CALL for ENTRIES: Valdosta National 2018

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Valdosta National 2018 from Valdosta State University!

ooo-ey goo-ey CENTER

I was born in Florida & spent my adolescence in north Georgia.  We made an annual trip between the two, and Valdosta, GA was one of our regular stops.  We would stop in the same diner every year, and I would order the same grilled cheese with a pickle on top.  As I ate my sandwich & debated the merits of pickle juice on butter-toasted bread, my dad would ask the same question of our waitress, “tell me ’bout Valdosta.”  I don’t remember our server being the same woman every year, but I do remember hearing the same answer every year, “The man that wrote ‘Jingle Bells’ lived here.” I think of that short interaction every year when I receive this annual Call from Valdosta State. This is a great show, story not withstanding, and you should carefully weigh this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Valdosta State University (Valdosta, GA) for Valdosta National 2018 at the Dedo Maranville Fine Arts Gallery.  This is another excellent academic show with an esteemed juror.  Take a look…

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about When Things are Strange from the Univ of ND!fat APPLE

Every year, someone gifts me a half dozen custard apples in late spring.  They are sub-tropical, native to the West Indies & Australia, and they look a bit like artichokes that have binged on butter.  But, truth is, they are sweet relatives of the apple that you know and love, just stranger.  This next Call is looking for work that reflects strangeness.  Open for wide interpretation…

CALL for ENTRIES: Order & Chaos

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Order & Chaos exhibit at the Fred Parker Giles Gallery at EKU!PAPER or plastic?

Do you prefer boxes or bags in your pantry?  I like the structure of boxed pasta, beans & cereal, but I love the price of most things bagged.  I prefer not to store things in plastic, but I’m not convinced the process used to create cardboard is any better.  I own a lot of glass which inevitably involves breakage and the energy consumption involved in cleaning and/or sterilization. It can be difficult to distinguish the order from the chaos, but this Call offers us a second change.  Give it a shot…

CALL for ENTRIES: humor; analog humor

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Funny Food: 365 Fun, Healthy, Silly, Creative Breakfasts by Bill & Claire Wurtzel HAHAHAHA…

Humor is always appreciated. I stand accused of being naively optimistic.  If that is true, it is because I live with a smile on my face.  My husband and son think I’m funny–biggest compliment EVER.  I appreciate humor in food as well.  Bill & Clair Wurtzel’s Funny Food is such a great approach to healthy breakfast.  I unabashedly recommend it. This next Call is all about tickling your funny bone.  I unabashedly recommend it too…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Department of Art & Design of East Tennessee State University at the Tipton Gallery (Johnson City, TN) for humor; analog humor. There is no entry fee, and this is one of those opportunities to renew your love of art merely for the sake of creating it…

humor; analog humor

 

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

THEME:  Humor and art have been infrequent partners at best. With both a philosophical interest in the nature of humor and its relationship to aesthetics, this exhibition invites artworks that may utilize a conceptual approach and are actually funny, occupying this middle ground between art and humor in ways that might be thought-provoking, absurd, or even just silly.

MEDIA:  all work must be funny. if you make the curator laugh, chuckle, wryly smile, or have a genuine humorous reaction, then it’s included.  If not, it’s not. Don’t worry: the curator has a very wide ranging sense of humor. except when it comes to Woody Allen movies which, for some reason, he just doesn’t get.

Learn more about ETSU online!All work must be in analog form, nothing digital will be accepted; suggested analog forms include, but are not limited to: index cards, single sheets of paper, cassette tapes, small sculpture, airmail envelopes, 35mm slides, canned goods, Morse code and anything else that you might think of.  But it must be analog.  No zeros and ones.

All of the work must be small.  Maximum size–one cubic foot (not one cubit foot).  Minimum size–head of a pin.

All work must be signed.  This also means that all work can be catalogued, so dates, dimensions, material, etc. must be either included separately with the entry or readily discernible.  An online catalog of every object submitted will be published.

All work must be environmentally disposable. You can retrieve your work at the end of the show, or pay to have it shipped back, but it is expected that the vast majority of work will be trashed on the last day.   They will provide the trash bags.

Learn more about the humor - analog humor show!DEADLINE:  My guess is sometime early to mid September since the work must arrive by the end of September.

ENTRY FEE:  None

CURATOR:  Dr. Scott Contreras-Koterbay, associate professor, (Ph.D., St. Andrew’s University) specializes in Philosophy of Art  and Contemporary Art.
