FERRET 1 opening event Friday 26 January 6-8pm

The FERRET project runs from 26 January to 25 February 2018, Friday - Sunday 11am-5pm

Its five openings are on Fridays 6-8pm, 26 January and 2, 9, 16 and 23 February

FERRET is the third of Articulate's projects that present the exhibition as a changing site. Over 5 weeks, it shows the work of 60 artists and is designed so that the work of two different groups of artists 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, Kat Sawyer, Kate Scott, William Seeto, Lisa Sharp, Anke Stäcker, Catriona Stanton and Emma Wise. 

FERRET 1 is the first of FERRET's 5 shows. After FERRET 1 ends on Sunday 28 February, half the artists de-install their work, and another 10 artists install to produce FERRET 2 (opening Friday 2 February). These overlapping changeovers continue until FERRET 5 concludes on Sunday 25 February.

FERRET is Articulate's third project that presents the exhibition as a site determined as much by changing artwork as by architecture and location. It does this by intermingling works by two different groups of each week—incoming artists install in a site shaped partly by works continuing from the previous week and the gaps left by outgoing works. It is planned as a slow progressive artists' dance in which each show is one step, and in which the whole is understood through a mixture of observing and remembering.

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.

FERAL 2 opens Friday 16 January 6-8pm

ROOMSHEET

Artists in FERAL 2 are Linden Braye, Bianca Burns, Liz Coats, Timothy Corne, Nicole Ellis, Marta Ferracin, Justine Holt, Blaide Lallemand, Martin Langthorne, Rachel McCallum, Joanne Makas,  Renay Pepita, Anya Pesce, Margaret Roberts, Alan Rose, Kate Scott, Elena Tory-Henderson, Allen Alain Viguier, Julian Woods and India Zegan.

FERAL is a progressive, overlapping exhibition program of over 60 artists that will be open Friday - Sunday 11-5pm between 9 January - 8 February 2015. Its five opening events are Fridays 9, 16, 23 + 30 January and 6 February at 6-8pm, each of which will show the work of a different combination of about twenty artists.


FERAL is designed for artists to experiment with installation or location of artwork in an architectural space that is already altered by the earlier installation of other artists' work, and which will be altered again when another group replaces that earlier installation. 

The FERAL project is part of the broader Articulate interest in the relationships artworks form with their locations. It does this by focusing in particular on the contribution that the changing installations of artwork make to the constitution of a site.
