ART | Brooklyn Museum - FAILE: Savage/Sacred Young Minds

Hey Creatives, 

In continuation of the Brooklyn Museum visit

This was my favorite part of the museum visit. FAILE is a Brooklyn-based collaboration, its purpose is to raises questions about society's relationship to the consumer culture, religious traditions, and the urban environment by blurring the boundaries between fine art, street art, and popular culture. It includes 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 and BAST Deluxx Fluxx arcade,  an interactive environment that includes video games, pinball machines, and foosball tables that transcend into a paradise of nostalgia and pays ode to video arcades and punk rock and graffiti culture.

Steady winnin'!

Hey Akeira !

 

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.

This is perfect for the little one's in your life. It is a very fun, colorful, bold, and interactive exhibit with fun games, music and glow in the dark fun.

Ended the day with some ice cream from Brooklyn Belle's The Local
