“In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up…” so ends a summary* of Foucault’s lecture of March 1967, in which ‘the boat’ was imagined as an heterotopia par excellence … but The ‘Ship of Fools’ is a popular metaphor often used to describe the human condition. Here, the notion that we are all foolish, self-centred beings bent on achieving our own interests at the cost of others, is one that has been embraced by writers, musicians, artists, filmmakers and composers. We welcome submissions from artists working in all art forms. We are able to accommodate an artist for a two-week residency, subject to proposal, and we also plan an 'outing' from Margate to the Whitstable Biennale for one day, on our own 'Ship of Fools' (a bus). Trippers will be asked to return with something that acts as a record of the trip, to add to the exhibition in the Gallery. All items will be documented, and returned at the end of the Show. Deadline for submissions: Friday 16th May. Please include with your proposal a CV, artist's statement and 4/5 images of recent work. for more info email: [email protected]
