The BKM Adult Programs crew swung by FAILE’s studio in Greenpoint to check out what the artists are working on for their upcoming exhibition at the museum. We played some of their arcade games from Deluxx Fluxx & chatted about their inspirations, and upcoming summer programs.FAILE, who explained that they are interested in revamping “discarded histories” to create something new and beautiful, shared some of the interactive elements of their work–from old fashioned puzzle boxes to 80’s style pin-ball machines that visitors will be invited to play at the museum. We’re excited to create public programs that explore their process and the various decorative art and cultural influences in their work–especially since our encyclopedic collection has many examples of the cultural and decorative work from which they draw their source imagery. Here’s a sneak preview of what’s in the works:Art Off the Wall on Thursday, July 23rd will include an artist talk, video game tournament, and musical performance by Swizz Beatz.Street Art Walking Tour with Brooklyn Street Art (BSA), Saturday, August 22nd.On September 24th, FAILE will be back to chat with BSA and release a special edition of their exhibition catalog, followed by a book signing.There’s no need to wait for our August brooklynstreetart​ walking tour, now that the weather is warm, you can really appreciate some of NYC’s finest graffiti and street art on a stroll through any Brooklyn neighborhood.Posted by Lauren Zelaya -- source link
