FAILURE AND THE ARTIST- A Graduate Student Symposium and Exhibition
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." —Samuel Beckett, Worstward Ho
As Lisa Le Feuvre writes in her book Failure, artists working today address failure in diverse ways. Whether artists are realizing works in the studio, tackling the notions of past art movements, or confronting community concerns, failure presents an opportunity for artistic progression and dialogue.
The Graduate Art Organization and Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis present Failure ---> Progression, a juried group exhibition at the Des Lee Gallery.
Jury & Curator: This show will be juried and curated by Ellen Harvey, a New York-based artist that works within the subject of failure in a variety of media, including painting, video, installation and performance. Her work has been shown both nationally and internationally, including venues such as the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Center for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, Poland. More information on the curator can be found at www.ellenharvey.info.
Exhibition Location: Des Lee Gallery 1627 Washington Ave St Louis, MO 63103 If you have any questions regarding submission guidelines, installation requirements, or concept please feel free to contact us at samfoxgao@gmail.com.
