#fail

#fail is a multimedia group exhibition that brings together works by twenty five artists that expose the systemic failures facing our world.

Throughout the exhibition, the systems we are born into are distilled and presented as sculpture, video, photography, painting, printmaking, site specific and participatory installation, and performance. Labor, service and servitude, unexamined caste systems, environmental catastrophe, migration, uncelebrated otherness and the incapacity of language to make meaning whole, are together treated as social and poetic material. Meeting this moment’s crisis with mitigated nihilism, the artists express our existence as a failure worth narrating.
