CALL for ENTRIES: Raw

Posted on November 5, 2017November 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

raw FOOD

In a world where so many people are vegetarian or vegan, steak tartar was once the most controversial food conversations one could have. Now we have so many more choices of things with which to disagree. If we just stick to raw foods, there are still subgroups like fruitarians, juicearians, or sproutarians which cause heads to metaphorically explode. The bottom line is that people have the right to determine what goes into their bodies, and what we choose to eat says something about who we are. We are what we eat, right? This next Call wants to know the raw truth about you through your work. This one is personal…

Check out this Call for Entries from IU Kokomo Art Gallery (Kokomo, IN) for Raw: The Exhibition. There is no entry fee, the media is wide open & the commission rate is low. If you’re willing to let it hang out, this could be a great opportunity…

i want all the FOOD

Today has been the hottest day of the year in my area. Normally I would have hidden indoors for fear of having a heat-triggered, cough-variant asthma attack. But, I ventured forth and no asthma attack. I have dropped a few pounds recently in an effort to reduce the chances of overheating this summer. The change is my cheese-nuts-olives, free-for-all lifestyle has been dramatic but worth it. My next goal is to get off asthma meds completely, while NOT starving to death, ha. That’s my medical drama. What’s yours? This next Call wants your medical or anatomical imagery with a wide range of interpretation. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: New Directions 2017

Posted on July 3, 2017July 3, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

pass the SALT

Did you know there is a proper direction to pass food around the table? It dates back centuries to men, mostly right handed, who were armed at the dinner table. If you passed food from the right, you ran the chance of bumping in to a weapon or worse yet, causing a spilled drink. So these days it is still considered proper to serve or pass from left to right. After all these years, you’d think there would be a better reason or a new direction, but, no. This next Call is a new direction, more than 3 decades old –an exhibit now in its 33rd year. Don’t miss this opportunity…

Date night used to always be mussels steamed with white wine & peppercorns.

a little KITCHEN

So, the move is complete. My husband & I have downsized our home by half as the next step in our being completely mobile. I am currently referring to my home as “box city” for reasons that I imagine are obvious. Part of the move included purging my life of all the “stuff” weighing me down, including kitchen gadgets and single-use appliances. The lack of stuff has necessarily affected my cooking as well, encouraging simplicity, whole foods & clean eating. It is a new place, a new space & an opportunity for a fresh perspective. This next Call, although un-themed, reinforces the idea of a unique sense of place. Take a look…

more than CORN

Appalachian cuisine is a “new” thing in food circles. But it isn’t. Everyone carries their own baggage about regional foods. When I was little, if you referred to mountain food, fried chicken would be hailed as the prime example. Then with the legalization of moonshine, everyone seems to think the local fare is all about corn whiskey and cornbread. It is all more complicated than that, I promise. What if food, in concert with art and culture are THE answer for Appalachian economic recovery? This next Call offers an art opportunity in Appalachia. This is a beautiful venue…

comforTABLE

Winter is the season of indulgent foods. Comfort foods have changed for me over the years, but they still tend to be slow-cooked, hearty fare. My favorite indulgences are french onion soup with fresh parmigiana, Swiss steak over pureed potatoes, masala laden with cauliflower & chickpeas or black-bean chili with a squeeze of lime. And don’t forget the gulab jamun. Luckily winter comes but once a year –much like this next Call. Indulge…

cutting THE FAT

I dropped out of culinary school half way through. It occurred to me as I was practicing a particularly complicated knife skill one Friday night that I didn’t want to live and work and eat all in the same place.

This next Call offers you an opportunity to have it all, have it in one place, and have it FREE. Not kidding…

clean your PLATE

Eating is a roving action at my house. Sometimes breakfast is consumed at the kitchen counter. Lunch often ends up as a living room picnic. If I’m lucky, dinner is eaten at the kitchen table twice per week, and it isn’t because I love eating on the go. The reality is, my tabletop is generally covered by paperwork that should be on my desk or art that should be in my studio space or music equipment undergoing cleaning or repair. Tonight it holds a prom tuxedo (don’t ask). I need a more functional tabletop landscape –just like this next call. The deadline is rapidly approaching…
