if the QR code became the contemporary representation of information? What if this encoded symbol displaced the original information? It wouldn’t be the first time that newer “text” has superseded the old. Throughout the history of the written word, parchments and vellum have been scraped clean of their original text and reused. Over time, that original text (the scriptio inferior) resurfaces through natural means or scientific research. An immediate relationship between the original text and new text is constructed through their juxtaposition. –from the Prospectus

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Any medium that explores the concepts of Layering and Information. Artists are encouraged to think beyond just the techniques of layering (i.e., Photoshop).

DEADLINE: Monday, July 16, 5pm EDT

NOTIFICATION: Monday, July 23, 2012

ENTRY FEE: None

CURATOR: Steven H Silberg, independent artist & Lecturer of Fine Arts at UMBC and Neil C Jones, independent artist & Professor at MICA and Anne Arundel Community College.

SALES: WPA will take a 50% commission on works sold.

CALL for ENTRIES: Annual Axis Gallery Juried

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

RECIPE for
SUCCESS

Like many of you, I frequently “wing it” in the kitchen. I like the idea of cooking with whatever you have on hand and making adjustments according to taste along the way. However, while editing a recipe for a friend recently, I realized there is a certain comfort in knowing the exact amount of salt to put in the potatoes. There is comfort in not guessing the temperature or constantly checking the oven to see if your famous apple pie is ready. Take comfort in the fact that this Call is a well-established show with lots of room for research. Time to create your own recipe…
