OPEN CALL: Solo Exhibit

Posted on March 13, 2017March 12, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

PB & banana

Events have left me at home alone for lunch most days lately. I’m not good at eating alone. I’ll adjust eventually, but for now it is bananas & peanut butter or pasta with butter & parm. I don’t do food solo easily, but art is a much easier solo option. This next Call is a great outlet for solo work. Plus, it comes with a little bit of budget.

Check out this Open Call from the Target Gallery at the Torpedo Factory (Alexandria, VA) for Solo Exhibition proposals. The winner of this Call gets a small stipend to help produce the show. Take a look…

HERBS here & there & everywhere

I don’t have enough time on my hands for all the thyme I have on my hands. Thyme grows year ’round indoors, and my window sill herb pot has gone crazy. I have dried it. I have pureed it.

This next Call wants to see your landscape. What’s yours taste like?

to each their own CUCUMBER

I have a friend who hates cucumbers. He once described them as “vile” in conversation. Vile. Everyone knows someone who dislikes Brussels sprouts or olives or grapefruit, but cucumbers? They are so mild. Is there a food that is universally loved? I can’t think of one off the top of my head. I do, however, know an art venue that is universally loved– Waterloo Arts. Maybe this one is for you…

phenomenal FUNGUS

After dropping my phone a dozen or more times, it finally died. When I downloaded everything from the cloud to my new phone (yeah insurance), I left off the food photos. Now that I’m food photo-less, I’m shamelessly beginning again. This week mushrooms, next week . My husband is graciously eating room temp meals while I patiently get the perfect shot. (It must be love.) This next Call want your cell phone pics, but, per usual, they don’t have to be of food, ha. Submit your best…

CALL for ENTRIES: Fight or Flight

Posted on March 3, 2017March 2, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD anyone?

I received more “why food?” inquiries this week. Because. That’s the short answer. Specifically I had someone to challenge the relevancy of a food theme with all that is going on politically in the U.S. Long Answer, well, food IS political, and global. (Reminder, the world is larger than the U.S.) Regulations governing food safety couldn’t be more political. Quinoa and milk and coffee and avocados, political. Choosing the source of your food and having confidence the quality of your options is all about politics and privilege. I love food. AAAD will continue to celebrate food. We all grow and buy and cook and serve in reaction to our experiences of the world around us. We act and react, indulge and temper, daily. This next Call wants your reaction to current events.

“Looking back to specific artists’ reactions to unsettled times, there are Picasso’s Guernica & Gerhard Richter’s cycle of paintings October 18, 1977. On the other hand, Matisse created his joyful collaged paper cutouts for his Jazz series during World War II in France, and Jackson Pollock’s poured paintings were created in the 1950s during the McCarthy era. Creativity can feed off the inspiration of current events and/or a personal vision. We are looking for artists’ responses to these times in which we live, in 2017.” –thepaintingcenter.org

CALL for ENTRIES: Fairies in the Garden

Posted on March 2, 2017March 1, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

food for FAIRIES

My grandmother loved fairy food. She would boil sugar and vinegar together for what felt like forever (15 minutes) and then add baking soda at the last minute. Magically, it seemed, the concoction would turn almost orange. Once cooled, it had this beautifully buttery flavor. Sugar + vinegar = fairy food. Try it. In the meantime, this next Call is all about the fairies. Maybe a fairy kitchen? This one is creative fun…

la fresa, LAS FRESAS

I am trying to learn some basic Spanish. As you might imagine, I skipped ahead to the food lessons almost immediately, ha. I can order water, milk & fish now, agua, leche & pescado, yeah. But as my lessons continue, I am amazed by how many words I already knew or could at least guess from brief French language studies more than a decade past. Like fresas. Strawberries.

MENU starts

Every meal needs a start point, a launch pad of sorts. That start is often inspired by a random item that catches my eye in the pantry. Black-eyed peas become the start for hoppin’-john-inspired tamales. Corn sometimes inspires chowder while blueberries end up in pancakes.

GREENS are the new black

The greens are emerging. Many of you know that I live in Gatlinburg and wildfires recently swept the area. Firefighters stopped the fire a mere 6′ from my doorstep. The forest surround my home is charred. But all of this unseasonably warm February weather (76°F today) has prompted the most tender of green leaves and unexpected happy daffodil heads to appear. It is just another reminder that Spring is around the corner bringing with it the soft first lettuce leaves. I can’t wait. This next Call is in search of emerging artists; lettuce need not apply.

Canning food is a time-consuming preparation, but the rewards are huge. So far, I have managed to shrugged the task off on my mother.

No amount of time makes makes that mess worth it, but this next Call will buy you 6 months. Take a look…
