CALL for ENTRIES: A Sense of Place 2017

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the A Sense of Place exhibit from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art - GHIA!

a little KITCHEN

So, the move is complete.  My husband & I have downsized our home by half as the next step in our being completely mobile.  I am currently referring to my home as “box city” for reasons that I imagine are obvious.  Part of the move included purging my life of all the “stuff” weighing me down, including kitchen gadgets and single-use appliances.  The lack of stuff has necessarily affected my cooking as well, encouraging simplicity, whole foods & clean eating.  It is a new place, a new space & an opportunity for a fresh perspective.  This next Call, although un-themed, reinforces the idea of a unique sense of place.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art (Augusta, GA) for A Sense of Place. This is a gorgeous venue, and I always appreciate an academic show.  Don’t miss this one…

"Here Kitty Kitty" (oil & charcoal on paper) by Susan Grace
“Here Kitty Kitty” (oil & charcoal on paper) by Susan Grace

“I find that I am an obsessive observer of signs but am increasingly skeptical that I perceive them in the ways intended by those who produced them.” — Susan Grace

•

I am moving my home and downsizing again.  This is the last step on the way to making my family more mobile.   I have temporarily returned to goal-specific formal secondary education, and have just met the end of residential parenting.  My world is shifting.  I look around me for comfort in the familiar, in signs and symbols that the sun will appear once again in the morning.  And, while the sun has yet to disappoint me, it is hard not to feel isolated when you interpret all the signs differently than those around you.  I feel as a stranger in a strange land, like the title of that famous sci-fi novel.  When I read the statement of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Susan Grace, I new I’d found a kindred spirit.  Read the statement, browse the work.  Maybe we aren’t strangers after all.

Fettuccine alfredo is the picture of pasta indulgence for many folks, but I have an artery-clogging love for pasta carbonara.  If you haven’t had this egg-y, cheese-y, bacon-y deliciousness, I warn you that one taste could ruin all other pasta for you.  I like a little extra cream and a few sun-dried tomatoes & fresh green peas in mine, but I’m guessing some of you didn’t need to hear anything after bacon, ha.  This next Call includes a shot at an exhibition in Rome, from hence carbonara originates.  Take a look…

My child volunteered me to make tamales for his entire Spanish class.  He then neglected to schedule being home to assist me. (Fear not; I didn’t strangle him.) I love tamales, and I love making tamales.  The smells are earthy, the masa is fluffy & husks are the perfect wrapper.  I often make the ones that are tied at each end because I prefer the masa to filling ration.  They are more common in north Mexico and Texas.  And whaddya know… this next Call also hails from Texas.  This is a prestigious opportunity for representational artists…

I have eaten so much cake lately.

“For the Sake of Richness” (acrylic & fabric on panel) by Heather Robinson

“I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial.” —Heather Robinson

•

Four weeks left until my home, studio & storage space are cut in half.  I am trying to make the hard decisions about need versus want, necessary versus nourishing.  There is a time & place for everything, but finding those times and places is an art form all its own.  I fell in love with the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Heather Robinson, whose “Attraction” series explores some of these very themes.  I find it a comfort to know that others, both known & unknown to me, experience my thoughts & feelings & challenges as there own.  We are not alone.

Have you noticed that the only a handful of foods are regularly sold in dozens.  Eggs & pastries are most common, but there are a few others, like oysters and hot wings.  As I understand it, it started because 12 pence = a shilling, and a shilling was a convenient unit of measure for 12 eggs, a pence per.  This next Call costs more than a shilling to enter, but it is the 12th in the series.  Open to any media…

JUROR:  Founder of the highly controversial Coagula Art Journal, Mat Gleason is an internationally recognized art critic and curator of contemporary art.  Gleason’s sharp analytical tongue and ability to articulate aesthetics served him well in analyzing and critiquing competitive body painting in the Ru Paul-hosted “Skin Wars: Fresh Paint”, the television series where he sat as one of the regular judges in its lone season on network television.

He has lost count of the number of exhibitions he has curated and while blogging, writing about art and continuing to publish a milder print version of his magazine, operates Coagula Curatorial, his gallery of contemporary art on Chung King Road in L.A.’s Chinatown. A southern California native who hates all of the Bay Area’s sports teams, especially the A’s, he lives with his wife (artist Leigh Salgado) and dog (Aybar) near the city of Vernon, just south of Downtown L.A.

AWARDS:  Cash awards and a printed exhibition catalogue.

Learn more about the Tiny Monsters exhibit from the FE Gallery in Sacramento, CA! gooseBERRIES

Pineapples are showing up in mass at every grocer right now.  I can’t eat enough to take advantage of the availability, so I was contemplating making jelly or jam.  As you may know, pineapple fights the jelling process, so you have to use nearly twice as much pectin to make it work –which defeats the purpose of buying on sale.  Maybe I can freeze the cleaned pineapple and wait for gooseberries come into season.  These little treasures have huge amounts of pectin and can be made into jelly without ANY additional pectin.  This next Call wants your little treasures, but they must be monstrous…
