REMINDER: Art Inter/National

Posted on June 4, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

REMINDER:

EAT your
HEART out!

While watching a TV show about how salami is made, my son announced that eating the organs of an animal is wrong. However, when I explained all the things that his new belief would eliminate from his menu, he then asked, “Do they at least WASH the intestines first?” Hehehe. These days I prefer my animal organs in the form of chicken pate, but I will have to start keeping the ingredient list to myself, apparently. This next Call for Entries involves a different sort of heart all together. This could be an excellent opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Ten Second Film Festival

Posted on April 23, 2012April 23, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PASS THE SPOON,
please

I am the soup queen. I accidentally found out during a run of bad weather one winter during which we couldn’t make it to the grocery store that I am really good at making soup. I had a whole series of artwork happen because I accidentally put myself in a situation where I was trapped at home too. My point? Maybe life is just a series of accidents, and with any luck, maybe more of them will be happy than not. If you’ve accidentally (or purposefully) shot 10 seconds of good film, here’s your chance to put it to good use.

Check out this Call for Entries from The Soap Factory for Ten Second Film Festival. It is free to enter. You can email your entry. And your work could have an audience of thousands. What do you have to lose?

LESS TALKING,
more eating…

There is a point at which loving food turns into a food obsession. I am self-aware enough to know that I have long passed that point. I cannot simply EAT anything. Eating requires dissection and discussion before digestion. Dinner is often cold by the time it is eaten fully. Likewise, I meet emerging artists simply obsessed with conquering their first solo show. This next call will require your own dissection and discussion before digestion. Bon appetite…

Check out this Open Call from The Soap Factory (Minneapolis, MN). The Soap factory is looking for work for group exhibits, AND they offer installation support, travel, accommodations, and a stipend to those selected to exhibit. Did I mention NO ENTRY FEE?

CALL for ENTRIES: The Surrealist Influence

Posted on April 3, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ENCHILAD – AHHHs?

The spirit of culinary improvisation is alive and well at my house. Exact ingredients are unheard of, and trips to the grocery store are always necessary. Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and red wine vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar will do in a pinch. We’ll see how the enchiladas turn out tonight, ha. This next Call is for a show located in the heart of improvisation, and I love the theme too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for The Surrealist Influence on Contemporary Photography being curated by Lanie McCormick for The Hideout Theatre in Austin, TX.

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Surrealist Influence
on Contemporary Photography

“Surrealism started out as a philosophical movement in the 1920s. The Manifesto, written by André Breton laid out the goals of the surrealist group which was comprised of writers, philosophers and artists. Freud was a huge influence on the movement with his practice of interpreting the meaning of dreams. That idea played out visually amongst the group which left us with rich visual oddities from artists such as Dali, Magritte, Ernst, Miro and Man Ray.

“I feel the surrealist artists impacted my own methods of creating, and encouraged me to look within to find a deeper significance with my art. Now I am looking for other photographers who have followed a similar path and others who have felt a kindred connection to the surrealist artists or movement.” –Lanie McCormick, Curator

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All Photographic media is welcomed and artwork should reflect the influence of surrealism. Artwork that shows forethought as well as strong aesthetic and compositional elements will be given priority. Work should be created within the last two years.

DEADLINE: April 14, 2012

NOTIFICATION: April 21, 2012

ENTRY FEE: None. In lieu of an entry fee selected artists will be asked to bring a bottle of wine, or snack tray for the opening celebration. If you are shipping your work, you are welcome to send a $10 contribution.

CURATOR: Learn more about photographer/curator Lanie McCormick!

SALES: No commission. The Hideout does not take a percentage of sales from artwork that is sold, and neither does the curator. The goal of this show is to celebrate art and have a strong exhibition.

CALL for PROPOSALS: Solo in Vegas

Posted on March 29, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BEADS of SILVER

Dragées remind me of Las Vegas. You know… the little candy beads, often silver, that you see decorating cakes and cupcakes. Dragées also remind me of a Martha Stewart show many moons ago when Miss Piggy was the guest star, and they made cookies decorated with “dra-geeeees,” as Miss Piggy pronounced it. But, I digress. This next call has nothing to do with Miss Piggy and everything to do with Vegas. Take a look…
