REMINDER: The Human Form

Posted on November 27, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BERRY me
in BRIE

I believe that I am what I have eaten. I have learned that the contents of my diet directly informs my mood, energy level, and even my creative tendencies. I love fried chicken as much as the next sad and depressed person, but I have learned that fried chicken doesn’t make it better. A crusty loaf, ripe wedge of brie and a handful of raspberries can transform my body and my mind. If you believe that people are what they eat, then this next Call is a smorgasboard. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for The Human Form. 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…

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Human Form

Our bodies:

The human form is unceasingly beautiful, complex, and remarkable. It is one of the very few things that all of us has in common, and yet is a source of perpetual cultural, spiritual, and scientific dissension. What better proof of this diversity than through the Photographic Arts; the Human Form has been its eternally devoted, perpetual muse. The body insights love, loss, envy and greed, devotion and esteem – as one of our most valued photographic subjects, our images do the same.

The Human Form,
simple yet subtly complex,
always present yet hidden,
expose your vision.

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature Undisturbed 2012

Posted on November 25, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

BOTTOMS UP

Call me closed minded, but there are somethings that I am not interested in eating. Nature is in my face here in the Great Smoky Mountains, and we eat local honey for its ability to help reduce our allergies. However, I am not drinking poison ivy tea everyday for 6 weeks to reduce my chance of breaking out in a rash. People do it. I went on a guided hike and listened to my naturalist explain the ritual to me. Call me crazy, but you shouldn’t eat anything whose name starts with “poison”. Some things ought not be disturbed. This Call for Entries is proof that others think the same. Read on…

Check out this Call for Entries from Dogwood Gallery for the 4th showing of Nature, Undisturbed. Here’s a chance to show your work and help out nature conservation at the same time. Bonus…last year they sold a significant portion of the work! Take a look…

REMINDER: The Built Environment

Posted on November 22, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

GLORIOUS
GÂTEAUX!

Build it, and I will eat. I stand in awe of pastry chefs. Most of the ones I know are delightfully batty (industry rumor is that the flour makes you a little off center). I love that their creations are often part art, part architechture. If you don’t think how something looks affects how it tastes, you are clearly eating ugly food. This next Call wants to see the built environment that inspires you. But HURRY, the deadline is fast approaching…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery in Vermont called The Built Environment. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom offers free framing & matting on accepted work!

* Editor’s Note: You guys always knock it out of the park with this gallery. Please make sure that you tell them that you found the show on Art & Art Deadlines so they know that all the talent is here at AAAD.

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
The Built Environment

Images that capture a vision of the man made world around us.

We’ve been documenting the built environment since the beginnings of photography. It’s natural – our lives are entwined with and dependent upon structures of all kinds. Let us examine the genius designs, abundant materials both found and fabricated, engineering feats, beauty and function, of our constructed environments. Technical mastery has much to do with a great architectural photograph, but also an understanding of the architect’s vision, and/or the humanity that invigorates and utilizes its spaces.

Whether a skyscraper or a shed, chasm span or walking bridge, from convenience store to industrial complex, public or personal (heck, an outhouse is a pertinent structure), and even the remains of such, Darkroom Gallery is looking forward to featuring your built environments.

JUROR: With an engineering degree from Trinity College (Dublin) and an Architect/Author father (Raymond McGrath), Norman McGrath was primed for educated view of his subject. He has been photographing architecture and interiors for decades, capturing the work of major architects and designers and their well-known works. His images have been featured in the foremost architectural publications, as well as his popular book, “Photographing Buildings Inside Out”. The American Institute of Architects selected McGrath for its Institute Honor award. McGrath continues to author and co-author books illustrated with architectural photography (“Manhattan Skyscrapers”, “Skyscraper Rivals”, and New York’s Pennsylvania Station”) as well as educate and inspire students of photography at the Maine Photographic Workshops, the Palm Beach Photo Workshops, and the Calumet Institute of the University of Maryland.

HUMBLE PIE

There is more to San Francisco cuisine than Rice-A-Roni. The last time I used the rice/San Francisco food reference, I got more than a few emails from readers that thought it was a bit on the shallow side. My apologies. San Francisco is noted for being home to some of the best restaurants in the US, like Perbacco (no, they are not a sponsor). So, if you find yourself looking for a dinner reservation before the opening of the show for this Call, consider it recommended. Next…

CALL for ENTRIES: Family Dynamics

Posted on November 11, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PESKY PESTO

Families have definite food personalities. My in-laws love carbs…and cream of mushroom soup. My mother loves pork in all its various forms, from chops to bacon. And, of course, my family craves BOLD flavors, from sweet thai chili sauce and wasabi to truffle butter and pesto. Can you imagine what our family dinners are like? Odd. This next Call is interested in YOUR family dynamics. Interested?

Family Dynamics

PUMPKIN
eater!

I am frugal, or cheap, depending on your viewpoint. I tend to love for so many reason, but mainly because the weather is much cooler. And, winter produce is much cheaper. I love root vegetables and squash of all sorts. Maybe I’ll take a trip to the pumpkin farm. Pumpkin isn’t just for pies and pancakes, you know? Try it in beef tangine instead of butternut squash. I’ll miss the fresh greens by Spring time, but that we make them taste all the better. This next call invites you to share a single image or your agricultural influence. Make me proud…

EXPOSE your

Some foods require exposure therapy, and my child is proof. Let’s face it, not every food makes your palate sing on first taste. I still can’t get my kid to eat brussel sprouts, but through endless enforcement of the you-have-to-at-least-try-it rule, he now voluntarily eates tomatoes, pinto beans, butternut squash, and even spinach salad. This next Call wants to see your exposures. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Plastic Camera Show

Posted on October 26, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

J-E-L-L-NO?

The newest way isn’t always the best way. I love new fusion foods and the newest in scientifically gastronomic menus. But we still eat Jell-O at my house…with cocktail fruit. No kidding. I have cookbooks with wonderfully vivid pictures of savory Jello-O creations like salmon mousse terrine mold. Some ideas are worth preserving, although I cannot vouch for the salmon terrine. This Call is asking you to preserve a means and method that is a little less than current too. Interested in exploring this opportunity?

Check out this Call for Entries from RayKo Photo Center (San Francisco, CA) for the 5th Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show. The entry fee is low, and I can’t wait to see how many of you own a plastic camera…or end up buying one. Take a look…

5th Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show

This competition is open to artists working with plastic cameras with plastic lenses (click the link if you are looking to buy one). The more obsolete, flawed, and lo-tech, the better. Images should be taken with cameras with limited controls, such as Diana, Holga, Lubitel, Lomo, Banner, and Ansco cameras. Beautiful prints from less-than-gorgeous cameras – that’s what we’re looking for! This is RayKo’s largest exhibition of the year with artists from all over the globe submitting work, and hundreds of attendees at the reception.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists.
