CALL for ENTRIES: Spontaneous

Posted on January 12, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BEAM me
DOWN
an EGGLPLANT
please

I dislike the lack of spontaneity involved in home-cooking. I am fairly certain that I am not the only one that thinks Pastitsio (one of my favorite Greek dishes) is a weekends-only meal. What I really need is one of those Star Trek food replicators. Oops. Did I just unfurl my geek flag? Oh Well. At least we can count on this next show to be spontaneous. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Spontaneous. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and I love that they will provide free matting and framing if you work in their standard sizes. 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:
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.

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.

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

MEDIA:
Photography.

DEADLINE: Feb 22, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Feb. 28, 2012

JUROR: Nikos Economopoulos began his photography career inn 1988 with a long-term project in Greece and Turkey. He photographed whatever he came across on his daily walks: street scenes, public gatherings, solitary meanderers, or deserted landscapes.

In 1990, Economopoulos’ photographs began to appear in newspapers and magazines worldwide. In the same year he started to take photographs in Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and the former Yugoslavia, investigating the territorial, ethnic and religious tensions of the region, as well as the endurance of traditional social and religious rites. This work earned him the Mother Jones Award in 1992.

Subsequent work includes lignite miners and the Muslim minority in Greece, people living along the Green Line dividing southern and northern Cyprus; illegal immigrants at the Greek-Albanian border; and young residents of Tokyo, mass emigration of ethnic Albanians fleeing Kosovo. He was given the Abdi Ipektsi Award for peace and friendship between Greece and Turkey in 2001.

Nikos has published ten books and his work is in the permanent collections of Centre Méditerranéen de la Photographie and the Benaki Museum. He organizes a series of photography workshops in locations in eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.

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.

CALL for ENTRIES: iSpy Cell Phone Photos

My COUS COUS

I read alot of facebook posts slamming folks that post cell phone pics of their food. Sorry, I do it too. See my Cayman Islands lunch pictured left. Be patient with the food-obsessed; we’re people too. Our exaggerated sense of self-importance has us convinced that you will be so happy for us when you see our latest creation or out-to-eat treat. I am certain there is a diagnosis out there that I haven’t heard of. Be kind. This next show might be willing to take some of those food pics off our hands, though. Whatcha think?

Photography has always had a special place in art as a technology-driven medium. It has evolved from glass plates to film, to the 35mm, disposable cameras; to the digital revolution, always becoming more and more accessible.

REMINDER: Monochromatic

LATER TATER

If you’re looking for a food goal for the year–swear off most things beige or brown. Let’s face it, we can all live with deep-fried-everything from potato chips to chicken, and all those tater, rice and white bread aren’t helping us either. I am not suggesting it will help you lose any extra pounds, but you might feel a little better. This next show is interested in the monochromatic issues as well. Investigate…

“The term accessories has come to include a host of photographic gadgets of questionable value…“Ansel Adams, The Camera

“A good daguerreotype was as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made.” Edward Steichen

These two masters enriched the history of photography by being some of the first to experiment with new technologies in a relatively new art medium. They were also traditionalists and truly embraced manual and old photography processes. The hundred and fifty photographers from Steichen’s world is millions today, and finding “as perfect a kind of photograph as was ever made” is no longer as simple.

Digital cameras and editing software have transformed the medium and opened up whole new worlds for the 21st century photographer. We have dozens of “apps” that help us tweak a digital image to “perfection” in minutes. A vast repertoire of image resources we look to for inspiration and meaning still brings us to the same point of reflection as photographers of the early 20th century: what is the art of photography?

Black and white photography, a genre that many would claim made them fall in love with image-making in the first place, has remained completely relevant and contemporary despite it’s ancient roots. It is timeless, sometimes soft, sometimes dramatic and brings new perspective to images and image making. Whether you are a darkroom purist or a Photoshop craftperson, show us your love for hue-less images. The Darkroom Galllery wants to see YOUR best black and white or alternative process images for an exhibit that will pay tribute to the origins of photography and praise it’s development.

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

MEDIA: Photography. Monochrome images from traditional silver black and whites to cyanotypes, sepia toned photographs and anything else in the color-less spectrum.

His style focuses on simplifying and expressing with intimacy the perspectives in nature.

In 2009, he moved to the Oahu island of Hawaii, where he now works as a professional fine art black and white landscape photographer, specializing in large format prints series using a digital medium format Hasselblad camera. Maleszyk has received numerous awards for his work.

CEREAL
or TREASURE?

Every home-cooked meal is a hand-made treasure. It does not matter what it is–from frozen pizza to chocolate souflee. Most of us would just eat a bowl of cereal if weren’t for the other people in our lives that need to be nourished, physically and otherwise. So regardless of the content, every meal is a gift.

CALL for ENTRIES: Absence of Color

Posted on December 21, 2011December 17, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CABBAGE,
not KRAUT

People tell me the wackiest food facts. I love hearing them, and I usually assume I am being told the truth. But, just to be certain, I always verify the facts if I can. Recently someone told me that the black and white cookie, that I alway think of as German in orgin, IS actually German, but it is called an Amerikaner. There has to be some cyclical humor in the fact that an American who thought she was a fan of German cookies is really only a fan of cookies that Germans refer to as American cookies. Funny. This next call is all about Black and White, too. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for Black & White: Absence of Color from MPLS Photo Center (Minneapolis, MN). This is a great venue and a great juror. Don’t miss this opportunity!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Black & White: Absence of Color

The world’s first photographic images were made in shade of gray, black, and white, and the black and white photograph continues to be an important palette for photographers today. The beauty of a well-printed black and white photograph is undeniable—it is striking, unearthly, and can be life changing.

Some of the world’s most memorable photographs are black and white—the rich blacks, glowing whites, and silvery grays of a strong, black and white photograph leave a lasting impression on the mind. For photographers, those deep blacks hold a special significance, as it is the black tones that reveal themselves first in photographic chemistry and communicate the magic, mystery, and possibility of the photographic process.

Black and white photographs can have painterly, etching-like qualities, which were celebrated by photography’s inventors and early adopters. Photography as art was first championed with The Photo-Secessionists who celebrated the pictorial aspect of the black and white image. Today photography is widely accepted as an art form and as a key medium within contemporary and conceptual art.

The choice of using black and white versus color is the photographer’s choice, and the reasons for that choice can be personal, theoretical, or aesthetic. This call for entry—Black and White—The Absence of Color—looks to grays and blacks and whites to tell the story and make the picture that color would often muddy.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.

BEET me PURPLE

I prefer my foods on the edge of extreme–from color to taste. My newest favorite are little purple, fingerling potatoes. Yum. In addition to being beautiful, those brightly colored foods tend to be higher in iron and anti-oxidants that your body needs to be healthy. I have sworn of the beige potato chip or two, but I’ll take beets instead on most days. This next show is interested in the black and white extremes. Investigate…

Posted on December 14, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PASS the LOAM

Earthy foods are yummy. I know that is obvious to many of you. But, I have to say that learning to appreciate earthy foods is the biggest change in my palate over the years. I’m still not a fan of what I call “dirt crackers.” I DO have my earthy limits, but I am in love with whole grains, whole foods, in fact. And the earthiness of merlot doesn’t exactly hurt my feelings. Food should taste like itself, not the over-refined, processed version of itself that is so cheaply and readily available these days. This next show wants to see earthy through your eyes. Interesting…

CALL for ENTRIES: Julia Margaret Cameron Award

Posted on December 6, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY TRUTH

French food is the gold standard. You don’t have to agree with me; it is objective fact. It isn’t all about sauce. I believe it is all about the cheese. The French boast 350 to 400 TYPES of cheese… maybe 1000. I haven’t tried them all yet; it is on my bucket list. Until I try them all and pronounce my favorite, give Sainte-Maure de Touraine a try. Could you pick some up for me when you’re at this opening?

Check out this Call for Entries for the Julia Margaret Cameron Award from the Worldwide Photography Gala Awards. Here a chance to fulfill all of your beret-wearing, Eiffel Tower visiting Parisian art fantasies. Sign me up…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Julia Margaret Cameron Award

ELIGIBILITY: Professional and non professional female artists from all countries.

MEDIA: Photography. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental works that include old and new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements will be welcome.

DEADLINE: December 30th, 2011, at 11:59pm PST

NOTIFICATION: March 8th, 2012 (honoring the International Women’s Day)

ENTRY FEE: $40 for the first 3 images; $10 each additional image

JUROR: Amber Terranova is the photo editor for Photo District News. She worked previously for New York magazine and Outside. She holds a BFA in photography from the School of Visual Arts, Manhattan. Amber has assisted with programming at Center, a Santa Fe-based non-profit organization that supports photographers. Her taste in photography tends toward emerging and established artists with strong personal projects, surprising content and evidence of political or social engagement. She’s most drawn to introspective, provocative work.

Dina Bova was born in Moscow and currently lives in Israel. Her images have been awarded in Px3, Hasselbald Masters, Sony Awards, 1st edition of the JMCA, Nikon, PDN’s World in Focus, and have won 21 Gold medals in international photo-contests under FIAP/PSA patronage in USA, Austria, France, England, Croatia, Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. Her art is a world of allegories, metaphors and multifaceted associations. She thinks that it’s not important how an artist creates his work. It can be created with any tool and any medium, but it should speak for itself and convey a very special mood. It should need no explanation, no elaboration and no apologies. It can be very aesthetic or the opposite of it. For Dina, the most important thing is freeing the imagination.

AWARDS: The Julia Margaret Cameron Award will be given to 12 women photographers which will be invited to exhibit (and sell) their work in a very selective collective exhibition in Paris during 2013, honoring one hundredth year of the birth of Robert Capa, co-founder of Magnum Photos and famous war photojournalist. WPGA will take care of the framing and matting, as well as all gallery expenses. A catalog will be printed, and all 12 awardees will receive one free copy.

SALES: Exhibitors will receive 40% of the sales, 20% will be reserved for the gallery/organizers, and 40% will be donated to a charitable organization selected by the awardees.

Trail mix is another reason that I don’t hike. Well, that and the shoes. My girlfriends and I are scheduled to hike up to LeConte Lodge in May of 2012. At an elevation of 6593′, I’m clearly going to have to give up the stilettos, but I’m still hoping I can smuggle some brie and pate in my backpack.
