Faile solo show at Brooklyn Museum, by motor on Mar 15, 2015 13:39:39 GMT 1, Coming up this summer
FAILE Brooklyn Museum July 10โOctober 4, 2015 (Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery, 5th Floor)
This exhibition features work by FAILE, a collaboration between Brooklyn-based artists Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller. Since 1999, together they have constructed multimedia installations, large-scale paintings, and sculptures. The exhibition reunites their Temple and Deluxx Fluxx, both from 2010, and installs them alongside newer creations that highlight FAILEโs practice of appropriating and collaging mass-culture imagery to blur the lines between โhighโ and โlowโ art. FAILEโs Temple, originally installed in Praรงa dos Restauradores in Lisbon, is reminiscent of religious architecture, appearing to be in ruin and featuring their signature vernacular imagery culled from popular culture and advertising. The second major component, Deluxx Fluxx is a collaboration with the Brooklyn-based artist Bรคst. A nostalgic nod to classic video arcades, Deluxx Fluxx is an interactive installation that includes retrofitted video games, pinball machines, and foosball tables treated as sculptures. Together, these works invite visitors to participate actively in the installations and to consider FAILEโs goal of making art engaging, fun, and accessible to a broad audience. In this process, FAILEโs art raises questions about the world around us, especially our relationships to consumer culture, religious traditions, and the urban environment.
Organization: This exhibition is organized by Sharon Matt Atkins, Vice Director of Exhibitions and Collection Management, Brooklyn Museum.
