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: Rootlessness

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…

Learn more from DRAFTspace!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.

Learn more about the Rootlessness Exhibits!

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.

I eat popcorn almost everyday.  My most recent obsession is dousing it with loads of chili powder, but for a long time, it was Parmesan cheese.  Popcorn is a memory trigger food for me; my Dad ate it every night with garlic salt with a side of Coke with peanuts (or Tab).  It’s a Southern thing.  What are your memory triggers?  This next Call wants to know…

I suspect you already know I’ve got a little touch of the obsessive compulsive.  But some days, it really rears its head.  My family is trying to be greener, generally speaking, and I find it actually can be cheaper to live this way if you are careful.  My newest pet peeve is people who buy one item in the produce section and feel the overwhelming need to put it in a plastic bag.  You’re going to wash it and/or peel it anyway right?  Why does your single lemon / lime / onion / avocado need a bag?  Who designed this system.  I digress.  This next Call really wants the BEST in design.  Take a look…

I would hurt someone for a pepper-crusted cut of ahi right now. Understand, ahi is not a common food in my house.  I’m too cheap, and Gatlinburg isn’t really known for more exotic varieties of fish.  But some days you wake up and you just want what you want.  You know what would be even better?  A big glass of Cabernet Sauvignon to go with the ahi tuna.  Okay, the Cab I can pull off pretty easily.  This next Call gives you a perfect reason to sample a little Cabernet Sauvignon as well.  Take a look…

I had salmon “en papillote” tonight.  Fear not, it just means “in parchment”.  Contrary to what you might think, it is not the French-cool-factor that leads me down the path of parchment cooking. (Okay, maybe a little.) The real reason is because it is healthy since it requires so little fat.  Okay, that’s a lie too.  The truth?  There is virtually no cleanup.  No dirty saute pans.  Yep, laziness has lead to French cooking.  Go figure.  This next Call is all about the paper too.  Take a look…

My son has recently decided to try to break a Guinness World Record, but he can’t figure out which one (he’s 13).  It takes all the self-control to not suggest that he make the world’s largest chocolate chip cookie.  This next call will resort in only a 10 foot circle; I suspect that is far to small for the world’s largest cookie.  Nonetheless, this is a great opportunity…
