CALL for ENTRIES: Opulent Mobility 2019

Posted on May 6, 2019May 5, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

practice what you PEACH

I reject the notion that extravagant dishes require exotic foods. I find that the simplest foods, treated extravagantly, remain my favorites. Have you ever had a vanilla-poached peach? Top it with freshly whipped cream and a drizzle of raw honey, and it makes for the the most opulent dessert (or breakfast) you could ever want. I’ve spent many a year unimpressed by this simple stone fruit to only to realize it was my own lack of imagination at fault.

This next Call addresses mobility devices and their common ground the the common peach — a need for re-imagining. Each year when this Call is announced, I revel in the notion of opulent mobility. You need look no further than the work of curator A. Laura Brody as inspiration. At its core, this show suggests that not only are we enough, but that we should celebrate our enough-ness. That we deserve to move through our lives, through this world with a personal sense of opulence, with purposeful, extravagant creativity. Sit with the notion of this Call and see where it takes you.

Check out this Call for Entries from curator A. Laura Brody for Opulent Mobility 2019. This year the exhibit will be at the Dora Stern Gallery in New Jersey. $20 Entry, 40% commission & a unique curatorial theme. Stretch your creative muscles with this Call!

CALL for SUBMISSIONS: Artist Grant

a personal END

A grocery budget surplus comes around rarely in my house, but alas, it magically appeared this week. I was tempted to be practical and buy a back-stock of staple items. But at the last minute, I came across tamarind pods and decided to splurge. I’ve always wanted to make my own tamarind paste just to know if would be better than what I could buy. It isn’t, but I can now say I’ve done it, ha. The next Call could put a surplus in your art budget or at least help you meet your budget. Take a look…

FLORAL notes

I don’t stock saffron in my pantry. As much as I love the opulence & indulgence of a saffron-scented paella, the truth is that I get more mileage from luscious fats like unfiltered olive oil or nutty sesame oil. I can only punctuate my menus with such an elaborate spice on occasion, but I use oils in every dish. Opulence is user-defined & experiential, and this next Call wants your vision of the opulent. Take a look…

color me STUFFED

The Thanksgiving sea of brown food has passed. Luckily, my family forgoes the turkey, dressing, gravy & rolls thereby missing out on a good portion of the brownness of it all. I crave color even in my food. A star of this year’s menu was the beet & clementine salad. Beets are plentiful year around due to how well they do in cold storage. If you are one of those folks that swear they dislike beets, make a point to try them fresh roasted. (Message me for a recipe.) In the meantime, here’s a call that also craves color. Take a look…

table for 3500
PLEASE

I’ve had a few jobs and a few careers. One that I loved more than most was as a Downtown Development Director. I believed in the tiny town; I believe in urban renewal in rural locations (pop. 3500). Alas, my time there was shortened to a mere 3 years. I’ve never admitted this before, but part of my impatience with the development process was my inability to attract new, exciting food opportunities. Really. This next Call is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of making ART the answer. Please investigate this FANTASTIC opportunity…

PURELY PEPPERED
creativity

In the ongoing saga of kitchen creativity, my most recent attempt at mint chocolate chip went a little off course. Who new 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract would be too much in 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream. Just trust me on this one. I suppose this was a drawback to complete kitchen freedom, ha. May this next Call for creative freedom be more successful for you than my mint ice cream experiment. It isn’t just for filmmakers…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Mono No Aware 2013

Film & video have become easily accessible. One can watch content on a website, television, a home projector, or even a cell phone. For some artists and filmmakers those vehicles are copies of the original artwork, each one degraded by its format. MNA believes there is a magic in seeing the film projected as a print. There is a presence a poet has reading his/her own writing. There is a feeling that resonates in your chest when seeing a band live. For these reasons MNA encourages live music, performance and audio to expand the cinematic experience beyond the screen. MNA asks that in the spirit of the festival you not video or create copies of your performance. Some participants have gone as far as to destroy the work after its first run at the event.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Contemporary art that incorporates Super 8mm, 16mm, 35mm or altered light projections as part of a sculpture, installation, dance, or expanded cinema performance. Submissions including digital projections will not be considered (i.e. HDcam, DigiBETA, DVcam, DVD) all moving images should be from an analog source.

DEADLINE: October 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: Nov. 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: None. They believe that your time and effort are fee enough. But, if you would like your film and materials sent back to you it is necessary to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to get your items from Brooklyn, NY. (11211 zip code) back to your mailing address.

I WONDER
if just maybe

The best cooks, and chefs for that matter, that I know are women. Men dominate the professional culinary world, and when I did my short stint in cooking school, all but 2 of my classmates are male. Maybe the answer is that women are smart enough not to want to spend 8 to 10 hours a day, 6 days a week in a hot kitchen. Many of spend enough time there as it is. Hmm. This next Call REQUIRES that you be a woman to participate. So there…
