FROLIC FREEZE 2020 continues Articulate’s experiment with exhibition practice begun with FAIRISLE, FERAL, FERRET and FERMENT in previous years.
FROLIC FREEZE invites you to
• locate the parts of Articulate’s spaces that you like, then develop an artwork for those that are available for your group (or the other way around).
• work 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.
• participate as an artist and audience member, and/or as an artwriter, group organizer, invigilator, documenter, etc., as you wish.
FROLIC FREEZE 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 G) 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 G).

FROLIC FREEZE DATES
The table
above shows key dates for the group you decide to join, and you are also asked
to come to the 6 openings to see how artworks change
as their contexts change.
JOIN FROLIC FREEZE
If you would
like to participate in FROLIC, 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 FROLIC, please send us their contact
information to etalucitra@gmail.com)
As soon as
possible after that, please send an image (of earlier work or work planned
for FROLIC) and optional small
text (max 100 words) about you and your work for advance advertising on the
Articulate blog, press releases and invitations.
FROLIC FREEZE THEME
FROLIC FREEZE was initially called FROLIC because it
sounds slightly like FERMENT of 2018, which was named after FERAL of 2015,
which was named because it sounded like FAIR ISLE of 2013, titled because of the progressive
nature of the Fair Isle knitting
pattern. After the fires got so bad, we saw it was better modified into FROLIC FREEZE.
There is no
theme for work included in FROLIC FREEZE. Though Articulate’s focus is on installation
and other spatial artwork, the work you exhibit in FROLIC FREEZE 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.
FROLIC FREEZE 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 if possible through sitting the space for 3
hours, or helping put on the opening (with funds from FROLIC FREEZE fees) or preparing & printing the room sheet for
your group (Word template available – each group can update the previous room
sheet).
FROLIC FREEZE FEE
The fees of
$60 for each artist in A and G, and $120 for each artist in B–F 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.)
FROLIC FREEZE WRITER
Please let us
know if you would like to write about the whole project or individual
iterations for the FROLIC FREEZE blog
posts, or want to propose someone else as a writer. (Texts for FAIR ISLE, FERAL, FERRET and FERMENT are on the Articulate blog.)
CLOSING DATES
Please send
your preference for a group ASAP to etalucitra@gmail.com . Acceptances close as soon as each group
is full. Names will be listed in the program on this page (https://articulate497.blogspot.com/p/normal_7.html)
as they arrive.
