FISHY

I live in a town with a population of approximately 3500. We have 1 zip code & area code, 1 post office, and…one grocery store. Luckily, the popularity of my hometown with tourists affords a few luxuries like a recently renovated produce and seafood section in our lone grocery store. I bought salmon there last week, and it came wrapped in paper. Paper. Lovely. Thank you for not adding another piece of plastic wrap to my grocery cart. There is a time and place for paper, and this next Call would be another of them. Take a look…

There are a few culinary treasures in my home. Goat cheese makes the world go round. Almost any dish can be made better with balsamic vinegar. Red bell pepper round out the taste of any dish.

FOODS

Like everyone, I have kitchen horror stories. I still relive slicing my finger open while opening a package of fish. I rushed to the hospital hoping to have the “clean cut” glued instead of stitched so that it wouldn’t interfere with my looming art deadline, only to be left in the waiting room so long they couldn’t glue it. Plus, there’s the horror of having burned everything imaginable. BTW, the most expensive foods burn easiest. You’ve got horror stories of you own, whether real or imagined, and this next Call wants to hear AND see them. Take a look…

LEMON DROPS

I’ve always been lucky in the kitchen. Most of my experiments work. I often get it right the first time I try. Maybe that is how my love affair with food began–as something successful. Who isn’t attracted to being good at something? I often struggle in the studio, but the struggle produces better work. So am I lucky not to be lucky in the studio? Semantics, I suspect. Maybe this next Call will be lucky for you…

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch.

the lazy
GOURMET

I had another Jetsons dream. This one involved me in my futuristic kitchen that was equipped with completely mobile gadgetry. I could sit or stand in one place and everything would come to me as I needed it just by thinking it. Is it telling that I even dream about my own laziness? Maybe instead of my laziness, it was just a premonition of a design for this next Call. So cool…

Check out this Call for Entries from Dreams by Machine (Ventura, CA) for Opulent Mobility. I rarely get to describe a Call as unique and even more rarely get to publish that there is no entry fee; but, this Call is both. Don’t miss this winning combination…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Opulent Mobility

If you could have a walker, a wheelchair, crutches, prosthetic arm/leg/etc. or a home/workplace with unlimited accessibility of any style and any kind, what would that look like? What secret powers would they have? How do you re*imagine mobility and disability?

Opulent Mobility is a juried gallery show devoted to re-imagining mobility and disability. It will be held at the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura, CA from September 6-8, 2013, opening on their popular First Friday. The gallery is beautifully designed for wheelchair and walker accessibility.

DEADLINE: August 19, 2013

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

Posted on July 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

of food

I have drafted a dozen cookbooks in my head. They are usually inspired by whatever food eccentricity I am dwelling on at the moment. But they always have their roots in momentary excitement as opposed to being deep-rooted in a true philosophy about food. Maybe if I ever find myself, a cookbook will make it out of the draft stage. In the meantime, my roots will have to be of the vegetable variety. This next Call want to explore YOUR feelings on roots, or the lack thereof…

Check out this Call for Entries from DRAFTspace (NY, NY) for Rootlessness, a two-part themed exhibit. Selected artists will exhibit their solo exhibitions in the street-level pop-up space on Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side gallery district. This is a great chance for that New York opening you’ve always wanted…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

The exhibition series will consist of two sections – Works on Paper and Works on Space – and one exhibition proposal for each section will be chosen and realized on New York’s Lower East Side.

NY has historically been home to ethnically diverse immigrants, inspiring feelings and experiences related to migration, temporality, transformation, assimilation, or conflict. DRAFTspace is hosting this exhibition series to provoke attention and discussion about this sense of rootlessness. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively.

The theme of rootlessness is connected to the unique space setup and location. The exhibit will not be held in a permanent gallery space. Instead, it will temporarily occupy a street-level vacant retail space that will be consecutively transformed to fit the different identity and characteristics of each exhibition.

The Lower East Side where this event will take place has long been an immigrant neighborhood and has seen a series of immigrant communities pass through it. The area has undergone gentrification, starting in the mid-2000s and has since become home to upscale boutiques and numerous contemporary art galleries.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, or Illustration for “Works on Paper” section OR Sculpture or Site-Specific Mixed Media Installations for “Works on Space” section

DEADLINE: August 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 per entry for up to 10 images

AWARDS: $500 Cash Prize & Solo Exhibition. The artist of each selected proposal will receive a $500 cash prize and his or her solo exhibition proposal will be realized.
