CALL for ENTRIES: Squing & Oup – Skin Ego

ick

I have conquered my peach fur issues.  If you’re a regular reader, you know I have issues with peach fur because it makes peaches look live living, furry-skinned beings.  Creepy.  Lesson learned: if you scrub hard enough, you CAN get the fur off.  I don’t know why I can eat deep fried chicken and pork skin, but somehow I get the willies when I bite into a peach.  Weird, admittedly.  This next call shines a whole different light on skin.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Squing & Oup (online) for Skin Ego.  This is an inexpensive online art competition from a site that offers artists grants and an opportunity for exposure.  Think of it as an online art publication.  I think it is a good risk for $15…how ’bout you?

Squing & Oup – Skin Ego

 

Complete with orifice, organ and envelope, our bodies house microcosms of experience—all subject to unyielding flux, forming a shifting scape of cumulative geography and psychology. The boundary between the internal and external world is a continuous, flexible, regenerating surface, protecting and covering vulnerable machines— our skin.

Mediating everything in our lives, skin is key to biology, sensory experiences, information gathering, and psychology. Throughout millions of years, we have exposed, veiled, decorated, cleansed, healed and marred our skin to take on new roles of social metaphor. No longer presumable, but personal, skin is a tapestry speaking of our individuality, challenging us to investigate the meaning of permeable boundaries.

Check out the Current Exhibition at Squing and Oup!For this art exhibition, Squing & Oup is seeking artwork embodying the skin ego—examining the politics and psychology of emotion, evolution, exploration, environment and expression.

I enjoy unexpected pairings of food and wine. It never fails when I take a tentative sip of wine after a food I suspect will not compliment, I make the grimace face and am often surprised how well it works. Is it luck?  Maybe I just like wine and appreciate the chance to have another glass…regardless. As I get older, I have found that artistic collaboration keeps me motivated as well. This call offers you an opportunity to produce work while still being someone else’s muse. Great idea…

One of my very favorite foods as a kid was animal crackers.  I liked to line them up in pairs and then bite off their heads and legs before eating the bodies.  A little gruesome, and I’m not certain what that says about me.  But I do crack my goldfish crackers in half before I eat them even now.  Do food interpreters (like dream interpreters) exist?  Clearly I need one.  My prescription?  Buy a box of animal crackers for inspiration for this next call…
