FISHY

Children often outgrow the dislike of strongly-flavored foods, but I truly just substituted some for others. I used to love sardines on saltines as a kid, but now you can always anchovy paste in my pantry. This could be an explanation for why our household is such a hit with all the neighborhood felines, just like this next Call should be. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Happy Accidents

BANANAS
with salt

I am addicted to salty crunch–but not in the way you would think. It isn’t potato chips, although I do love them dearly. No, I am newly addicted to bananas with peanut butter and chunky sea salt. Odd, I know. It was a happy accident, really. We buy unsalted natural peanut butter and salt it ourselves. And, when my salt grinder started acting up, I ended up with HUGE salt boulders on my bananas with peanut butter. Now, they HAVE to be boulders. This next Call might just appreciate my happy accident. Check it out…

NUTTY

My family loves peanut butter. I don’t mean they like to eat it. I mean they are obsessed. It is eaten on everything in my house.

TOM-A-TO

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…

CALL for ENTRIES: New Media

Posted on May 31, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

NEW to ME

Innovation in cooking (and in art) moves slowly. If you watching cooking shows, you would think that sous vide cooking preparation is a hot new technique. But the sous vide method has been around since the 1970s. Digital Art and New Media have not moved quite that extreme of slow, but slow nonetheless. Shows like the one in this next Call will put New Media in the forefront in no time. It is a great opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries for the New Media Festival from LACDA (Los Angeles Center for Digital Art). The entry fee is reasonable, and I know that new media shows can be hard to find. This isn’t a show for everyone, but new media shows can be rare finds. Investigate…

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.

SCARY,
FURRY FOOD

Sometimes you just have to eat it. Food can be scary AND wonderful. You will never know until you eat it. Someone had to eat the first kiwi fruit, the first coconut, and the first peanut. Be brave. This next Call takes a little bravery too. More than a few of you out there are a touch jaded, and I will grant that many of you have been burned and have good reason. I just want you to remember that sometimes, just sometimes, you have to be brave…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Emergent Artist Award, conducted in partnership with the Alliance Française of Dubai, a French cultural organization. I can usually vouch for most of the galleries or competitions, but I’m going on what I could read this time.

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…

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.
