We At Diabolical Rabbit Took A Visit To Brooklyn To Check Out The Faile Exhibit At The Brooklyn Museum.
ABOUT FAILE EXHIBIT
FAILE, a Brooklyn-based collaboration between artists Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, raises questions about our relationship to consumer culture, religious traditions, and the urban environment by blurring the boundaries between fine art, street art, and popular culture.
The works on view include multimedia installations, large-scale paintings, and sculptures that appropriate imagery from a wide variety of sources, including American quilts, folk and Native American art, religious architecture, pulp magazines, comic books, sci-fi movie posters, adult entertainment advertisements, and storefront typography.
The exhibition includes The FAILE & BÄST Deluxx Fluxx Arcade, an interactive environment created in collaboration with Brooklyn artist Bäst that includes video games, pinball machines, and foosball tables that are simultaneously sculptures and functioning games. The installation is a nostalgic nod to video arcades and punk rock and graffiti culture.
Also on view is FAILE’s Temple, a life-size structure reminiscent of a ruined religious temple. Made of iron, ceramic reliefs, and painted ceramics, and incorporating prayer wheels and popular-culture imagery, Temple imagines a reaction against commercial development and consumer greed.
FAILE: Savage/Sacred Young Minds is organized by Sharon Matt Atkins, Vice Director for Exhibitions and Collections Management, Brooklyn Museum.
This exhibition is supported by Allouche Gallery, The Dean Collection, and Geoff Hargadon and Patricia LaValley.
OUR TIME AT THE FAILE EXHIBIT
The crazy odd bunch at Diabolical Rabbit took a trip down to Brooklyn and visited the Brooklyn Museum where we saw this amazing, dope and odd but very cool exhibit by the collaborative duo known as Faile.
We had an amazing time it brought us back to the era of arcades being the highlight of weekends at the roller skating rink it was a blast and brought back good times and a little bit of innocence from our childhoods.
The Faile exhibit ” Savage/Sacred Young Minds ” and the Arcade part of the exhibit The FAILE & BÄST Deluxx Fluxx Arcade” we highly recommend seeing this exhibit if your in Brooklyn just get your butt down to the Brooklyn Museum and check it out while it’s still there you got til October the 4th so check it out.
