 1 of 3 Collections for Articulate Project Space 'Collection of Articulate's spaces' 2015.
Cotton thread, found space, plastic sleeves, masking tape, stone, archive box.

'FERAL is a progressive, overlapping exhibition program of over 60 artists that will be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5pm between January 9 and February 8, 2015. 

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.'
