Do you remember when fast food was a super fast, super cheap option?  If you were on the go or in a hurry, lunch or dinner at a fast food joint wouldn’t break the bank.  Today, my little family of 3 stopped for lunch.  I ordered from the value menu to keep my portion sizes in check.  My two favorite men ordered sandwiches and fries.  The total was about $16.50.  Really? $16.50 for a fast food lunch?  When did this happen?  Clearly, I am out of touch with reality.  This next Call puts 1650 in a much better light.  Don’t miss this…

Check out this Call for Entries from the 1650 Gallery (Los Angeles) for I’ll Be Your Mirror: The Portrait. The entry fee is only $25, and the 1650 Gallery also offer free matting and framing. Take a closer look…

I’ll Be Your Mirror:
The Portrait

 

Great portraiture such as that produced by Dorothea Lange, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Matthew Brady, Peter Hujar and Diane Arbus comprise one of the main pillars of the Pantheon of photographic arts.

The challenge of capturing the personality behind the person requires both technical know-how and an artist’s eye, combining technique, intuition and empathy. When done right, the unseen power of persona comes into focus and, as if by magic — personality seems to jump from the page. This month 1650 Gallery tips our hat to the power of people pictures, and welcomes your work in the blockbuster genre of photographic portraiture.

ELIGIBILITY: All artists 18 years or older

MEDIA: Photography

My son loves blueberries, and buying blueberries is a happy indulgence for me to supply for him.  I have been known to buy lots of blueberry-flavored foodstuffs, but I’m also an avid label reader.  I believe people have the right to know the actual identity of what we are eating.  And folks, blueberries are a hot mess in almost any form outside the actual blueberry.  Check out foodidentitytheft.com if you’re interested.  In the meantime, this next show is all about identity.  Check it out…

Work by Guest Juror Geoff Hargadon!CALL for ENTRIES:
Art/Identity

 

Art is an extension of the self, a combination of flesh and soul that is enriched by a variety of experiences, loves, histories, and hopes. Within the criss-crossing of lines, the pooling of paint, the spectacle of performance, the mechanical memory of the photograph, and the interactivity of video, one can catch a momentary glimpse of essential characteristics of personhood. They invite you to submit work of all media that examines identity in all its forms—the personal, the social, the revolutionary, the imaginary.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists residing in the US.

MEDIA: 2D, 3D or Time Media.

Work by Guest Juror Susan Sills!DEADLINE:  May 12, 2013

NOTIFICATION: May 20, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $25 for one entry of up to 3, $40 for 2 entries (total of 6).

JUROR: A resident of Somerville, MA, Geoff Hargadon is a multimedia artist who has shown across the country. His current project, Cash for Your Warhol, has caused a stir all over the world by blurring the lines of fact and fiction, self and society, in an uncertain economic climate.

Susan Sills was born and raised in Chicago and moved to the Boston area in 1973.  After receiving a Masters in Architecture from Harvard, Sills began her career as an architect and designer. In the early 1990’s she returned to painting and combined her innovative spirit with her training and experience.  This led to an endlessly evocative body of multimedia work.  Her artistic vision exists “somewhere between the safe, structured environment of the world around us and the chaos of the textures within us all”.
