FERRET invites you to
• ferret-out the part of the Articulate spaces that you like, then ferret
in your unconscious for an artwork that should go there (or the other way
around).
•
experiment with installation and placement of your own
artwork in an architectural space that is already altered by the earlier
installation of other work, and which will be altered again when the group that
comes after you installs around you.
• enjoy the pleasure and
challenge of working with and getting to know other participating artists.
FERRET PROGRAM
(If the program below is too
hard to get your head around, just pick the dates that suit you and reply to etalucitra@gmail.com ASAP.)
The work of each group will be on public exhibition for two weeks except for
the first and last groups (A and F) whose work will be open to the public
for one week, and whose fees are adjusted accordingly. Each group will be
installing in a space already occupied by the previous group (except for
group A) and each group will overlap with the next group by one week (except
for F).

FERRET
DATES
The table above shows key dates for the group you
decide to join, and you are also asked to come to each of the 5 openings to see
how your work and other artists' works change as their contexts change.
JOIN FERRET
If you would like to participate in FERRET,
please reply ASAP saying which group you'd like to join (give your first 3
preferences in case too many people want the same group), plus mobile/phone and
email contact, and we will respond with more details. (If you know other
artists who would be interested and who you think would contribute well to FERRET, please send their contact
information.)
As soon as possible after that, please send an
image (of earlier work or work planned for FERRET)
and optional small text (max 100 words) about you and your work for advance advertising
on the Articulate blog, press releases and invitations.
FERRET THEME
FERRET is called FERRET because it sounds slightly like FERAL of 2015, which was
named FERAL because it sounded like FAIR ISLE of 2013 (titled because of the progressive nature of the Fair Isle knitting pattern) and because, like FAIR ISLE, its overlapping structure is a slightly feral form of exhibition practice.
There is no theme for work included in FERRET. Though Articulate’s focus is on
spatial artwork like installation, the work you exhibit in FERRET
is up to you. You are just asked to follow the dates in the program,
leave other people’s work unchanged (unless you have their agreement) and
return the space to how you found it (cleaning materials and matching paint are
available).
We also want a mix of small and large works that are
installed by you with regard to their location—have a conversation with us if
you think your planned work needs some negotiation.
FERRET
PARTICIPANTS
As well as installing your own work, you are
asked to come to an advance meeting for your group, and to support the group
through sitting the space for 3 hours, or helping put on the opening (with
funds from FERRET fees) or preparing
& printing the room sheet for your group (Word template available – each
group can update the previous room sheet).
FERRET FEE
The fees of $60 for each artist in A and F, and
$120 for each artist in B–D covers rent, modest opening costs and modest photographer's
fees. (The photographer will be asked to document the relationships between
works rather than focusing on separate works, so please also take your own
images.
FERRET
WRITER
Please let us know if you would like to write
about the whole project or individual iterations for the FERRET catalogue/blog, or want to propose someone else as a writer.
(Texts for FAIR ISLE and FERAL are on the Articulate blog – click on FAIR ISLE and FERAL 1,2,3,4 and 5 under INDEX on the
right side.)
CLOSING DATES
Please send your preferences for groups ASAP. Acceptances close as soon as each Group is full. Names will be listed in the program above as they come in.
