Faile NoCommission Installation, by Daniel Silk on Aug 13, 2016 13:07:29 GMT 1, "Our work has long sought to draw together global forms of everyday veneration, from prayer wheels to temples. These icons and sculptural projects blend the traditional with more contemporary visual culture in order to engage our audience, juxtaposing sites of play and profundity. Shrine (2016) considers the familiar vernacular form of the roadside shrine, and sites it in a place of particular mnemonic weightโthe post-war bedrooms of our suburban youth. This new installation recalls those rooms as places of longing, desire, projection, and improvisation. Taken together, Shrine creates a place of memory and communion, meditating on shared histories and unforeseen futures. After all, we spent our youth surrounded by carpeted floors, plastic plants, and nondescript furniture; but we knew a world of potential awaited outside, if we only had a way to get there. #NoCommission , August 11-14th in the #bronx . Swizz Beatz and so many great artists / musicians are a part of this."
