From the Website
T&J Art Walk Limited is the organisers behind T&J Art Walk for the benefit of Human Rights Watch. It is a London based company run by Katinka Traaseth and Johanna Beer. The two young women met at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London where they studied Art & Business. In fact the charity project started as a school project in form of a business proposal. However, with their common interest for contemporary street art and charitable work they quickly decided that they wanted to realise the idea of supporting a good cause through the sales of art. The choice of contemporary street art was easy as the form of art was traditionally used to express the people's opinion and a political message. Stay tuned to follow the process and see what's next…

FAILE PUZZLEBOXES & MORE

These are an interesting addition to contemporary art objects, unique multiples and objects of desire. Loving the aesthetic, if not the price. Nice touch with the app though.

More on this plus a new show and print release below.

Faile Puzzle Boxes:

As some of you know we've been exploring a series of work influenced by the use of modular wooden cubes over the last three years, this has come to fruition in a variety of ways. Today we are launching a new website and mobile app to highlight the original inspiration behind this work. Please take some time to enjoy the puzzles and play. The idea behind the site and app was to create a place where anyone can play, solve or abstract the artworks within the world of Faile. The links are here and there's more information below in the third person.

LA Works on Paper "Faile: A Decade of Prints & Originals":

It seems like everyone is heading out to LA, so we thought we'd join the party. We're doing a small, works on paper show with a new LA-based print shop called Post No Bills in Venice, CA. The show will feature a variety of works on paper over the last 12 years (a decade just sounded better). Plus a few other goodies. Should be fun. Opening will be June 23rd. There will be several new pieces available at the show. More information to come on this over the next few weeks.

PaperMonster Print:

Tuesday - June 7th at Noon in New York.

We know this one has taken a little longer than expected. Despite the amount of time, you can't really rush these, we couldn't be more pleased with the print. It will be an edition of 300, rather large in physical size and a lot of color. We hope you're going to enjoy it. Thanks for the inquiries. We'll be sure to send an update when it's set to launch.

That's it for now, more to come soon. Thanks to everyone as always, the support is greatly appreciated.

FAILE, BEDTIME STORIES

The two Patricks, better known as FAILE, open their NYC show Bedtime Stories tonight at Perry Rubenstein gallery.

Sneak Peak

From the press release

Perry Rubenstein Gallery presents Brooklyn-based multimedia artists FAILE. The artist collaborative returns on November 4th with Bedtime Stories, an exhibition of new works that feature imagery mined from FAILE’s singular visual archive and that emphasize the painterly dimensions of their frenetic visual tapestries.



Following on the heels of two major projects—the interactive arcade of Deluxx Fluxx and the haunting, allegorical suite, Lost in Glimmering Shadows—Bedtime Stories is a return to fundamentals that pushes questions of form and process to the forefront. Each of the twelve works’ compositions are assembled from numerous painted wooden blocks and they emerge as unified paintings. They reveal FAILE’s relentless assimilation and refinement of the vast visual vocabularies of both the urban environment and their own decade-long practice. The grids of these paintings are at once modular and fixed, tactile and graphic. On their surfaces, iconoclastic characters fluidly intermingle with adroit deconstructions of commodity culture. The re-combinations of carefully constructed texts and images provide a glimpse into FAILE’s rigorous and organic process, and draw attention to painting’s inherent materiality.

Works such as Addicted & Alone and Faile Launch reshape painterly traditions of pointillism and the affichistes, while simultaneously suggesting newer media that draws on the pixelation of digital technology and the improvisational roots of collage and street art. Bedtime Stories presents works of a neo-baroque ilk yet they are aggressively beautiful while underscoring FAILE’s continued exploration of formal and aesthetic inquiry and evolution.
