MOCK
Curated by Ejecta Projects and on display September 19 – October 31, 2026

MOCK

- to imitate

- to ridicule

- to rehearse

 

This open call exhibition at Ejecta Projects invites visual artists to submit works of art that engage with the concept of “mockery” – in any of its iterations, meanings, and implications. A word that functions as verb, adjective, adverb, and noun, mock connotes a variety of related terms including imitation, ridicule, and rehearsal. Open to broad interpretations, the curators of MOCK seek artworks that intersect with notions of humor, sincerity, institutional critique, and imbalanced power structures, among other approaches to this topic.

 Artists are asked to submit work that embrace, deny, reflect, or otherwise critically respond to ideas and material processes related to:

·       mimicry

·       appropriation or imitation

·       replicas, multiples, or imitation (faux)

·       simulation(s)

·       fakery, forgery, or knockoffs

·       studio apprentices, master copying, proofs, or prototypes

·       remixes, covers, or other re-imaginings

·       intellectual property rights

·       role-playing

·       authenticity

·       parody or satire

·       cynically humorous

·       originality

·       resistance to authority
