CALL for ENTRIES: Lines into Shapes

Posted on July 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

DOUGH not

The hot-fresh-now doughnut purveyor is very popular during tourist season in the Smokies. Summertime often means a car line for the drive thru stretches for a 1/4 mile down the Parkway. I don’t understand. I’ll stand in line, or sit in line, for a lot of foods, but why doughnuts? Donuts with a K are everywhere aren’t they? What makes them so special while you’re on vacation? It baffles me. This next Call does NOT baffle me, and the name is all about the lines. Check out the gallery and/or online show choice. Interesting option…

CALL for ENTRIES: Dark

Posted on July 11, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

the
DARKER
the better

I usually like to get food as close to the source or source process as possible. But, I cannot bring myself to love Mexican chocolate. Most of the world uses a conche for varying lengths of time to incorporate cocoa butter within chocolate. The longer the processing, the smoother the chocolate. But Mexican chocolate is still often stone-ground which produces a gritty texture. I am addicted to dark chocolate, but I want it smoooooth. This next Call offers the opportunity for you to be dark and either smooth or gritty. To each their own…

CALL for ENTRIES: Oil & Water

Posted on July 10, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

OIL
me up

Olive oil seems quintessentially Italian to me. But, did you know that the top producer of olive oil, by a fairly wide margin, is Spain? I always think of it as Italian or Greek. This next Call is not just about oil, but water too. Take a look at this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstraction

Posted on July 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

ROMAINE
parm & garlic

I’ll take the Abstracted Caesar–hold the deconstruction. I love it when culinary lingo takes a weird side trek. Apparently the minute difference is that deconstructed food is technically a dish with ALL of its components separated. Meanwhile, abstracted food features only the main components separated out. Hilarious. In the meantime, this next Call wants your Abstract work, not deconstructive work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Santa Cruz Art League (CA) for Degrees of Abstraction. We love this arts organization, and the juror has a well-documented personal style that runs contrary to the exhibition’s theme. Interesting…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Abstraction

Moving beyond verisimilitude abstraction frees the artist from the object. This opens the door for a vast variety of visual interpretations which indeed makes abstract art the most challenging. The artist’s facility with the materials & focus on surface makes abstraction particularly interesting today. But w/o personal content, symbolism or “event”, it risks becoming conceptually mundane & void of meaning.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to US artists

MEDIA: Printmaking, drawing, painting, bookmaking, collage, photography & 3D

DEADLINE: August 31, 2014

ENTRY FEE: $45 Non-member up to 3 / $35 SCAL Members ($20 fee/box for shipped work)

CALL for ENTRIES: A Show of Heads

Posted on July 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
weirdness

As I become more food wise, I also become more food wary. Even proven combinations like chocolate & peanut butter or mozzarella & balsamic become tiresome. And as I get bored, I start branching out and trying foods together just out of curiosity. Watermelon with olive oil & basil is delightful, by the way. That combination is as good as the combination award for this next call. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from SlowArt Productions for A Show of Heads at the Limner Gallery (NY). The awards for this show include BOTH a gallery show & art publication. Great combo…

CALL for ENTRIES: Science & Art

Posted on July 2, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

JAM
not jelly

Chia seeds are fascinating. I have started using them to make raw, small-batch refrigerator jam from overripe fruit. Yum. The seeds are hydrophilic, absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked. While soaking, the seeds develop a mucilaginous gel-like coating that gives my jam a fantastic texture. I feel a little like a mad scientist every time I use them, ha. Here’s a science (& art) call for the Chicago area. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Science & Art

Science and Art are two aspects of human cultural activity and experience. We find aesthetic inspiration from structures found in nature, and works of art can provide novel insights to scientists. Only our age of extreme division of labor brought about a separation between science and art.

CALL for ENTRIES: Not a Full Deck

Posted on June 23, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LEMONS
& vinegar

Good food is all about balance, and it seems that a lot of commercial cooks and chefs are not cooking with a “full deck.” The most common mistake? A lack of acid. A little lemon will transform your cheesecake from cloyingly sweet to perfectly delectable. A little red wine vinegar will make your tuna salad memorable. This next Call is looking for your take on working with less than a “full deck.” Great theme…

CALL for ENTRIES: This May Have Happened

Posted on June 20, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

SHOPPING
in my sleep

Sometimes it seems as though the days of half-hour grocery trips were only a dream, but I know it really happened, right? These days it take at least 90 minutes to read all the labels, pick the lesser of the evils AND search for the best deals. But, I believe in a future that allows me to grow most of my food. Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream. This next Call wants to know how it happens in your dreams. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
This May Have Happened

The power of photography as document or proof is well-demonstrated. Photographic images are often crafted to exist alone, as singular facts.

At the same time, the narrative possibilities of still photography develop from the power of suggestion, the potential of the open-ended scene, the unresolved thrill of the cliff-hanger. The stories that these images suggest may or may not be factual, but their power comes from allowing the audience to bring its own sense of plot and tension to the work. We are looking as much for questions as we are for answers.

Think noir. Think sweeping epic. Think fairy tale. Think cause and effect. Think characters.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all photographic work.

DEADLINE: July 18, 2014

NOTIFICATION: Mid-August

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Aspect

Posted on June 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

EAT
everything

Most people, in my experience, believe that big cities, like D.C., offer the best in restaurant diversity. And, while this is perhaps true, I find the best quality food experiences are in cities just outside these areas. Take Alexandria, VA, for example. Located just outside D.C., you’ll find everything from farm to table fresh offerings to gourmet comfort foods. All the aspects of urban offerings in a slightly smaller setting. This next Call offers an urban aspect, AND it hails from Alexandria too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Principle Gallery (Alexandria, VA) for Urban Aspect. Gorgeous gallery, historic & walkable location. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CAVIAR

Pimento cheese is known as the caviar of the South. It is fundamentally made with American cheese which isn’t actually cheese. So can you make authentic pimento cheese with a faux ingredient?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Faux Real

Though the idea of the ‘real’ has a multitude of meanings, it has been endlessly interpreted by artists and holds particular significance in our ever-changing world.

Artists approach reality and its relationship to representation through numerous types of media and with many distinctive standpoints. The term ‘reality’ has been consistently redefined and broadened to include new realms, like the virtual, the personal, the unscripted, the digital, the hallucinogenic.

Non-Fiction Gallery is looking for works that explore the many facets of the concept of reality.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all media

DEADLINE: July 11, 2014
