CALL for ENTRIES: Black & White

SPICY
notes

I will put salt & pepper on anything. Years of deliberate pause has taught me that not all things need salt, but it has been a hard lesson to learn. I have super-low blood pressure (70 over 40, no really), and my doctor surmises that I just self-medicate with salt. Who knows? Changing from the black & white of salt and pepper to the pink of Himalayian salt and red/green of whole peppercorns in grinders really helped me break the habit. This next Call is a great reason NOT to stray from black and white. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from BWAC (Brooklyn, NY) for Black & White. This year, Christiane Paul, curator of Media Arts at the Whitney Museum, is one of NY’s art elite, and the juror for Black & White. Don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Black & White

“We bathe in the beauty of color and spin thousands of words describing the experience that the cone cells transmit to our brain. In reality, they are not nearly as numerous as our rods, the cells that register light and dark, the black and white of our experience. Black and white is primal, the underneath, the foundation of the opulence of color; black and white is where we register motion and, with insufficient light, optimize our survival in the night woods. Black and White intends to explore this underground of survival.” –from bwac.org

CALL for ENTRIES: Viridian 22nd International

Posted on March 7, 2011March 7, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED

My kitchen cupboard is like the United Nations of spice racks. I love challenging my taste buds by experimenting with tastes and flavors that have not been a natural part of my cultural experience. As you know, I live in the Great Smoky Mountains where Thai food is considered a really exotic experience… so I value my trips to larger metropolitan areas for food variety alone. Is it wrong that I want to enter this next show just so I might be able to grab some Ethiopian food on the way to the opening? I don’t think so either.

Check out this Call for Entries for the 22nd Annual International Juried Competition from Viridian Artists, Inc. The entry fee is a little high, but the results could be a large number of your pieces in a time-honored exhibit in New York City. Take a look…
