CALL for ENTRIES: mon-o-chrome

Posted on January 20, 2020February 19, 2020 by R.L. Gibson

CULINARY tour

I spent 15 days on vacation –one week in Arizona, one week in New Mexico. Adjusting to the elevation was no joke. I’ve spent most of my life living at or around sea level. My homes for the past 10 years have been at around 2000 feet in elevation near the base of the Great Smoky Mountains. Bisbee, AZ has an elevation of approx 5500 feet and Silver City, NM has an elevation of 5800 feet, both higher than Denver, CO. Plus, Bisbee is known as the city of 1000 steps. We hear you get used to it after 3 weeks, but we only had two. We survived, but it was eye-opening. On an unrelated note, I think we took as many bites of food as we did steps. That’s a lot of forks folks. We’ve decided to start calling our vacations “culinary tours”. It seems more purposeful, less gluttonous, ha.

Now that I’m back, I am hard at work planning my year, including a residency (or three), a solo show, some juried shows, some invitationals. I have some announcements, but we’ll save those for another day. I am also looking to expand my “comfort” galleries to new areas. You know those galleries that you show in time and time again because you like the people, you like the space, you like the curation, you like the sales. You’re comfortable. I have a handful of those, but I am always looking to freshen my resume. This next call is a great way to try on a new gallery or, if you’ve shown at Las Laguna Gallery before, continue to develop that relationship. Take a look.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Las Laguna Gallery (Laguna Beach, CA) for mon-o-chrome, $35 entry & 35% commission, most media accepted. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Unique Abstractions

Posted on May 5, 2019February 19, 2020 by R.L. Gibson

abstractly DRINKING SPEAKING

The notion of eating healthy is an abstract one. Even putting ethical concerns aside, there are health benefits (and disadvantages) to embracing vegetarianism, veganism and even raw diets. Sugar is the devil, but artificial sweetners are differently malicious. An excessively fatty diet can lead to heart disease but when coupled with an near absence of carbohydrates puts the body in ketosis that effectively treats diabetes in many. Chocolate and red wine and coffee and kale, all abstractions of a healthy diet.

In art, abstraction takes a lot of forms. At it’s broadest, abstraction is work that is non-representational. But, that begs the question, non-representational of what? From that we get non-figurative & non-linear styles that are often included in surrealism, dadaism, cubism, fauvism, suprematism, art informel, neo-plasticism, de stijl & others. This next Call wants to see all of your abstract creations. My heart lies with abstraction, although I find reactions to it frustrating. What’s your experience? Are you insulated enough not to hear the voices of those that would dismiss the non-representational? My mantra is ‘process not product’. Excerise your muscle memory. Lose yourself in process. It works for me. What works for you?

CALL for ENTRIES: monochrome

Posted on April 5, 2017April 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

sautee or FRY?

There is a fine line between golden goodness & fried brown sameness. I have an aunt who won’t eat “lacy” eggs or “dirty” biscuits, her phraseology for anything browned, but she only eats meats well done. (Go figure.) Personally, I love a butter browned anything, but I shy away from the monotony of bread-crumb brown. This next Call wants your monotone work –food references not required. Take a look…

RACE YOU
to the party

I plan a Kentucky Derby party each year, well, abstractly speaking. The party never actually happens, but my intentions are always good. I dream of andouille sausage with black-eyed peas and lobster with truffle oil. But in the end, I remember that mint juleps don’t require a party and excuse myself from the planning. I recommend a small amount of planning for the next Call, at least abstractly…

CALL for ENTRIES: Annual Axis Gallery Juried

Posted on April 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

RECIPE for
SUCCESS

Like many of you, I frequently “wing it” in the kitchen. I like the idea of cooking with whatever you have on hand and making adjustments according to taste along the way. However, while editing a recipe for a friend recently, I realized there is a certain comfort in knowing the exact amount of salt to put in the potatoes. There is comfort in not guessing the temperature or constantly checking the oven to see if your famous apple pie is ready. Take comfort in the fact that this Call is a well-established show with lots of room for research. Time to create your own recipe…

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Solo in the Adirondacks

Posted on October 28, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

HOT TODDY!

My non-art related work place is The Lodge at Buckberry Creek, a resort in the Great Smoky Mountains patterned after the Great Camps of the Adirondacks in upstate New York. The Lodge is a 4-Diamond resort and home to the only fine dining in Gatlinburg. So for me, the idea of the Adirondacks conjures images of hand-oiled leather couches, animal hide rugs, wood-burning fires and warm mulled cider. Thanks to this annual call, it also reminds me of phenomenal art opportunities as well! The holidays are in the air…

Food in academic settings takes on a very different feel and taste. I spent a year in culinary school before I realized I didn’t have the stamina to make my living standing on my feet. But, I learned priceless knife and sauce skills that I treasure. One of the most interesting things about my inital year at Johnson & Wales was the time spent on analyzing the basics, perfecting the standards before having the freedom to break the rules. This next Call is for media considered the foundation of art education, but there’s no restriction on content. Break the rules for me…

NUTS for
LOBSTER

When I think of Georgia, I start craving lobster bisque. Yes, I know that Georgia is the Peach State, but as I have mentioned before… I have peach issues. Georgia conjures images of trips to Savannah with my mother for glorious lunches at the River House of Caesar salad made fresh at our table, rich and creamy lobster bisque, and a huge slice of pecan pies. You can’t touch that with peaches. So this next Call is over 250 miles from Savannah, but it is still Georgia. If you can’t find the bisque while at the opening, pecan pie can’t be far away…
