I haven’t reflected on my self-portrait as a food lately. I’m feeling like butter this week, indulgent and cozy and not always the best choice, ha. I’m not certain my portrait as FOOD is what this next Call is looking for, but they do want your self-portraits. Show them your best…

CALL for ENTRIES: Collaboration

Posted on May 16, 2016May 16, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

take two & call me after BREAKFAST

Food as medicine has been on my radar for a decade. I appreciate the ability to attempt home remedies through food and supplements. I am not suggesting it is easier, nor am I suggestion it is a solution for all ailments. But, I am intrigued. A family history of arthritis, combined with years of a slight addiction to towering high heels, has resulted in massive joint pain in one of feet. Flair ups are completely manageable with a combination of tart cherries & massive quantities of vitamin C. Drug-resistant pediatric epilepsy is now often treated by mainstream medicine with a ketogenic diet. The collaboration between doctors and nutritionists is inspiring. This Call offers you the opportunity to collaborate with writers. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art Labology for a Collaboration project between visual artists & writers. No entry fee & possible art publication. I like this opportunity…

ARTIST of the DAY: Liz Huston

Posted on December 10, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

creative ISOLATION

As the new year approaches, I find myself more isolated and in my head as I set goals for the year and contemplate creative direction. Today’s Artist of the Day, Liz Huston captured my inner dialogue with storytellers of her very own. The pieces below that spoke to me are from a couple of years ago. But please take the opportunity to look at her new work and find your own story. (continues below)

“I am fascinated with the way memory influences how stories change and evolve over time. This happens not because the facts change,but because the inner orientation of the storyteller has. Their perspective grows; expanding and contracting with experience. The storyteller journeys us deep into the timeless aspects of the human experience; the kingdoms of love and loss, through grief, resolve, growth and into the balance of purpose… This time traveler, this storyteller, unites the treads of time–leading us home, bringing us back into ourselves.” — Liz Huston

THE NAKED

CHEF

Don’t you love it when a movie or tv show depicts the uninhibited excitement of cooking naked or with nothing but an apron on? Unless you subscribe to a raw food diet, I don’t recommend it.

TOM-A-TO
-ish

It is finally warm enough to be seeing a few normal tomatoes at the market. I have suffered through a winter FULL of day-glow tomatoes that are hard as rocks and completely tasteless. I think out-of-season growers spray them with something to make them have an appealing color, but they just end up disappointing when I get them home. Do not disappoint the purveyors of this Next Call with a lack of color. Investigate…

OPEN WIDE
…and say “Ahhh”

Food TV rocks. Surprised that I would say so? I didn’t think you would be, ha. I like to believe I am wide open to any kind of food (and art) that comes my way, but watching shows like Chopped reminds me that my palate isn’t really challenged all that often. This next call challenges you to be wide open to digital art. Give ’em your best shot…

CALL for ENTRIES: Digital Unity

Posted on June 23, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD for the EYES

I love food fusion. I’ve eaten in some crazy creations from Tex-Mex crossed with Filipino food to Cajun food crossed with Asian food. Recently I had Rueben eggrolls. Delicious. Not everyone embraces the new of it all. Digital art is like food fusion… not everyone loves it. This call gives you a great chance to participate in a digital show, and it just happens to be in Berlin. Bonus…

Check out this Call for Entries for Digital Unity sponsored by ANNEX:art and Förderkreis Dorfkirche Lübzow. The entry fee is a standard $35 (approximately), and it could get you an international show! This is not an online show…

*Editor’s Note: This show is two-part… the Call for Entries AND a separate Artist Residency to install all the accepted pieces. Enter your work (and maybe even you) could be on its way to Berlin. This Call is a little odd, and the website is not incredibly clear. If you are excited about a call for digital work, email the curator, Dr. Jörg Bauer, with your questions.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Digital Unity

The concept of this project will be to present various forms of digital art in a unified digital installation. Artist submissions are open to digital photography, digital audio installation, digital collage, digital painting and digital video clips. Each entry will be evaluated on its own merit with respect to inclusion in the final digital installation.

At least 10 digital images will be chosen for printing and inclusion in an exhibition which will be part of the installation. All other digital materials will be utilized and included in a digital projection project as part of an artist residency and ultimately included in the final installation. The installation will be presented to the public in Lübzow, Germany on October 2, 2011 with the entire installation then being presented in a Berlin gallery beginning on October 15, 2011.

Artists are welcomed to travel to Germany for the opening event and may also be interested in participating in installing the installation during the week leading up to the vernissage on October 2nd. One artist will additionally be chosen to compile the digitalized material into the final installation. Applications for this residency are separate from the submission of artwork for inclusion in the installation. Any artist wishing to take part in installing the show can inquire about the availability and terms of accommodations for this project.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Digital photography, digital audio installation, digital collage, digital painting, and digital video clips.

DEADLINE: August 31, 2011

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2011

ENTRY FEE: After completion of the online application each artist is required to submit the non-refundable application fee of €25.00 (approximately $35 USD) via PayPal (due to security reasons only PayPal payments will be accepted). No entries will be reviewed prior to receipt of the application fee.

SALES: 15% commission
