CALL for ENTRIES: This May Have Happened

Posted on June 20, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

SHOPPING
in my sleep

Sometimes it seems as though the days of half-hour grocery trips were only a dream, but I know it really happened, right? These days it take at least 90 minutes to read all the labels, pick the lesser of the evils AND search for the best deals. But, I believe in a future that allows me to grow most of my food. Ah, to sleep, perchance to dream. This next Call wants to know how it happens in your dreams. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
This May Have Happened

The power of photography as document or proof is well-demonstrated. Photographic images are often crafted to exist alone, as singular facts.

At the same time, the narrative possibilities of still photography develop from the power of suggestion, the potential of the open-ended scene, the unresolved thrill of the cliff-hanger. The stories that these images suggest may or may not be factual, but their power comes from allowing the audience to bring its own sense of plot and tension to the work. We are looking as much for questions as we are for answers.

Think noir. Think sweeping epic. Think fairy tale. Think cause and effect. Think characters.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to all photographic work.

DEADLINE: July 18, 2014

NOTIFICATION: Mid-August

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

CALL for ENTRIES: The Surrealist Influence

Posted on April 3, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ENCHILAD – AHHHs?

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…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
The Surrealist Influence
on Contemporary Photography

“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

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All Photographic media is welcomed and artwork should reflect the influence of surrealism. Artwork that shows forethought as well as strong aesthetic and compositional elements will be given priority. Work should be created within the last two years.

DEADLINE: April 14, 2012

NOTIFICATION: April 21, 2012

ENTRY FEE: None. In lieu of an entry fee selected artists will be asked to bring a bottle of wine, or snack tray for the opening celebration. If you are shipping your work, you are welcome to send a $10 contribution.

CURATOR: Learn more about photographer/curator Lanie McCormick!

SALES: No commission. The Hideout does not take a percentage of sales from artwork that is sold, and neither does the curator. The goal of this show is to celebrate art and have a strong exhibition.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: Manipulated

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

FREAKY FOOD

Genetically modified and manipulated food freaks me out. I eat it regularly–not because I choose to, but because disclosure is not required. What freaks me out is the unknown end result. Maybe nothing is wrong with GM food, but shouldn’t we figure that out before we start stuffing it in everything? You might be shocked by how much of the raw foods we eat are manipulated, and the processed foods we eat are packed as well. This next Call puts a lovely spin on the modified and manipulated… and stays away from my food, thank-you-very-much.

Check out this Call for Entries for Manipulated from Castell Photography in Asheville, NC! The entry fee is only $25 for 3 images, and this is an excellent opportunity for photographers to push their boundaries a little. Take a closer look…

A road trip is synonymous with nostalgia; they are opportunities for memorable moments of exploration and experience. The best road trips are the ones that offer us indelible experiences – experiences touching the things and people that we barely get to know and may never see again, but which leave lifelong impressions.

Where have you been? What and whom did you see? How did you see them? Whether it was from a convertible or a bicycle, on trailer or train, boat, parachute or via your own two feet, you’ve captured the essence of the freedoms and inspirations we feel being ‘on the road’. Show us the photographic moments you’ve captured that will inspire our next trip.

CALL for ART ENTRIES: Toyed With

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

NO EXTRA
STARCH,
please!

Newer isn’t always better. Once upon a time, all fast-food french fries were similar to the yumminess that is McDonald’s fries. But about a decade ago, someone (to protect the guilty, I won’t mention their names) decided that all fast food fries needed to be crispier and started add weird stuff to mashed potatoes and extruding a fry-like stick that my family calls “starch sticks.” Luckily, the golden fries from the golden arches remain the same as always. This next Call gives you an opportunity to prove that newer isn’t always better.

Check out this Call for Art Entries for Toyed With a low-fidelity / alternative process photo show at Open Shutter Gallery in Durango, Colorado. Enter your photographs for $25, but be sure to make the July 8th deadline!

CALL for ENTRIES: Down on the Farm

Posted on May 8, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

FARM FRESH
GOODNESS

My local farmers market opens soon… have you check out yours lately? I am green-ish about energy conservation, re-use and recycling. I must admit that I am more motivated when there is a cash savings involved. But with food, I am all about the green alternatives. Local foods are fresher and tend to be cheaper, and some local products like honey are said to help combat seasonal allergies. This Call gives you the perfect opportunity to embrace all that you love about farm fresh goodness. Take a look at this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Darkroom Gallery called Down on the Farm. Enter your work for as little as $20. Don’t forget Darkroom Gallery offers free framing & matting on accepted entries!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Down on the Farm

Your source material for “Down on the Farm” is endless: the backyard garden to the 1000-acre ranch, rice paddies to cotton fields, the chicken coop to the breeding barn, milking stand to dairy co-operative, sugar house to forest floor, road-side veggie stand to farmers’ markets, agricultural auctions to agricultural fairs. This is your chance to pay tribute to the men and women who work the land and raise the animals that nourish us all.

A look back: the Farm Security Administration was born in 1935 in the United States as a means to battle poverty in rural America. It was the documentary photographic work born of this era and via the goals of the FSA, that the first major bodies of work depicting agriculture and its social realities came into being. The majority of the work produced was by fifteen Photographers (a total of 44 photographers had been hired) including such greats as Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Carl Mydans and Ben Shahn. Look to their images, as well as contemporary Ag-Documentarians for your inspiration (Paul Mobley is one practiced suggestion!).

JUROR: “From the fishing villages of Alaska to the palaces of Croatia, Mobley has traveled the world over to capture and celebrate humanity in its infinite forms.” Paul Mobley’s portraits are rich with intimacy – close-up, straight, real, indicative of the souls behind the eyes.

Mobley began his photographic education at the Detroit Center for Creative Studies. He continued his training through apprenticeships in New York with such greats as Annie Leibovitz and Steve Steigman. He grew his photography into a successful commercial career working for a broad range of corporate, advertising, and editorial clients, including American Express, Sony, Citigroup, Ford, Compaq, Gourmet, Max Factor, Chevrolet, Microsoft, and many others.

Mobley visited over 200 farms and ranches across the United States to collect the over 150 portraits that appear in “American Farmer: Portraits from the Heartland” (2008 by Welcome books). Following the tradition of Richard Avedon’s watershed monograph and Mike Disfarmer’s Heber Sprints series, “American Farmer” is an epic monument to the spirit of rural life through the faces and words of those who sustain and nurture the land. Mobley’s dedication to the “American Farmer” project, allow him an experienced and practiced eye through which to jury “Down on the Farm.”

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS:

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

CALL for ENTRIES: Inanimate

Posted on May 3, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

PRICKLY PEAR,
anyone?

I am a bit on the fruity side of normal, and I got there loving extreme fruits–both the botanical variety and the two-legged, human kind. However, I have somehow managed, to the best of my recollection, to become an artist, gallery director, curator and editor without ever having sketched, drawn, photographed or painted a bowl of fruit. This Call doesn’t require a bowl of fruit, but a bowl of fruit would certain qualify. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Working with Artists for Inanimate, a still-life photography show at FLASH Gallery (Colorado). This show’s entry fee has a unique twist– sell a piece of your work, and they will refund your entry fee. Cool, eh?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Inanimate

Working with Artists is issuing an international Call for Art Entries / Submissions for Inanimate, an exhibition of still life photography from international artists from June 17 – July 30, 2011 at FLASH Gallery in Lakewood, Colorado.

Inanimate.
Inanimate objects, are, literally:
Objects not in motion.

Still life in art has a long, rich tradition in history. Still lifes in Egyptian tombs provided food for the deceased. Allegorical still lifes of the Middle Ages gave way to the natural botanicals of the 16th Century, followed by the depiction of everyday items in the Eighteenth Century. The 20th Century’s proliferation of artistic movements reimagined the still life in exciting new ways, making them more abstract.

Viewers imbue a still life with a deeper meaning. In a still life, one looks at an object and begins to fabricate a narrative around the object, charging it with meaning. Multiple objects placed together—in irony or symbolism, for example–generate layers of complexity as the objects themselves seem to spin a story. Food in a still life may be more than merely decorative–it might also imply impermanence and death.

For Inanimate, they are seeking the motionless as a way to express wisdom to the living. Objects that say something about us–about our journey and about how we see, live, work, love, and die in this world.

ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all domestic & international photographers of all ages.

MEDIA: Digital or traditional photography or a combination of both

DEADLINE: Submissions due no later than 8pm on Friday, May 13th, 2011.

NOTIFICATION: Selections will be announced no later than Friday, May 20th, 2011.

SUBMISSIONS: Jpgs can be entered via email or a CD can be mailed to WWA – 445 S. Saulsbury St, Main Gallery, Lakewood CO, 80226.

ENTRY FEE: An entry fee of $35 for up to three images, and $5 each image thereafter, or $25 for WWA/CLICK! Members, $5 each thereafter shall be included with the entry. Checks can be made to “WWA” or credit card payments can be made over the phone to 303-837-1341.

JUROR: Adam Lerner is the Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and Chief Animator in the Department of Structures and Fictions. He was the founder and Executive Director of The Laboratory of Art and Ideas at Belmar until The Lab merged with the MCA Denver in March 2009.

Lerner was previously Master Teacher for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Denver Art Museum from 2001 to 2003. While at the Denver Art Museum, Lerner worked with Director Lewis Sharp and Continuum Partners to conceptualize and create a new contemporary cultural space for the Denver community. These discussions were the impetus for The Lab at Belmar.

Prior to his arrival in Colorado, Lerner served as Curator of the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, where he also curated several exhibitions, including new projects with Christian Marclay, Dennis Adams, and Isaac Julien.

Lerner received his Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University and his Master’s from Cambridge University. He was a Fellow at the Smithsonian American Art Museum from 1997 to 1998.

SALES: Commission is 70/30 for Members of WWA or 60/40 for non-members. Juried artists in the exhibition who make a sale in the gallery will be refunded their full entry fee.

CALL for ENTRIES: Spherical

Posted on October 3, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

STEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!

I know you are of you Starbucks-aholics are shuddering, but we don’t own a coffee pot. I am not a coffee drinker, and the smell of brewing coffee makes me a touch nauseous. So, when Jon wants coffee, he either uses our French press which can take a little while, or we just pick it up on the way in to work. Did you know that even our convenience store has a barista? No joke. Jon’s coffee came with a beautiful heart-shaped cloud of cream.

Remember when all coffee-related activities were round? Coffee cups, coffee posts, coffe rings? Check out this Call for Entries for all things inspired by the round call Spherical.

“When looking back at my images, I was amazed at how many of them contained spheres and circles. It was not intentional. It just happened. The circles and spheres were sometimes the center of interest in the image, but often they played more of a subtle supporting role or were maybe just implied. And then there is my series of round images made with a fisheye……”

Circles and spheres are an integral part of our lives. From the wheels on our cars to the cup you pour your morning coffee into, circles appear everywhere. So, look around you right now. How many circles or spheres do you see?

JUROR: Carla Ellard will be the juror of “Spherical”. Carla received her Masters in Library and Information Science from the University of Texas-Austin and a Bachelor of Science in Photography at East Texas State University. She has been the Assistant Curator, Southwestern & Mexican Photography, at the Wittliff Collections at Texas State University-San Marcos for the past ten years.
