Posted on June 2, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

NO CHICKEN
for dinner

I have nieces in college that will only eat chicken & potatoes. More accurately, their preference is chicken fingers & fries. These ladies are in their twenties. Their parents chose their battles, so to speak, and apparently food wasn’t one of them. Even on special occasions like holidays & birthdays (not even their own), someone always cooks chicken fingers, nuggets or tenders for these two just to keep the peace. This would be a declaration of war in my house. This next Call wants YOUR take on conflict–not just from the battleground either. This is a great opportunity to stretch your artistic self conceptually…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for War & Peace. $24 entry. We’re proud of how many of our readers have been both shown & awarded in the past few years at Darkroom. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
War & Peace

“As described by the famous Karl Marx theory: society is in a state of perpetual conflict due to competition for limited resources. One can see that is true if you simply watch a broadcast news program. From civil rights, to gay rights to global terrorism, our world is a bubbling cauldron of adversarial commotion. And it seems it has always been this way.” — from darkroomgallery.com

notes

I will put salt & pepper on anything. Years of deliberate pause has taught me that not all things need salt, but it has been a hard lesson to learn. I have super-low blood pressure (70 over 40, no really), and my doctor surmises that I just self-medicate with salt. Who knows? Changing from the black & white of salt and pepper to the pink of Himalayian salt and red/green of whole peppercorns in grinders really helped me break the habit. This next Call is a great reason NOT to stray from black and white. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from BWAC (Brooklyn, NY) for Black & White. This year, Christiane Paul, curator of Media Arts at the Whitney Museum, is one of NY’s art elite, and the juror for Black & White. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Black & White

“We bathe in the beauty of color and spin thousands of words describing the experience that the cone cells transmit to our brain. In reality, they are not nearly as numerous as our rods, the cells that register light and dark, the black and white of our experience. Black and white is primal, the underneath, the foundation of the opulence of color; black and white is where we register motion and, with insufficient light, optimize our survival in the night woods. Black and White intends to explore this underground of survival.” –from bwac.org
