CALL for ENTRIES: Opulent Mobility 2019

Posted on May 6, 2019May 5, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

practice what you PEACH

I reject the notion that extravagant dishes require exotic foods. I find that the simplest foods, treated extravagantly, remain my favorites. Have you ever had a vanilla-poached peach? Top it with freshly whipped cream and a drizzle of raw honey, and it makes for the the most opulent dessert (or breakfast) you could ever want. I’ve spent many a year unimpressed by this simple stone fruit to only to realize it was my own lack of imagination at fault.

This next Call addresses mobility devices and their common ground the the common peach — a need for re-imagining. Each year when this Call is announced, I revel in the notion of opulent mobility. You need look no further than the work of curator A. Laura Brody as inspiration. At its core, this show suggests that not only are we enough, but that we should celebrate our enough-ness. That we deserve to move through our lives, through this world with a personal sense of opulence, with purposeful, extravagant creativity. Sit with the notion of this Call and see where it takes you.

Check out this Call for Entries from curator A. Laura Brody for Opulent Mobility 2019. This year the exhibit will be at the Dora Stern Gallery in New Jersey. $20 Entry, 40% commission & a unique curatorial theme. Stretch your creative muscles with this Call!

SWEET tree

Did you know the red squirrel bites the side of the maple tree so that syrup will drip & dry on the bark for later snacking? Clearly people aren’t the only ones with a sugar addiction. Because we so rarely have pancakes at my house, my husband makes syrup from scratch when needed. It is the only thing that keeps me from chugging it straight from the container some days. Animals we are. This next Call wants your animal perspective. Show them your best…

CALL for ENTRIES: Summer Solstice

Posted on May 2, 2017May 2, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

SWEET harvest

While my friends are dreaming of picnics awash with super-size sandwiches and fresh squeezed lemonade, I crave fruit salads. My childhood was fulled of canned fruit cocktail, coconut & marshmallow concoctions; so my adulthood is ripe with freshness. Most of the year I try to take in moderate amounts of sugar, but fresh, summer fruits like apples & pears, starfruit & guava, berries & melons are more than I can resist. I’m hoping you can’t resist this next Call, which is also all about summer. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Light & Shadow

Posted on May 13, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

a day in the SUN

Gardening is a fine balance of light & shadow. Bok choi will grow in as little as two hours of sun per day, but many varieties of beans love full sun. Tender, baby lettuces can be grown in the shadow of climbing plants like those sun-loving beans. It is all an art of balance. This next Call wants YOUR best light & shadow. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Feminist Sex

Posted on January 11, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

WIENERS,
anyone?

How did operating a grill become a feminist issue? I can’t tell you how many female friends I have that defer grilling activities to the men in their lives under the guise of not knowing “how to do it”. Really? Amongst this group of women who are financiers, scientists, diplomats & artists, no one can operate a grill? Please. Maybe they are just faking it, like me, to avoid the additional work occasionally. *Shhh* This next Call has NOTHING to do with the grilling of meat and EVERYTHING to do with feminism. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: tiny art show

tiny
TREATS

I am fascinated by small food & small restaurants. There is something special about the smallest of goodies served in the smallest of places. One automatically assumes great care has been taken because you have less real estate literally & figuratively to make an impression. Sel et Gras in NYC was always on my list to try, but I heard it closed. Do you have any suggestions I should try? I suggest you take part in this next study in tiny art. This could be a good opportunity for some of you.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Pitt County Arts Council (Greenville, NC) for The Tiny Art Show at Emerge Gallery & Art Center. If you are looking to add a line to your resume from a legitimate arts organization, this is a great resource. Take a look…

CALL for ARTISTS: 2015 Adirondacks

Posted on October 12, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CHICKEN
of beef

I am queen of menu planning. Every once in a while I decide to off planning for just winging it. Well, that never lasts. Now that we are planning for a farm of our own, I am considering the idea of buying protein for the entire year from a local rancher–like a whole cow. The challenge would be to space out the protein so we are not forced to eat eggs only for the last 3 months of the year. I suspect it will end in a lessened consumption of meat, but we’ll see. This next Call is not unlike menu planning for a year at the time. Please DO NOT MISS this chance…

OPEN CALL: Ormond Museum

CITRUS
power

Never underestimate the power of food. Grapefruit is now known to interfere with over 70 medications, and many antibiotics have warnings about orange juice. And I am certain that somewhere there are geneticists trying to modify both of these fruits to fix the problem–which is scary, but I digress. The world is your buffet, but you have to make your choices carefully. This next Call looks like a good call to me. But, take a look for yourself…

CALL for ARTISTS: Gifted

Posted on November 29, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

HOLLY for
the HOLIDAYS!

All I want for Christmas is to eat pastries outside of Tiffany’s window. Okay, that is not exactly what I want. I really want a new art studio, no need for a day job and a little bistro of my own so that I can subject the locals to my food experiments and still close after lunch. But if you think about it, it IS the same thing–a life of harried, hurried, excited leisure. Ahh, the glorious dream. This next call has nothing to do with pastries or Tiffany’s, but the gallery share the name of my heroine du jour. Take a chance…

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…
