CALL for ENTRIES: A Show of Heads

Posted on July 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
weirdness

As I become more food wise, I also become more food wary. Even proven combinations like chocolate & peanut butter or mozzarella & balsamic become tiresome. And as I get bored, I start branching out and trying foods together just out of curiosity. Watermelon with olive oil & basil is delightful, by the way. That combination is as good as the combination award for this next call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for A Show of Heads at the Limner Gallery (NY). The awards for this show include BOTH a gallery show & art publication. Great combo…

CALL for ENTRIES: Strange Figurations

Posted on May 14, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EGG-BASED love

My kid loves quiche. He requests it for every special occasion–from birthdays to graduations. The secret is 6 eggs to 2 cups of heavy whipping cream for a deep dish, and don’t talk to me about the fat. Really. He rarely cares what’s in it, but when I’m looking for brownie points, I throw in bacon and/or pepperoni. I do it for the look on his face. How strange it is to see him look lovingly at a brunch food. This next Call is looking for your strange figurations–and not just the faces. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for Strange Figurations. Awards include an exhibit at Limner Gallery (NY) & work in the nationally-distributed magazine, Direct Art. Double duty opportunity…

COOKIES, CANDY
and CAKE
oh my

I have dessert after every meal. There, I admit it. I have bre-ssert (usually fruit or chocolate BR-eakfast), le-ssert (often cookies or candy after L-unch), and dessert (cheesecake & chocolate torte are my favorites). Everyday. I’m not into self-deprivation, and I consider dessert a sort of punctuation after meal production.

CALL for ENTRIES: Art Biologic 2014

Posted on January 9, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

here a CHICKEN
there a GOAT

As I search for land for the straw bale house that my family intends to build, critters have become an issue. I am thrilled by the prospects of having chickens for eggs & goats for milk, but am I really dedicated to the biology of it all? Do I really want to be married to the drama of a chicken coop and all the possible predators? Do I really want to give up spontaneous long weekends due to a milking schedule? It may BE all natural, but it doesn’t necessarily COME NATURALLY. This next call wants your take on the art of biology, but it needn’t be all chickens and goats. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Neoteric Abstract

Posted on December 13, 2013December 13, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

PO-TAY-TOH
pa-tah-to

What do you want for dinner? I hate saying AND hearing this phrase because it is immediately followed by the shuffling of feet and avoidance of eye contact in the attempt to draw out the silence until my husband breaks the silence and makes the decision. It isn’t that I don’t want to think about it; clearly I think about food ALOT. However, I find it difficult to translate the abstract notion of what I want for dinner into the concrete dish that would be. Getting from idea that I want comfort food to identifying that as potato soup with freshly grated Romano is, well, complicated. I wonder if abstract painters have this same dilemma. If YOUR work is abstract, check out this next Call…

CALL for ENTRIES: Emerging Artists 2014

Posted on September 23, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

cheese, cheese
or CHEESE?

I will emerge from the melted cheese eventually. Yes, I realize I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks. You’ll just have to forgive me. I’ve been dealing with some pretty serious health challenges and complications from surgery. I AM OKAY; I promise. I’ve just been feeling sorry for myself and haven’t been capable of spreading the same generous helpings of optimism for which I am known. I’ve been drowning in the melted cheese of recovery: macaroni ‘n’ cheese, grilled cheese, cheese enchiladas, three cheese lasagna–the food of the depressed and/or recovering. But, I am slowly emerging from the cheesy fog. I had fresh fish tacos last night (with a minimal amount of monterrey jack). So, this next Call seemed like the perfect “I’m almost back” post. Take a look…

FEED YOUR
face

I’ve always played with my food. As a small kid, I loved making faces, and as a teenager, mashed potatoes and gravy just screamed for a castle and moat. As an adult, my child is only mildly amused by smiley face pancakes and strange hair formed in syrup. This next Call wants to see your strange figures, but I don’t think they’re looking for food art. You be the judge…

BREAST
wanted

Some days I just want fried chicken and macaroni and cheese. Yes, I could make a beautiful coq au vin instead of fried chicken or pastitsio instead of mac ‘n’ cheese. But sometimes the comfort of the familiar is the only thing that will do. Magazines like the one in this next Call are a lovely alternative to the onslaught of online art zines that pop up day after day. Here’s your chance to be amongst its pages…

FEED YOUR
creativity

The biology of food and nutrition both terrifies and thrills me. I am scared that non-genetically-modified corn is virtually non-existent. I can’t just avoid corn; it is IN EVERYTHING. But I also believe in the healing power of eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong foods. I love meat and cheese, but I also know the benefits, first hand, of lowering or eliminating them in your diet (watch the movie Forks over Knives if you’re interested). This next call wants your take on the art of biology–not necessarily related to food, of course. Take a look…

HOT from the
BEGINNING

My garden is abundant in chili peppers this year. I keep thinking I’m going to make Thai food at home, but in reality, I won’t as long as my favorite Thai restaurant stays in business. I love the choice of mild all the way to Thai hot. The hotter, the better for me, but my kiddo still prefers medium hot.
