SLURP hiccup

I officially have cabin fever. I hate sand, so when I start fantasizing about island retreats and tropical drinks, you know winter has gone on too long. The low temp was 14°F at my house last night; my Seattle friends think I’m a wimp. They can think what they want. I will be sipping from an umbrella-topped glass, if only in my head. This next Call is my current co-conspirator. Escape with me…

CALL for ENTRIES: Finding Our Place

Posted on July 2, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

space to
GROW

I have been searching for my place–in art, in music, in food, in the world. I have a long history of wanting to do everything at all times. I want to get it all right, experience it all, eat it all, see it all, do it all. As a result, I often get none of them quite right. Silly to some, I believe the answer is geographical. I continue to seek smaller spaces and places–one town smaller than the next. Now I seek space, acres inside the next smallest town. Not isolation so much as controlled interaction. Space to think. Space to choose. Space to grow. Where is YOUR space? Your place? The next Call wants your answers–or questions. What do you have to say?

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Finding Our Place: The Geography of Art. $25 entry, epic jurors & great art, time & time again. Take a look…

Finding Our Place

“If you don’t know where you are, you don’t know who you are.”
–Wendell Berry

A sense of place can be an essential element in artists’ creative life, and frequently informs their subject matter, materials, style, approach, studio location, and more. Whether it be ones childhood “primal landscape,” full of memories of home and family, or the pull of a dramatic landscape, or a connection to a particular place based on historical and cultural events, geography calls to the imagination. As the world shifts to a focus on the virtual, how has this impacted artists’ work? Has it resulted in a weakening of a sense of place, or has the meaning of place simply adjusted to this new reality? This exhibit invites artists to explore this issue from either or both sides, and to celebrate what place means to them. What informs your work? A physical location or a virtual world? Do you know “where you are?” — from annmariegarden.org

CALL for ENTRIES: Feast your Eyes

Posted on July 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FEED ME
please

Why NOT food? Yes, it is that time of year again. I’ve received more hate mail from artists that think this blog would be far more effective if I would just quit talking about food. The last time this happened, I actually added “a food-themed art blog” to the header. To be honest, the half-dozen hate mail emails I get a year don’t really bother me. But, I am always amazed at how much anger people can muster for the most insignificant issues. This next call is equally obsessed with food. I am in good company…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Feast your Eyes. Fantastic space, great curatorial vision & always prestigious company. Take a look…

Feast your Eyes

Food can be more than sustenance; food can be a passion, an entertaining and delicious escape, a comfort, or an obsession. Food is vital to our lives and is certainly at the heart of every celebration. Food is the subject of endless books, news reports, scientific studies, social media posts, and conversations. We are deeply interested in its sustainability, production, processing, distribution, scarcity, quantity, quality, composition, and price. This show invites artists to explore these and other food-related issues, from the profound to the ridiculous. –from prospectus

CALL for ENTRIES: Humor Me

Posted on April 21, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

DRINK MORE
pee less

I am consistently amused by product names. It comes from all the years of marketing. When I saw the first commercial for belVita, I thought, “Really? Those sound awful.” But, of course, I am now addicted to the Golden Oat variety. However, I think I have to draw the line at urine-monikered soft drinks. Funny? Yes. Appetizing? No. This next Call’s humor makes it a yummy opportunity. Take a look…
