CALL for ENTRIES: Redemption

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

looking for one in a MELON

I fall in love with foods, binge needlessly and then tire of them quickly.  It is a pattern.  I have eaten enough watermelon this summer that the very notion of it is a little nauseating.  I’m off in pursuit of something new, but I’ll make my way back to watermelon by next summer.  I’m often that way with galleries as well.

I become enamored of the curatorial vision of a handful of galleries for a while, then tire when it feels like I’m seeing the same Calls from them over and over again.  Sometimes you need to stretch your proverbial legs, take your work for a walk, explore new territorty.  While on one of those searches, I came across this theme and thought it so relevant and current to my work, that I should give it a try.  I offer it to you in case it is of interest…

Check out this Call for Entries from Skye Gallery (Providence, RI) for Redemption.  $30 Entry & 50% commission.  Take the time to research their previous shows and in-house artists.  Is this show a good fit for you?

This begs the question: What is redemption? What does it look like? Is it possible or just a human construct for the convenience for the ones who wound & institutions that oppress? What is the price to repair? Is there a moral economy?”

CALL for ENTRIES: Facing the Wall

GREEN walls

While on vacation recently, I was having dinner in a restaurant only to see the chef come out and clip herbs off a wall planter in the dining room.  I have a friend that has installed a decorative green wall in their livingroom.  And I know several others that are making vertical gardening plans.  It seems planting vertical not only makes the best use of space, but it is more physically accessible for lots of people for whom bending and stooping are not an option.  Walls of food, how lovely.  This next Call is looking for your work surrounding the idea of walls.  

Check out this Call for Entries from Art League Rhode Island for Facing the Wall at The VETs Gallery (Providence, RI).  $25 entry fee, a great juror & a timely curatorial theme add up to a great opportunity…

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Open to all 2D & 3D media (no video)

THEME:  Walls have delineated nations & cities throughout human history. Walls define what is inside as separate from what is outside, and while this definition . . . invariably includes a defining of identity. Whatever the motivation, walls identify what is within them and what is outside them, placing limits on both. We are now in an era of new walls – walls built on the borders of nations, ideologies, cultural and personal identities. Whether attempting to break through, climb over, dig under, circumvent, use as a canvas, or decorate, artists respond to the walls that confront them. 

DEADLINE:  February 14, 2018
