Stir
SLOWLY!

I didn’t have stir-fry last night because I was too tired to chop vegetables. No really. Try to stifle your amusement at my laziness, but my life is never still.

Check out this Call for Entries for Still Life from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is well-documented. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Still Life

From Dutch masters’ paintings to contemporary photography, the still life has played an important role in art history. This genre grants the artist complete control over their subjects, allowing unparalleled ability to select details and manipulate the scene.

Still lifes often employ symbolism, where the objects assume their own character and identity. An entire story can be told with the arrangement of a few items; toys, dolls, and household goods become surrogates, and natural life is given a persona. For Still Life: The Art of Arrangement, The Kiernan Gallery seeks evocative and symbolic still life images.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: August 20, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: 5 for $25, each add’l $5

CALL for ENTRIES: id – The Object of Self

Posted on July 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

An APPLE
a day…

I have fought a lifelong battle with apples. I like Granny Smiths, but I avoid the mealiness of Red Delicious. I like apple pie and apple butter, but I try to avoid the massive refined sugar intake. I have a newly found love of home-dried October Black apples from our local orchard, but I am still coming to grips with the other preparations. This next Call wants to see if you might be the apple of your own eye. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for id – The Object of Self. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. The jury method for this one is a change from the norm. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
id – The Object of Self

The self-portrait: Is it your compulsion? Your obsession? An impulse?

Was it out of necessity (the mandatory Photo 101 exercise, a portrait for the office newsletter, or because you needed to self-promote)? Is it the autobiographical record you decided was best told in image?

Sometimes we have to step in front of the lens – we can’t seem to communicate what we want to others, or maybe we’re just the most convenient choice for a model (the least expensive, for sure). Even if we got there by default, there is no one better able to translate our vision to the camera than ourselves. Perhaps you were experimenting with persona or striving for a personal perfection? Were you desperately seeking Self?

For those willing to dig deep and bare all, the self-portrait is a reward for your bravery – because whether you love it or hide it in the depths of your archives for decades, you’ve learned from it. Whatever your intention, there is nothing closer to an authentic portrait, than to sit both behind and in front of the lens. And whether for totally narcissistic or completely humble intents – you have to admit, it’s you.

ELIGIBILITY: Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If younger, you must have a legal guardian make the submission for you.

JUROR: Cig Harvey exhibits internationally, teaches internationally, and photographs everywhere in between. She balances her always imperative personal imaging pursuits with a large number of commercial clients. She is published widely, has won numerous awards, and retains a reputation as an instructor/mentor that leaves waiting lists worldwide.

Cig will choose a Juror’s Choice and honorable mentions, but otherwise, it’s all YOU! Each of you who submits your self-portraits will be able to vote for up to four images (including one of yours if you’re that confident!). No anxiety here…images will be anonymous, labeled with titles and medium only if provided by their authors. You will not know who you are voting for, and your peers will not know who you voted for. Only those who make a submission will have access to vote. Though you are not required to vote, by submitting your images, you give the other submitters the right to view (and vote for) your images. The 50 to 60 images that get the most votes will be showcased in our gallery and online.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in the gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 20×35″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

SALES: Darkroom offers free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of their exhibitions, subject to standard sizes.

REMINDER: Mobile-O-Graphy

Posted on July 15, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PURPLE POTATO,
pomegranate

Produce is the every man’s gourmet food. I will try to avoid preaching about the cost of produce being a contributing factor to the unhealthy eating habits of people world wide, but the truth is, I spend a larger percentage of my grocery budget on fresh produce than anything else, including proteins. But if you have the desire for a gourmet treat, it doesn’t have to be thousand-dollar truffle oil or exotic sashimi-grade fish. Try a new fruit. The taste found in a pomegranate is not to be believed. Substitute a purple potato in your recipe. Buy a fresh herb plant for your kitchen window; just one will do. This next Call wants the every man’s gourmet photo–the cell phone pic. Investigate…

REMINDER:
Mobile-O-graphy

Images made with mobile phones are becoming part of the photographic mainstream. Made with a phone camera, processed on the phone and even printed from the phone, these images are showing up in exhibitions both as a genre and alongside classic silver gelatin prints. Show them your latest mobile creations.

What distinguishes mobile device photography from that made with other devices? Less and Less. Possibly the fact that you can do it all on one device is unique. Sometimes the images created with mobile devices are more candid. Having a camera with us all the time lets us capture moments that can otherwise escape. Very quickly mobile phones are becoming just another type of camera taking their place alongside pin hole cameras, toy cameras, point and shoot cameras, SLR cameras etc. Here, in the gallery, we say it over and over – it’s not the camera – it’s the photographer’s vision and skill that makes a great photograph. Last year’s mobile phone photography exhibit said it. They want this year’s exhibit to prove it.

PARSLEY,
please

My parsley is unhappy with me. I’ve been planting a summer garden for the past week, and my husband and I are getting it done in shifts. All of the plants that aren’t in the ground yet have been fairly tolerant when given a little sun, a little shade and a lot of water–except the parsley. I love Italian flat leaf parsley. It isn’t just a garnish, folks. I can’t make chicken soup or marinara without it, but my two parsley plants are protesting having their feet off the ground. This next call has a deadline that is rapidly approaching, too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the 8th Art of Photography Show which is being held at the San Diego Art Institute this year. The cost to enter is about average; however, last year, 1700 people attended the reception, and the award are spectacular. That’s a bargain…

Picnic stereotypes make me laugh so hard that wine shoots from my nose. My favorite cliche is the romantic hot air balloon ride with wine, cheese and grapes. Since most people have at least a mild fear of heights, I think the only thing in my picnic basket would be ginger ale and saltines. Romantic, eh? At least I can appreciate the balloons from the ground. This next Call wants to see if you appreciate them too. Go there…

Secrets and Mysteries

If your audience is standing indefinitely motionless, entranced by the possibilities in your work and in devising an infinitude of scenarios and alternate endings, then you’ve made an image that will inspire gallery visitors with the beauty of ambiguity, mystery and perplexity.

Darkroom Gallery wants to see your images that lead the imagination to the edge, encouraging the mind to leap. Multiple exposures, constructions, staged, anything goes, just leave them guessing.

Steamed veggies are dressed with vinaigrette and chilled. And fresh salad of crunchy cabbage and carrots are served ice cold. The next call has no theme, but it opens in the Summer heat.
