CALL for ENTRIES: Relationship

Learn more about the Relationship exhibit from LA Photo Curator!

CHEESE glorious cheese

I still get email about my relationship with food.  A number of my friends & peers are vegan and are bothered by my cheese obsession.  I dare say the majority of the people I know are vegetarian; therefore, any mention of meat ends in a little hate mail from frenemies.  And I still regularly get the “why do you write about food” question even though we’ve been at it for almost 10 years now.  I am surprised EVERY time.  I forget people read what I write, ha.  This next Call wants to know about your relationship to anything you care to share.  How will you answer this Call?

Check out this Call from L.A. Photo Curator (online) for the Relationship exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants.   $20 entry and a curatorial them to which everyone can relate.  Take a look…

Did you know the red squirrel bites the side of the maple tree so that syrup will drip & dry on the bark for later snacking?  Clearly people aren’t the only ones with a sugar addiction.  Because we so rarely have pancakes at my house, my husband makes syrup from scratch when needed.  It is the only thing that keeps me from chugging it straight from the container some days.  Animals we are.  This next Call wants your animal perspective.  Show them your best…

Learn more about the Alternative Techniques Call from LA Photo Curator! a little LEMON or LIME

During the winter, I’m grateful for the extra heat of the oven after lunch or dinner.  I usually leave the oven door open until it reaches room temp.  However, come Summer, or even Spring for that matter, I will start looking for alternative ways to cook without having to combat the heat of the oven for the rest of the day.  Ceviche may be the simplest of them all.  Ceviche is a method of cooking fish or seafood in citrus juice alone –without heat.  It doesn’t produce the flaky fish you get from the oven, but if you’re a fan of sushi, you’ll love ceviche.  This next Call is all about Aternative Techniques.  I can’t wait to see this exhibit…

not a HUNGRY holiday

I’ve been on vacation for a few days.  It might be more accurate to say I’ve been eating for a solid three days.  Before we set out, every restaurant was planned, and the challenge became how to fit in all the additional little eateries and diners that popped up en route.  I was reminded, again, that fancy presentation & ingredients don’t make food more filling, more tangible, than the classics.  I enjoyed the 7″ layer cake from the 24-hour diner just as much as the gatrique-dotted gastropub fare.  This next Call wants your tangible, in the hand (not the stomach) photographs.  I love this call…

Tangible Photograph
from L.A. Photo Curator

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

THEME:  The Tangible Photography. “One of my favorite pastimes is exploring old junk shops & antique stores. I love vintage books, old photographs, ephemera, boxes, trinkets, weird oddities, games etc. I suppose I’m a nostalgic person, but the timelessness of these objects inspires me to create things myself that have a timeless physicality to them. I enjoy artwork that have visual impactfulness & a certain contextual materiality. I practice this in both my own art making as well as my publishing projects of other artists’ work. For this call for art I’m hoping to present works of photo-based art that truly transcend the notion of the 2-d (or screen) photograph. My hope with this exhibit is for viewers to expand their understanding of what photography is – or can be.” –Blue Mitchell

HOME again

I have downtown déjà vu.  Surely you’ve been in a situation that feels overwhelmingly familiar but that you know for certain you’ve never previously encountered.  Have you walked down a street and thought, “have I been here before”?  It happens to me often, but I’ve finally put my finger on it.  It always happens to me in small downtowns.  The street level experience of downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has, at its hearts, abiding similarities to Troy, New York, and Savannah, Georgia and even the Old City in Knoxville, TN.  I don’t have to have same food vendor or restaurant experience to feel “at home” away from home. It can be comforting, but it also makes escaping reality more complicated.  This next Call is interested in that same direct-from-the-sidewalk experience, no déjà vu necessary.  Take a look…

Street Shooting
from L.A. Photo Curator

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

THEME:  Street Shooting. “What is street photography? It is candid moments on the street or in any other public place such a grocery store, a mall, or a park. It is chance encounters and random incidents in public places. Street photography generally focuses on people and everyday life and shares the same ethics as photojournalism and documentary photography, meaning nothing is set up or changed in the digital darkroom. Street portraits are also considered to be street photography and like photojournalism, portraits are the only type of photograph that can be set up. Some street photographers shoot in an artful way, with shadows and light. Others shoot like a newspaper photographer, concentrating on moments among people on the street. Don’t just photograph someone walking down the sidewalk. The genre is saturated with these images. Look for unusual locations and aesthetically pleasing backgrounds. The background content is as important as the subject. The combination of the two makes the picture. Do not photograph anyone less fortunate than yourself, meaning no photos of homeless people unless you can make a strong social statement.”

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 20% of artist fees go to 2 charities –½ to the curator’s choice of charity & ½ goes to the 1st place winner’s choice.  Julia Dean has chosen the SPARK program.

For the past six years, street shooting in downtown Los Angeles has been her primary focus.  Julia was selected for a book about to be produced by Acuity Press and PDN magazine featuring 20 street shooters around the world.  Julia received a B.S. in photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology & a M.A. in journalism at the University of Nebraska.

teenage mutant ninja CHICKENS

My house smells like tom kha gai, a Thai coconut soup with chicken.  It is my personal chicken-noodle equivalent.  My husband bought chicken breast, and I weighed out the pound I needed.  Chicken is ingrained in the food vocabulary of the meat-eating population of the U.S.  We feed our children nuggets & tenders and our families buffalo wings & whole roasters.  But today, my one pound of chicken consisted of ONE boneless breast.  Regardless of how you feel about the ethical, environmental or health issues surrounding meat, you should be afraid of any chicken that has two 1lb. breasts, right?  Isn’t that chicken destined to lead an uprising against factory farmers?  Dude.  If chicken is a part of our food vernacular, then these mutant chickens are the trendy slang that I will be happy to see fade.  This next Call is about the vernacular of you and yours.  Take a look…

Vernacular
from L.A. Photo Curator

“I’d like the photographers to take a picture that has the elements of a snapshot, something you might find at a flea market, while at the same time including an aspect of their own aesthetic.” –from Paul Kopeikin via laphotocurator.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

THEME:  Vernacular.  Kopeikin came up with this theme as just having seen the Walker Evans retrospective at SFMOMA, where Evans work, American vernacular, or the language of everyday life found in roadside attractions, postcards, storefronts, and signage across the country stuck out in his memory.  Over five decades, Evans’s powerful images responded to and reflected the spirit, suffering, and fortitude of a nation. His iconic images of the Great Depression and his postwar photo essays depicting shop window displays, urban architecture, and junked automobiles defined a new documentary style that continues to influence generations of artists.  This call is not just about American vernacular. It’s about vernacular in all countries.

Everyone has a food boundary, a line they will not cross, an item they will not even consider consuming.  For many of my friends, eating something once alive, meat-poultry-fish, is out of the question.  My boundary is a moving target, but I absolutely will not eat things WHILE they are alive.  That’s a thing.

I drove from Tennessee through Arkansas to Texas in two days this week, then immediately got on a plane from Dallas to Atlanta and then on to Charlotte.  Yes, I AM road weary.  All that traveling means a lot of restaurant and convenience foods.  I was also traveling with a teenager in tow, so the food choices weren’t always the healthiest.  By day three I was in full-on vegetable withdrawal when I tripped across a new restaurant, modern & sleek, somewhere in Arkansas whose specialty was salads.  Not deconstructed, not a self-serve buffet, not odd combinations or fusion cuisine.  Just salads –Cobb, Caesar, caprese & more.  Just the classics, timelessly delicious.
