I am trying to learn some basic Spanish.  As you might imagine, I skipped ahead to the food lessons almost immediately, ha.  I can order water, milk & fish now, agua, leche & pescado, yeah.  But as my lessons continue, I am amazed by how many words I already knew or could at least guess from brief French language studies more than a decade past.  Like fresas.  Strawberries.  This next Call offers publication during National Strawberry Month (May).  Take a look…

Appalachian cuisine is a “new” thing in food circles.  But it isn’t. Everyone carries their own baggage about regional foods.  When I was little, if you referred to mountain food, fried chicken would be hailed as the prime example.  Then with the legalization of moonshine, everyone seems to think the local fare is all about corn whiskey and cornbread.  It is all more complicated than that, I promise.  What if food, in concert with art and culture are THE answer for Appalachian economic recovery?  This next Call offers an art opportunity in Appalachia.  This is a beautiful venue…

“I sculpt beasts that tell stories.“ — Brian Somerville

French philosopher Albert Camus once said, “A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.”  But, I’ve always believed that we create the majority of beasts of this world from our anxiety and worry and imagination.  The beasts of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Brian Somerville, guide us through fear with a little humor.

Reflections no. 4: Politics (mosaic 56 x 15 x 36 cm) by Peter Vial

“Watch from your gut, listen to your soul” — Peter Vial

___

We are, in total, comprised of the pieces and parts of our experience –both those celebrated and those survived.  The mosaic work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day Peter Vial speaks to that patchwork in such a visual way.  This work is so relatable, even though some of it is incredibly large.  I bristle at the ubiquitous Nietzsche what-doesn’t-kill-you quote because it typically comes across as condescension or gaslighting, but Vial’s sculpture is a celebration of life, regardless of circumstance. There IS a difference, and I appreciate that sort of optimistic realism.  No unicorns & rainbows.  Thanks, Peter.

Winter is the season of indulgent foods.  Comfort foods have changed for me over the years, but they still tend to be slow-cooked, hearty fare. My favorite indulgences are french onion soup with fresh parmigiana, Swiss steak over pureed potatoes, masala laden with cauliflower & chickpeas or black-bean chili with a squeeze of lime.  And don’t forget the gulab jamun.  Luckily winter comes but once a year –much like this next Call.  Indulge…

“My work has everything to do with my dad. First the glasses. Now the bicycle. He raised me well and showed me the future. He wasn’t the kind of parent to give you things. Beyond food, clothes and shelter, the next step was you.” — Cyrus Kabiru

As the new year creeps closer, I find myself searching for a new frame of mind, a new perspective, a new framework, a new set of eyes, if you will, with which to navigate the world.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Cyrus Kabiru, offers us a reminder that we choose how we frame our future –crafting something new from pieces of our past, new, used or discarded.

Raw fish and seaweed tend to be very polarizing ingredients.  Rarely do I meet someone who has a take-it-or-leave-it attitude about sushi.  It tends to be love or hate every time.  I understand why raw fish lacks appeal for so many.  But, I find converting friends into sushi-lovers is often as simple as the surprise lunch.  Sushi kitchens are usually spotless; the food is usually delicious & flavorful.  Finding lovers of public art is far easier, and this next Call proves it every year.  Take a look…
