GATHERING CHERRIES

After my post referencing Chef Cat Cora and the inequality of kitchen roles between the sexes, I received an amusing amount of email about “hunters” versus “gatherers.”  I am still writing an art blog, right?  Too funny.  Can you even imagine what would happen if I, in my 4″ heels, had to gather my food from somewhere other than the grocery store?  I can hear you laughing.  Why are we talking about hunting and gathering?  Well this next Call came to my attention, and I couldn’t resist.

Check out this Call for Submissions from Hunter and Cook, a Canadian-produced contemporary art magazine.  You know how I love art publicaton and am constantly preaching its merits.  But, the cherry on the sundae is that these editors don’t want your resume or statement…just your work.  That is just the way we all like it, eh?  Take a look…
