call for entry: Edible Provisions
February 13 – February 24, 2014
a collection of cutting edge work from various Artists working in
various mediums that address how and what we eat today. The works
exemplify the complexities of our eating in an epoch where dinner is
dubious.
has come to my attention that there are many artists making work about
food. These artists are actively questioning how we manufacture, grow,
procure and eat every day. There is a rich history to mine when it comes
to food relations sensual, domestic and industrial. I propose a call to
students and alumni who make such food oriented work for a group
exhibition: Edible Provisions. This past year I have seen ceramic
sculpture meat cuts hanging from rafters, portraits of people’s
fridges, pottery for the seasonal splendor and prints of farm machinery
that beckon questions of Cold War technology- all talk about our current
and crucial relation to food.
NSCAD now Sandra Alfoldy is teaching a seminar on craft and food a
marker of the relevancy of such an exhibition. Dine by Design is this
week, Hungry Bowls the next, Art and Food Activism are linked as ever.
We have the opportunity now to showcase such work going on at NSCAD. Edible Provisions
would bring together the many ideas, experiences and critiques of food
culture into a single exhibition space complicating the food
conversation in a dynamic visual manner.
use of the gallery space is highly dependent on the works submitted and
their individual requirements and group requirements, all will be
managed by me as curator/coordinator and all managed in such a way to
deepen the conversation about food and the facets there in embracing and
showcasing the many opinions we have in regards to food carnivores,
omnivores, vegans and vegetarians, fast foodies, foodies, industrialists
and small scale farmers alike. The intent of the exhibition to make us
think about food.
PortLoggia is an open space gallery that students have access to at
night with out security and in no way will I or NSCAD/AnnaLeonOwnes
Gallery be responsible for damage or theft, the gallery is however
equipped with 24hr video surveillance.
Shipping to and from the gallery will not be subsidized.
“I am very
excited about this show and know that so many of your blog readers make
work while thinking about food. As an odd side project to make the show
more feasible for non-Haligonians I’d be happy to accept mugs from your
readers and mail them a mug of mine in exchange at no cost. That way the
mug is displayed and in the show and becomes part of my collection as a
trade!” – Bridget

Now we just need to convince Kevin Hluch to make different versions for each country!
Greg Payce @ the Alberta Craft Council
Artist Reception: 2-4 pm, Saturday, March 22
Alive
with history, movement, and possibility, Greg Payce’s vessels become
animated before our eyes. Processions of figures emerge from negative
space, projections of vibrant patterns dance across porcelain surfaces,
and holographic-like images pulse with dimension.
The work in
the exhibition is chosen from both the collection of the Alberta
Foundation for the Arts and Payce’s own collection. This selection
focuses on works from 1996 onwards. The sequence shows how his work
shifted from two-dimensional image painting on vase forms – to
three-dimensional pieces (with images in the spaces between them) – to
video and lenticular images.

emerging artist weekends…..
hey all,
can we chat a minute?
so i’m loving having the emerging artist weekends on the blog. i love the idea of sharing work by new and upcoming artists and the search to find these artists is fun, like unwrapping a lovely gift when you find them. but….
i’m sure you’ve had this thought before as well: what defines an emerging artist?
the reason i’m asking this again is that unless someone submits their work (or that of a friend, etc) for the “emerging” catagory i don’t like to make assumptions and put people there. i would never want to offend someone. but if you do a search for emerging artists the range is pretty substantial. for example when i look at a list like this on at Ceramic Arts Daily i think wow, it’ll be years before i’m the level of emerging! is there a name for pre-emerging??? I don’t think i would have put any of these fine folks in an emerging catagory, but that’s me.
so i guess what it comes down to is that i’d like to enlist your help. i need academics to encourage their students to submit images. i need students to get together and take photos of their work and submit it. i need all of you out there who aren’t students but who consider themselves emerging to send in images. i need people from all over the world to submit and share the word.
and i need you to send those images to [email protected]
i need you to label the email as “emerging artist submission”
i need you to include a website, and an artist statement if you have one (but if you don’t then i need you to not stress and just send in images.)
i need you to consider the fact that this is an opportunity for good exposure with over 100k hits last year, which is over 40k unique visitors. but i also need you to not be intimidated by those numbers and just submit.
and most importantly i need you to understand how thankful i truly am for your help and contributions to musing. i really can’t do it without you all.
