FERRET is the third of Articulate's FAIRISLE/FERAL projects that present the exhibition as a changing site. It aims to show the work of 60 artists and is designed so that two different exhibitions intermingle each week like a slow and progressive artists' dance. Each step in the dance can be seen by coming to the five openings or weekends.
FERRET 1 will open Friday 26 January showing the work of artists black3y3dpeac3, Linden Braye, Angus Callander, Timothy Corne, Lily Cummins, Rox De Luca, Jacquelene Drinkall , Michele Elliot, Martin Langthorne, Diane McCarthy, Anya Pesce, Deborah Prior, Olivia Samman, Kat Sawyer, Kate Scott, William Seeto, Lisa Sharp, Anke Stäcker, Catriona Stanton and Emma Wise.

What does it mean to
occupy and produce space within a gallery setting? Olivia Samman’s installation
practice focuses on linear form in the third dimension and minimal artistic
intervention to draw attention to the architectural surroundings. She creates
installation pieces that physically have minimal mass and occupy little space,
however her practice creates large structure within an already structured
space. Often within gallery settings we fall victim to an unaware navigation
with focus solely on the displayed objects. Through spatial design and an
anticipation of the audience’s gaze and perception, Samman’s installation art
draws attention to the space as a whole and guides the audience to view
elements in the surrounding space and view them as art.

FERRET is called FERRET because it sounds slightly like FERAL of 2015, which was named FERAL because it sounded slightly like FAIRISLE of 2013 (titled because of the progressive nature of the Fairisle knitting pattern) and because, like FAIRISLE, its overlapping structure is a slightly feral form of exhibition practice. Follow the links to documentation of the earlier FAIRISLE and FERAL 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 projects.
