New Works on Paper by FAILE from the Art on Paper Fair in Miami

Brooklyn based artist duo FAILE create work that is constructed from found visual imagery. Featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 18, their murals, installations and fine art blur the lines between high and low culture, but recent exhibitions demonstrate an critical eye on consumerism, and the incorporation of religious media and architecture. At last week's Art on Paper Fair in Miami, covered here, FAILE debuted a new body of work at the Allouche Gallery booth, in which the duo draws on their roots of experimenting with printmaking.

Brooklyn based artist duo FAILE create work that is constructed from found visual imagery. Featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 18, their murals, installations and fine art blur the lines between high and low culture, but recent exhibitions demonstrate an critical eye on consumerism, and the incorporation of religious media and architecture. At last week’s Art on Paper Fair in Miami, covered here, FAILE debuted a new body of work at the Allouche Gallery booth, in which the duo draws on their roots of experimenting with printmaking. Hi-Fructose was given a first hand look at both the work that was on display, as well as some pieces reserved for private showing at the booth, which combine the eye-catching, graphic style of their recent “Savage/Sacred Young Minds” exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum with more refined collage-like images. All of the pieces are hand cut and float-mounted on constructed paper stock, and several are physically ripped and rearrange visuals of symbols, logos and post-war icons in the tradition of European avant-garde. There is no word yet on whether these pieces will reappear in a larger exhibition, so for now, enjoy the series below courtesy of Allouche Gallery.

While Brooklyn-based duo FAILE (featured in HF Vol. 18) first garnered attention for their street art, they have made a name for themselves with their mixed-media works and immersive installations. Their collage-like imagery borrows from vintage storybook illustrations and punk rock poster art alike and they seem to enjoy pouring on the sensory overload. The duo currently has a show at Allouche Gallery in New York, "FAILE: Works on Wood: Process, Paintings and Sculpture."
Francisco Esnayra When you’re faced with fairs measured in dozens, visiting every Miami Art Week offering isn’t feasible if you really want to enjoy it. Our suggestion: Check their social feeds or websites and pick a couple fairs that speak to you. Each one is going to offer some surprises. And even in repeat visits to events like Art Miami and Spectrum Miami, we saw gems that eluded us the first time around.
 Last night, sculptor Daniel Arsham celebrated a return to his hometown of Miami with his installation, "Welcome to the Future" at Locust Projects. The project was successfully funded by Kickstarter and donations to create an original, site specific experience to Miami. Although an apocalyptic glimpse into our future, the piece is inspired by Arsham's past- his survival of Hurricane Andrew in the 1990s.
Jordan Wolfson In this installment, we focus on the big one. As daunting and seemingly endless as Art Basel Miami Beach can seem, the the 500,000 square-feet of exhibition space yields opportunities to see both worthy emerging and trusted talent alongside the other. The sampling size is quite massive: more than 4,000 artists and more than 200 galleries represented.
