MOO AT ME

I one of those folks that orders RARE beef and expects it to actually BE rare. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to eat pork, beef or lamb anything other than rare or medium rare. But, I have been outdone. Have you heard about the guy that has eaten nothing but raw or rotten meat for the last five years? OMG, that’s walking a little too far on the dark side for me.

LEMON DROPS

I’ve always been lucky in the kitchen. Most of my experiments work. I often get it right the first time I try. Maybe that is how my love affair with food began–as something successful. Who isn’t attracted to being good at something? I often struggle in the studio, but the struggle produces better work. So am I lucky not to be lucky in the studio? Semantics, I suspect. Maybe this next Call will be lucky for you…

CALL for ENTRIES: Slate

Posted on August 19, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

clean your
SLATE

While on vacation, I ate slate grilled baby back ribs for the first time. Yum. You have to get past the idea that the slate is porous and might contain other food cooties from previous usage because that is part of what makes cooking with slate fantastic. Think of it as browning your grilled cheese in bacon grease. Yum, again. This next Call wants your stated inspiration. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Paint

TO OLIVE
or not to olive

Olive oil flows freely in my kitchen. I use it in everything from the obvious, sauteed mushrooms and onions, to baking and sweet treats like peanut butter cookies and brownies. Olive oil when combined with onions, celery and carrots become the foundation for almost every savory dish that exits my kitchen. It is the basis upon which everything else is built. Many feel that paint occupies that same space in the arts. This next Call wants your view on the media…

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch. What is it about being out of town that leads to over-indulgence and gluttony? Maybe I need another treat to figure it out. We’ll call it research, ha. Luckily, this next Call takes all interpretations of “figure,” even the vacation version. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Opulent Mobility

Posted on August 6, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

the lazy
GOURMET

I had another Jetsons dream. This one involved me in my futuristic kitchen that was equipped with completely mobile gadgetry. I could sit or stand in one place and everything would come to me as I needed it just by thinking it. Is it telling that I even dream about my own laziness? Maybe instead of my laziness, it was just a premonition of a design for this next Call. So cool…

Check out this Call for Entries from Dreams by Machine (Ventura, CA) for Opulent Mobility. I rarely get to describe a Call as unique and even more rarely get to publish that there is no entry fee; but, this Call is both. Don’t miss this winning combination…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Opulent Mobility

If you could have a walker, a wheelchair, crutches, prosthetic arm/leg/etc. or a home/workplace with unlimited accessibility of any style and any kind, what would that look like? What secret powers would they have? How do you re*imagine mobility and disability?

Opulent Mobility is a juried gallery show devoted to re-imagining mobility and disability. It will be held at the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura, CA from September 6-8, 2013, opening on their popular First Friday. The gallery is beautifully designed for wheelchair and walker accessibility.

MEDIA: Drawings, paintings, digital works, photography, multi-media —anything that can be hung on a wall

DEADLINE: August 19, 2013

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

Posted on July 26, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

VOLUMES
of food

I have drafted a dozen cookbooks in my head. They are usually inspired by whatever food eccentricity I am dwelling on at the moment. But they always have their roots in momentary excitement as opposed to being deep-rooted in a true philosophy about food. Maybe if I ever find myself, a cookbook will make it out of the draft stage. In the meantime, my roots will have to be of the vegetable variety. This next Call want to explore YOUR feelings on roots, or the lack thereof…

Check out this Call for Entries from DRAFTspace (NY, NY) for Rootlessness, a two-part themed exhibit. Selected artists will exhibit their solo exhibitions in the street-level pop-up space on Manhattan’s vibrant Lower East Side gallery district. This is a great chance for that New York opening you’ve always wanted…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES: Rootlessness

The exhibition series will consist of two sections – Works on Paper and Works on Space – and one exhibition proposal for each section will be chosen and realized on New York’s Lower East Side.

NY has historically been home to ethnically diverse immigrants, inspiring feelings and experiences related to migration, temporality, transformation, assimilation, or conflict. DRAFTspace is hosting this exhibition series to provoke attention and discussion about this sense of rootlessness. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme creatively.

The theme of rootlessness is connected to the unique space setup and location. The exhibit will not be held in a permanent gallery space. Instead, it will temporarily occupy a street-level vacant retail space that will be consecutively transformed to fit the different identity and characteristics of each exhibition.

The Lower East Side where this event will take place has long been an immigrant neighborhood and has seen a series of immigrant communities pass through it. The area has undergone gentrification, starting in the mid-2000s and has since become home to upscale boutiques and numerous contemporary art galleries.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, or Illustration for “Works on Paper” section OR Sculpture or Site-Specific Mixed Media Installations for “Works on Space” section

DEADLINE: August 31, 2013

NOTIFICATION: September 15, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $40 per entry for up to 10 images

AWARDS: $500 Cash Prize & Solo Exhibition. The artist of each selected proposal will receive a $500 cash prize and his or her solo exhibition proposal will be realized.

CALL for ENTRIES: GeAb vs AbEx

Posted on July 5, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

RED and GREEN
make brown

My cooking could be kindly described as abstract. As long as I get the flavor profile correct, I tend not to care if it actually looks like the textbook dish. That results in a lot of brown food for some reason. Maybe it is my love of of dark vinegars and mushrooms. Who knows. This next Call is looking for your abstractions. Don’t miss it this chance…

Check out this Call for Entries from EWNS Art Project (France) for the GeAb vs AbEx exhibit. Selection for this show gets you into an online gallery, and you may additionally have the opportunity to participate in the Paris gallery exhibition. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Mother Earth

Posted on June 24, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

the
HEART-BEET
of health

I am convinced that food is the future of health care. I don’t really fit the stereotype of a patchouli-wearing, dread-locked Mother Earth worshiper. But as I age, I find myself turning away from traditional medicine and turning toward food remedies. All I can say is that it is working for me, and it has added a whole new air of importance to the food I already so dearly love. This next Call wants your take on Mother Earth. May I suggest beets?

Check out this Call for Entries from ArtAscent (online) for Mother Earth, their 2nd Int’l Art Competition. If you haven’t figured it out, hard copy art publication is being replaced by online art magazines. You can’t beat ’em, so I suggest you join them.

Mother Earth

So, what does Mother Earth represent to you? Existentialism, the human struggle, environmentalism, spirituality, wellness, origins, mythology, balance, cultural unity and interconnectivity, responsibility, something else? –from artascent.com
