CALL for ENTRIES: We Love People

Posted on June 14, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

so so many EGGS

We eat dozens & dozens of eggs each month. It would be easy to assume that when we’re out, we’d avoid them. That’s not really the case. I have them fried, over-medium, after late night outings, take them cold & hard-boiled to picnics or on early mornings. And on my recent stop at Sugar Mama’s, a little bakery/bar combo, in Knoxville, I was treated to “German Eggs”. Think of it as a fluffy egg bake or like a crustless quiche. Delicious. (Funny enough, German tourists suggested we Google “german eggs slang”. Funny.) This Call hails from Munich, but doesn’t require the inclusion of eggs. Great international show opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Atelier Alen (Munich) for We Love People. If you’ve been looking for a European show without shipping concerns, this could be the Call for you. Take a look…

what a peach APRICOT

I often feel indignant about crap people are willing to eat. Yes, it’s a little judge-y. But, there are so many people worldwide without the access to healthy food, so I find myself impatient when people take it for granted. But, I digress. My husband recently enjoyed making fun of the newly-acquired fact that the only apricots I have ever eaten have been dried or a part of a sauce or jam. My husband insisted we buy a fresh apricot, and, apparently, it is on the menu as a part of my breakfast in the morning. I’m not opposed; it just hasn’t ever been a thing. There is a first for everything, right? This Call is a first for this brand new gallery. Investigate this artist-run space…

GREEN gold

I grow basil in most of the window sills in my home for just one purpose –making homemade pesto. I can’t grow much outdoors due to the bears and turkey and wild pigs (no, really). So, my windowsills stay full. I haven’t reaped much yet this year, and my stash of pesto is gone. Sad. But as I was excavating my freezer to avoid going to the grocery before dinner, I found a lone artifact– a bag of frozen basil large enough for a side dish. This next Call is interested in YOUR artifacts. Take a look…

SWEET streets

Have you ever attended a fast food wedding? I kinda have. At a recent wedding, the bride & groom opted for an outdoor ceremony & reception. The reception was catered… by a sweet food truck featuring a custom French menu including pastries in lieu of a wedding cake. It was priceless. They met in Paris; they fell in love under a lamppost, street food in hand. Sweet & from the street, just like this next call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Water, Water Everywhere

Posted on June 6, 2016June 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

entirely DRINKABLE

I lived in the USVI for a couple of years, and my house used only cistern water. Rainfall kept the supply flowing for most of the year, but a couple of months prior to the rainy season we’d have to pay to have the cistern fill… about $500. That was 20 years ago. I try to internalize this memory every time I pay my $85 water bill. Well, that and I can actually cook with the tap water at my current home. Back then the hashtag would have been #dontlookinthebottomofcistern or #youdontwanttoknow. This next call is all about the water, and there are no restriction on the orgin of YOUR water. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Comic Relief

Posted on May 18, 2016May 18, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

baked, not BLACKENED

The burning of food is the only constant in my house. It isn’t all food, but it is always particular foods –pizza crust, croutons, toast & anything else that is just supposed to just brown on the edges. I say, “don’t burn the pizza”& Jon huffs in slight offense. Then, 10 minutes later mumbled cursing echoes through the kitchen. “Burn the pizza?” I ask. “Sorry,” he responds. Then Laughter. Every time. It happens every time. That’s what makes it funny. This next Call wants to know about your comic relief, but don’t burn the pizza. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Comic Relief
from L.A. Photo Curator

“The world is so full of stress and hardship that it seems difficult to retain a sense of balance. Often, as a photographer, one seeks out projects that are politically based, be it the environment or a statement to raise public awareness. For our collective consciousness, it seems critical that we stop and ‘smell the roses’. Based on this sentiment, the orientation of this theme is to seek out some visual levity. Everyone’s perspective is unique as is their sense of humor. These images can be choreographed or spontaneous but should convey a sense of humor. I am looking forward to sharing a good laugh (or chuckle) with everyone.” –from Mara Zalove

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: May 26, 2016 (Midnight PST)

EXHIBITION: June 5 – July 5, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 15% of artist fees go to the charity of the monthly curator (jewelsofyouth.org) as well as the first place winner’s charity.

CURATOR: Mara Zaslove‘s passion for photography has allowed her to express herself in a visual conversation & has interwoven her view of the world with her life experiences. Primarily, Mara’s process tends to be spontaneous. She has a curiosity about her immediate environment and expresses this by photographing subjects that capture her fascination. It can be the mundane, atypical or traditional but she seeks to document a uniqueness particular to each subject. Mara’s award winning work has been widely acknowledged including being represented by bG/BGart Gallery at Bergamot Station & Hale Arts Gallery in Santa Monica. She was a finalist in the 8th Julia Cameron Award held in Berlin in 2016 as well as having her work included in the 5th Annual Exposure Award display at the Musee du Louvre, Paris-France in 2015 as a part of the Body Collection.

SALES: All sales are conducted between the artist & buyer. L.A. Photo Curator does not handle any part of sales. There is no commission.

scrambling your EGGS

I dream about hollandaise sauce pretty often. I’m not sure why.

Anyone have suggestions? In the meantime, this Call is an opportunity to investigate your own dreams. Great theme…

such sweet NECTAR

Pancakes are an uncommon treat at our house. Even the best of store bought syrup shouldn’t be kept as long as the periods between pancake occurrences at our breakfast table. So, my husband now makes our pancake syrup. Someone suggested he substitute agave nectar for the sugar in the recipe. Wow. It isn’t a 1:1 substitution. Agave nectar is much sweeter than honey or refined sugar. I can’t handle it. We’ll stick to the water, sugar, molasses & vanilla standard, thanks. This next Call is just sweet enough to intrigue. Take a look…

soup to BEANS

It is all a matter of taste, right? I know that for every food there is someone who believes its tastes better than all other foods, but I still can’t quite resolve myself to the notion that some foods aren’t just objectively bad. Warhol is famous for, among other things, depictions of a soup. That same soup is the foundation for thousands of green bean casserole recipes. SOMEone believes it to be “Mmm mmm good”, but I am not one of the some. I don’t have a lot of food limits, aside from Century eggs and boiled okra, but just no. It is a black and white issue for me –just like this next Call. Investigate this opportunity…
