I can't describe how utterly excited I am about the fact that Faile are coming to Edinburgh!!!

Faile | 'Deluxx Fluxx' in Edinburgh, by joecool91 on May 7, 2014 19:34:22 GMT 1, By the way, I emailed summerhall to get some initial info and got this back;
FAILE & Bรคst FAILE BรST DELUXX FLUXX ARCADE EDINBURGH 2014 1 August โ 26 September 2014
This will be an installation of the work they showed at Art Basel Miami Beach 2013. Visitors will take a turn with the specially created and programmed video games and pinball machines or play a round of psychedelic foosball. The Brooklyn-based FAILE are a duo comprising of Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, for Deluxx Fluxx they join forces with the street artist Bรคst. Their aim to make art less sterile, more fun, and accessible to a broader audience creating a space that is "a magical wonderland of weirdness and art." Harkening back to the golden age of arcade games, contemporary punk rock and graffiti culture, this neon-laden, interactive and DIY-feeling installation takes the form of a classic video arcade while exploring the tactile possibilities of the wooden cabinet as sculptural medium. A second exhibition of new works entitled Vestige Board Paintings, fuse the practices of the urban interventionists, interrupting the Summerhall compound. FAILE's work is constructed from found visual imagery, and blurs the line between "high" and "low" culture. Recent exhibitions have demonstrated an emphasis on audience participation, the critiquing of consumerism, and the incorporation of religious media, architecture, and site-specific, archival research into their work.

Faile | 'Deluxx Fluxx' in Edinburgh, by Feral Things on May 7, 2014 22:16:58 GMT 1, I might be slightly bias but I think Edinburgh is an awesome city. If anyone is considering heading up to the Faile show then I would definitely recommend making a weekend of it. Fantastically atmospheric old town, beautiful new town, great nights out in the Grassmarket, stunning views from Arthur's Seat and the best whisky shops. There's some great galleries too like Ingleby and Gamma Proforma and the National Gallery of a Modern Art has a great collection including Lichtenstein, Francis Bacon and Anselm Kiefer. OK, that's the end of my advert for the Scottish Tourist Board

Faile | 'Deluxx Fluxx' in Edinburgh, by ricobenfico on Jun 7, 2014 23:07:49 GMT 1, So, if anyone is indeed heading to Edinburgh for this Faile extravaganza ( as well as the Kennard Phillips exhibition and/or Gary Baseman exhibition), then give me a shout and we could organise a pint or 2!
PS I can offer cheap rates on a B+B one hour outside Edinburgh in a little micro-climate near St Andrews and many beaches!

Faile | 'Deluxx Fluxx' in Edinburgh, by taco on Aug 3, 2014 20:56:29 GMT 1, the vestige board paintings are much better in the flesh, they're quite big with little bits of faile prints hidden amongst the paint, some more obvious than others. The arcade games are way better than the fluxx in london a few years ago, more interactive and game like, there's pinball machines as well. As shown in the preview pictures, for Scotland there was some tartan mixed in on the walls as well as a faile's take on the Lion Rampant on the fussball table room floor. Lots of bast too....
