CALL for ENTRIES: Fight or Flight

Posted on March 3, 2017March 2, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD anyone?

I received more “why food?” inquiries this week. Because. That’s the short answer. Specifically I had someone to challenge the relevancy of a food theme with all that is going on politically in the U.S. Long Answer, well, food IS political, and global. (Reminder, the world is larger than the U.S.) Regulations governing food safety couldn’t be more political. Quinoa and milk and coffee and avocados, political. Choosing the source of your food and having confidence the quality of your options is all about politics and privilege. I love food. AAAD will continue to celebrate food. We all grow and buy and cook and serve in reaction to our experiences of the world around us. We act and react, indulge and temper, daily. This next Call wants your reaction to current events. Take a look…

“Looking back to specific artists’ reactions to unsettled times, there are Picasso’s Guernica & Gerhard Richter’s cycle of paintings October 18, 1977. On the other hand, Matisse created his joyful collaged paper cutouts for his Jazz series during World War II in France, and Jackson Pollock’s poured paintings were created in the 1950s during the McCarthy era. Creativity can feed off the inspiration of current events and/or a personal vision. We are looking for artists’ responses to these times in which we live, in 2017.” –thepaintingcenter.org

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Posted on April 8, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing. Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason. But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant. I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food. I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly. Maybe ugly is a little too strong. It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like.. This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful. Take a look…

“Galen Johnson’s book The Retrieval of the Beautiful is a dynamic discussion of existence & consciousness of human activity, including art. Johnson writes, ‘Here it is enough to see that beauty & the sublime blend into one another when the beautiful grows powerful, transcendent & majestic.’ Something beautiful seduces you & draws you in. We invite artists [to explore] beauty…” –thepaintingcenter.org

CALL for ENTRIES: Working It Out

Posted on February 12, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

CHOCOLATE
surprise

I am addicted to chocolate. And, I mistakenly assume that if it is chocolate, I will love it. Wrong. You can screw up chocolate. Milk chocolate is not my favorite version, but done well, there is a time and place for milk chocolate. But every once in a while, I am offered chocolate and it is grainy, infused with artificial flavors or so sweet that it makes my teeth hurt. It is always a reminder to mind what I put in my mouth–a warning that I assume is unnecessary for most people. This next Call could easily be assumed to be a painting call, but it isn’t. This is a great surprise…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Painting Center (NY, NY) for Working It Out, an exhibition of artists’ working drawings–generally kept private. The entry fee is standard, but this opportunity is extraordinary. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Working It Out

The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea, announces a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled WORKING IT OUT, running from June 18th to July 13th, 2013.

Artists of all disciplines begin their creative process with preparatory drawings. This enables visual problem solving throughout the execution of an artwork that is both fluid and beautiful. Drawing can be an exploration of materials, mark making, the emotional tenor of a piece, compositional arrangements or color. Working drawings are the visual manifestation of a work in progress; a working idea. Typically, this work is not seen by the public.

These are private musings that reflect thought processes. They are, by definition, incomplete. This exhibition will allow the viewer to see the private world of the artist’s creative process.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Artists working in all media are encouraged to submit their working drawings.

DEADLINE: April 15, 2013

NOTIFICATION: April 25, 2013

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 5

OPEN CALL: Natural/Constructed Spaces

Posted on March 25, 2012March 31, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

JELL-OH-NO!

I am currently going through what my husband has dubbed the “Super Suzie” phase. It has a name because every time I take a few weeks off from working outside of my home office, I take on this Super-Woman-like persona that cooks and cleans and nests. It doesn’t last long because I’m not particularly good at it. Occasionally, it spins out of control and results in molded gelatin “delicacies”. This next Call might be better way to for me (and you) to express our Natural vs. Constructed theories. Trust me on this one…

Check out this Open Call from The Painting Center (NY, NY) for Natural/Constructed Spaces. This is a reasonable fee for a Chelsea exhibition opportunity because I know some of you are still searching for the elusive New York Show. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Natural/Constructed Spaces

The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea, announces a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled Natural/Constructed Spaces, running from June 19th to July 14th, 2012. The exhibit will be accompanied by a printed catalog and will be widely publicized.

As artists, we are all compelled to create and look at images of the natural and man made worlds in which we live. Through these images we are able to express nostalgia for a simpler, more pristine world, bring attention to environmental degradation, or ponder the wonders and despair of today’s urban centers.

For Natural/Constructed Spaces, The Painting Center invites representational and abstract painters to submit work that considers all aspects– natural, constructed, deconstructed– of rural/urban/suburban environments in the 21st century.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA:
Representational & abstract painting

DEADLINE: April 15, 2012

NOTIFICATION: April 25, 2012

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 5

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: You may submit up to 5 jpegs on a CD. Images must be 300 dpi, minimum of 1800 pixels in each direction. Title jpegs with your last name, first name, and number, for example: smithjohn1.jpg. Images submitted must be of work available for show. Alternate works will not be accepted.
