CALL for ENTRIES: Spare Parts

Posted on October 28, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

A CROCK FOR EVERY POT

I am the queen of the crock pot. I have Lemon Chicken in the crock pot as I write this post. I love Fall and Winter because they provide the perfect excuse to through lots of things in the crock pot and call is soup or chowder or stew. And in my kitchen next to the crock pot (when it is stored on top of my cabinets) is two of my favorite pieces of found-object assemblage–toasters covered in journal pages and a virtual crock pot of other brick-a-brack.

Here’s your chance to cook up a masterpiece of your own. This Call for Entries from The Renaissance Center in Dickson, TN is for a show called Spare Parts. It doesn’t have to be kitchen-themed, but it does have to be found objects or assemblage. Check it out!

CALL for ENTRIES: Found Object TRASH ART

Posted on August 2, 2010August 2, 2010 by R.L. Gibson

NOT TRASH…JUST ART

I love found object art almost as much as I love crock pot creations made from leftovers. Many emerging (not starving) artists struggle with not having the cash to participate in traditional media like oil painting. Found-object assemblage could be the solution!

Here’s a great call from Monmouth Museum for Art from Found Objects, but you have to hurry…both postmarked and emailed entries must be received by August 6, 2010. But look on the bright side…the materials are probably already laying around your house!

CALL FOR ENTRIES:
Art From Found Objects: A Juried Exhibition

Museum Statement: This exhibition focuses on artwork created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of common found objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a non-art function. Found art derives its identity as “Art” from the designation placed upon it by the artist. “Trash Art” is included in this exhibition as works are primarily comprised from components that have been discarded and then found. 75 % of the media used to create works for this exhibition must be from either discarded, reusable or found objects.

Juror: The juror is Harriet Taub, Executive Director, Materials for the Arts (of Cultural Affairs., NYC Department)

Eligibility: Open to all artists world-wide age 18 and over. All artwork entered must be original creations by the artist and must have been completed within in the last five years.

Submission Guidelines: Submissions are limited to a maximum of TWO pieces. Acceptance into the exhibition is not guaranteed with entry. The Monmouth Museum reserves the right to reject work delivered at the time of the exhibition that is not the artist’s accepted work. Selected artwork must be wired, framed (if media applicable) and ready to hang (no saw-tooth hangers). Artwork must be less than 7 feet in height and able to fit through a standard door. Pedestals must be provided by the artist for all sculpture entries. Entered and accepted work cannot be substituted and all work must be available for the duration of the exhibition.

Submission Fees: Monmouth Museum Members: FREE (see membership form at www.monmouthmuseum.org); Non-members: $20 per piece entered (limit: 2 pieces).

Digital Submission Specifcations: DO NOT submit more than 2 images, unless work is three-dimensional (maximum three images per sculpture). Artists are requested to submit digital images in JPEG format either via email or on a CD. See prospectus for full guidelines.

Artist Statement: Include a statement (not more than 1 page) on the body of work submitted. Explain your choice of media, artistic vision, process, subject matter, training, influences, etc.
