FAILE: The Size of the Fight , by tinmans on Jun 13, 2017 0:51:16 GMT 1, FAILE: THE SIZE OF THE FIGHT JUNE 24 - AUGUST 12, 2017
Library Street Collective (LSC) is proud to present the first Detroit exhibition for FAILE, the Brooklyn-based artist collaboration between Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller. The showโs title, The Size of the Fight, references Mark Twainโs quote, โItโs not the size of the dog in the fight, itโs the size of the fight in the dog,โ and relates to the cityโs impressive comeback over the past few years. FAILE is inspired by the resilience, passion, and energy they see the Detroit community bringing to the cityโs infrastructure and art scene.
Progenitors of the street art culture in the early 2000s, FAILE incorporates popular imagery, bold hues, layered source material, and enigmatic text into their work. In the LSC galleries, theyโll display twelve new paintings. Their process of painting separate woodblocks and patching them together results in textured, quilt-like works imbued with a sense of nostalgia. โWe are interested in exploring American Folk Art through the lens of our urban life,โ says Miller.
LSC has transformed a formerly disused alleyway near the gallery into a public exhibition space called โThe Beltโ and welcomes one artist per year to display a series of panels as part of their Public Matter program. FAILE will mount five large-scale painted, stenciled, and silkscreened works on wood panels that incorporate textile design patterns, images of urban signage, American Folk Art elements, abstract grids, and typography. โTheyโre eye candy deluxe,โ says McNeil. โWe wanted to celebrate what we do in the urban environment with a nod to our studio practice.โ
At the conclusion of FAILEโs Public Matter exhibition, LSC and FAILE will donate one of the Public Matter works to Detroit Academy of Arts & Sciences, a Detroit-based charter school that views artistic development as central to the education of todayโs youth and tomorrowโs leaders. The artwork will be displayed in the schoolโs common areas for studentsโ daily interaction.
FAILE: The Size of the Fight will be on view at Library Street Collective Detroit from June 24 - August 12, 2017 with the public opening and artist reception on June 24 from 6-8PM, along with a reception / afterparty for Public Matter in The Belt from 6-11PM

FAILE: The Size of the Fight , by tinmans on Jun 13, 2017 2:05:26 GMT 1, I'm from the Detroit area and hope to make opening night and take a few photos. I will definitely post them if I do. Library Street Collective is an excellent gallery representing some of the heavyweights of the street art scene.

An image like Equipped would be 6500 from the studio, and these works are framed so an extra 500 isn't unreasonable. Worth something is the only one that feels a tad high, but again, it's also framed.
I really like spill, reminds me of scuba horse era faile

FAILE: The Size of the Fight , by tinmans on Jun 22, 2017 5:49:26 GMT 1, Pretty sure "worth something" cost as much as the initial release price in 2011. Flint Eastwood is playing the belt opening night at LSC. Faile is also I think going to contribute to the belt the alley next door to the gallery.

FAILE: The Size of the Fight , by Faile 313 on Jun 22, 2017 8:07:18 GMT 1, I really like the concept of including "vintage fabric" (ebay tshirts?) in the block works. I don't love most of the images they choose but given quilting's influence on them, I dig the direction.
Have they used fabric or copper before?
