CALL for ENTRIES: Works on Paper

Posted on April 13, 2016May 15, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

LEFTOVERS rock

We intentionally create leftovers by overcooking dinner so that we have a few easy options for lunch on hand. But, left over veggies that didn’t get fully used in salads or stir frys become the best fillings for spring rolls. We’re a little addicted. Have I mentioned that rice paper is my newest obsession? As much as I appreciate their function, I’ll admit that how little room they take up in the pantry and the fact that they seemingly never expire may very well make them the perfect bread replacement. Yum. This next call wants your paper, but it doesn’t have to be rice paper…

Check out this Call for Entries from LBIF (Beach Haven, NJ) for their 18th Annual Juried: Works on Paper. $35 Entry, cash awards & the juror is fantastic. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Posted on April 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing. Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason. But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant. I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food. I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly. Maybe ugly is a little too strong. It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like.. This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful. Take a look…

KERNEL
of truth

Popcorn is now complicated. I used to enjoy it from the theatre or from the microwave. But in the continuing effort to eat real food, my husband now insists on popping it from the kernel on top of the stove. We ran out two days ago, and after briefly considering experimenting with the .gif suggesting you can pop it on the cob in your microwave (don’t do this, btw), we opted for a bag of microwaveable popcorn left from a recent hotel stay. Just no. Because Styrofoam, no. The next Call is Popped, sort of, & they don’t want Styrofoam either. Deadline is NOW…

Nourishment is personal. Salt is a perfect example. There is no other edible substance that I can think of that is more divisive. One simple dusting of salt can define the line between edible or not for a huge range of people. Be it food or artistic inspiration, how you feed yourself has to be personal. What else could it be? This Call is personal for me. I have been hungry, physically & creatively; have you? The show is short and simple. I have extended the deadline in an effort to include more work from more artists.

CALL for ENTRIES: Light & Shadow

Posted on April 5, 2016April 5, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

shelf LIFE

My next kitchen will not have cabinet doors. My need for symmetry & years of practice in downsizing lend to neat kitchen cabinets. There are exceptions: storage containers whose lids hide like socks in a dryer and the lazy Susan corner cabinet that probably has unflavored gelatin from 2010 hiding in the shadows. I am moving to an all new, albeit all tiny, space in 12 to 18 months, and all the kitchen storage will be open. All light and no shadows for me. This Call, however, wants both your light AND your shadows. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Light & Shadow fm 1650 Gallery

“The beauty of light never fails to inspire. It comes in many colors and styles, from the soft monochrome palette of the pre-dawn to the raging intensity of Times Square at midnight. Light can dazzle, light can seduce; light can be so intoxicating many spend hours attempting to capture its essence inside a tiny light-tight box otherwise known as a “camera.” Whether the photographer chooses color or black and white, the expression and compression of the wonder of light from our daily world onto a 2d piece of paper in a compelling way remains both the Nirvana and the great white whale of all photographers past, present and future. Studious professional photo-geek Ansel Adams identified 10 distinct “zones” of light from pitch black to pure light in an attempt to tame the photo beast; in his wake countless lives have been dedicated to the artistic pursuit of these 10 expressions of luminosity” — from 1650 Gallery

DELICIOUS

Do you own a food mill? Think of it as a low-tech food processor. I love them because it makes leftovers multi-use. Run your chunky marinara through the mill for pizza sauce, while the food processor tends to make a watery mess. Baked apples, once milled make a great granita. Veggies from making stock end up as a great, light sauce for a fast noodle lunch. Your time is valuable. Don’t waste it by throwing away the left overs. Eat them. This next Call is a multi-purpose tool. Apply for one show and get considered for multiples. Take a look…

FOOD

Time for planting decisions has arrived. We’re probably clear of the last frost where I live, but now it is time for mama black bears and their cubs to begin wandering out of their dens. In fact, critters all seem to be ready to get the season started. So, how do I choose to what to plant? I need hardy veggies that aren’t overly attractive to foraging wildlife. Then there is what we have dubbed the fern-factor. There seem to be some things, I simply cannot grow; tomatoes & ferns are on the short list. Funny how gardens differ based on the gardener. Thumbs definitely come in different shades of green. This Call for photography wants to see your interpretation of how the figure influences the landscape. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator for the Figure in Landscape exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, great prizes & exposure for ALL entrants. Great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Figure in Landscape
from L.A. Photo Curator

The relationship between a figure & the landscape context can be powerful. Landscapes are often presented as pristine places, without human presence. However, figures within landscapes can play dynamic roles as scale elements, protagonists in a narrative, or mysterious presences. Sometimes figures can ask more questions about a place than they can answer. For this exhibition photographs that extend beyond documentation of place to bring a human element into the natural or urban landscape are sought. –from laphotocurator.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: April 15, 2016 (Midnight PST)

EXHIBITION: April 23 – May 23, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3

Professor of Art, with a focus in photography at Colorado College. Powell brings a varied & full background to L.A. Photo Curator, which includes awards, residencies & fellowships.

AWARDS: The curator will still choose one 1st place winner, one 2nd place winner & 3 honorable mentions. The 1st place winner will receive a review by one or more curators including a Q&A about the photographer’s work. In addition, their image will be on our home page for a month. 2nd place & honorable mentions will have their image shown along with their bio, artist statement, CV & a link back to their website.

Plus, ALL entrants’ work will be exhibited online in a group on-line exhibition. In keeping with the mission of creating exposure opportunities and PR, L.A. Photo Curator is proud to offer this feature. In addition to your work being seen, there will also be a short artist statement and bio about you plus a link back to your website.

My food preferences have transformed. Years ago, I appreciated more complex, layers of flavor, intrigued by how accurately, or not, I could dissect the ingredients of a sauce. Now a beautiful polenta makes my day –organic, hand-ground corn, homemade chicken stock & aged Parmesan. Simple food allows me to seek out & celebrate quality ingredients without the need for clutter. This next Call is simple; pay the fee & submit a link. Easy…

SUSTENANCE

When left alone, I tend to eat solitary foods. I stood in my kitchen and ate cottage cheese (from the container & yes it was end of the container). For breakfast yesterday, strawberries. For Monday’s snack, pickled beets. But my meals with family or friends are balanced and diverse. I try not to overthink it; surely it is just simplicity, not laziness, right? This next Call requires neither simplicity nor laziness, but you will be on your own. Be brave…

CORN

I have such reservations about corn but none about corn pudding. We had it for dinner tonight. I always think of corn as hailing from Iowa. (I am clearly like a marketing sponge.) But as I spent hours on the back roads of Ohio last year trying to avoid the nightmare that is I-75 South, I drove through miles and miles and miles of corn fields, intersected only by the occasional two-lane or gravel road. Dazzling. Beautiful. Waving both “hello” & “goodbye”. A landscape of corn. In Ohio. This next Call wants your landscape or seascape, or even your corn. Take a look…
