Faile Temple - New book release February 25th 2012, by ncewnimw on Dec 27, 2011 21:01:28 GMT 1, According to Amazon, Faile will release a new book through Gestalten on February 25th 2012.
Sorry, can't copy paste the link with my IPad.
Book Description Publication Date: February 25, 2012 The latest book from the vanguard American urban artists. The duo of American artists known as Faile have established themselves along with Banksy and Shepard Fairey as the leading figures in urban art. They are best known for their prints, graphic design, and paintings, which have been exhibited in museums and have been sold successfully by renowned galleries such as Gagosian and Lazarides. Their monograph Faile: Prints + Originals 1999-2009, which we released in the fall of 2010, sold out immediately after it was published. Now, Faile Temple presents the New York-based artists' most complex and ambitious project to date. For the Portugal Arte 10 festival, they created a largescale, temporary installation of a temple on Lisbon's Praรงa de Restauradores. Although inspired by the ruins of a Baroque chapel, its decorative frescoes and sculptures feature familiar elements from Faile's contemporary oeuvre. The temple project gave Faile a unique opportunity to reinterpret and delve deeper into the core themes of their art--consumerism, globalization, and the tension between classical art and the profane. Faile Temple not only documents the finished project in all its fascinating detail, but also features images of its construction and installation as well as pieces that inspired its design. An insightful text about Faile's work by the art journalist W. Ian Bourland rounds out the publication.

Can you post some pics of the inside of the book? Interested to see the contents.
Not sure if I'll buy one or not. I really liked their last book but I'm not sure I want a whole book about the temple.

Interested to see the contents. Not sure if I'll buy one or not. I really liked their last book but I'm not sure I want a whole book about the temple. Glossy pics of the temple project, not much worth photgraphing that'd make sense, mainly 1 big pic per page with minimal writing.
