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.  I’ve worked with Lanie in Austin before at the Austin Figurative Gallery, and she brings a refreshing curatorial vision.  Don’t miss this “no entry fee” opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Surrealist Influence
on Contemporary Photography

Learn more about The Surrealist Influence show in Austin at The Hideout Theatre!“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

I often eat more after dinner than I do the rest of the day combined.  We jokingly assume I have a tape worm, and we have named him “Fred.”  Fred seems to enjoy alternatingly salty and sweet snacks until he finally passes out from exhaustion.  Popcorn then cookies then pretzels then cereal and so on.  It ain’t pretty folks.  This next Call wants to see your view of the hours between dusk and dawn.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Between Dusk & Dawn from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Kentucky).  The entry fee is low, and I am intrigued by the theme.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Between Dusk & Dawn

 

Between the last light of day and the first rays of dawn, the world as we normally see it transforms to one in which nightclubs, all-night stores, third shift workers, and nocturnal wildlife take center stage. Spaces abuzz with activity during the day become quiet and desolate, and artificial light transforms mundane spaces into something almost magical. Photographers who work at night experience a nocturnal world through which most sleep.

The perception of night is different for each photographer. For some, the darkness can present a time for reflection and repose, for others, the fear of the unknown instills feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. For Between Dusk and Dawn, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images that explore the night or other darkness visually, metaphorically, and emotionally.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  All photographic media are encouraged.

Learn more about Juror Brie Castell!DEADLINE:  March 30, 2012

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

Castell has also been working as a photo-based artist for 12 years, has exhibited extensively around the country, and in numerous public and private collections. Castell received her MFA from East Carolina University, and currently teaches photography at Brevard College.

AWARDS:  For this exhibition, juror Brie Castell will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, and up to an additional 40 to be included in the online gallery.  All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase.  A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice award will also be announced.

Night Light

 

Night photography reveals a world that we do not consciously see and offers photographers unique creative opportunities.

Night and day, dark and light – one implies the absence of the other. But like yin yang, each has a bit of the other. The surprising thing to first time night photographers is how their images reveal things that the mind’s eye does not see. Different light sources reveal their true colors. Compared to daylight, directed and weaker light creates drama, contrast, mystery and mood.

The dynamic range of light at night tends to be more in line with our tools abilities. Of course there are technical challenges with shooting in low light, but also tremendous creative opportunities. That’s what Darkroom Gallery wants to show with this exhibit.

Do you work with existing light – or do you introduce your own? Maybe you paint with light emitting light brushes. How have you approached shooting at night to express your vision? They want to see.

Spontaneous

 

Spontaneity is the hallmark for great documentary and street photography where the moments of life, often ironic, poignant, emotionally charged, tragic or absurd are frozen.

Photography provides the means to capture a moment but which moment makes all the difference. Well known masters include Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith with recent discoveries such as Vivian Maier and Frank Oscar Larson adding to a long list of great photographers.

Learn more about the Darkroom Gallery online!

Many of the scenes captured by practitioners of this art, with the possible exception of war and extreme sports documentary, pass before us every day, but we do not see.

This exhibit is dedicated to those who strive to see, realize and then manifest vision and moment into an image so that we can all see what is right in front of us or inaccessible in some other way. Showing us the remarkable moments that make up the, often unconscious, Human Experience.

Self-Portraiture

 

A photographer’s most reliable subject is his or her self. By turning the camera on oneself the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, presenting themselves to the world as both artist and subject.

Self-portraiture is often used to explore and manipulate identity. The photographer invites judgement and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this exhibition, The Kiernan Gallery seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the artist; their stories, struggles and triumphs.

Through a Lens– Vibrant

 

Vibrant and vibrate have the same latin root word: “vibrare” meaning to move rapidly and rhythmically to and fro. While vibrate means virtually the same thing in English, vibrant has additional connotations as it applies to brightness of light or color, or as in how alive or energetic is the given subject – literally vibrating with life. “

Through a Lens: Vibrant! gives the photographer several options. Vibrant could apply to a light or hue in the composition, or it could apply to the subject, as to a person or in a street. It could even be stretched to apply to the process – check out the vibrance adjustment layer in photoshop. Which definition of “Vibrant!” will you choose?
