In place of the JR mural that went up in June of this year, Faile has now taken over the notorious space on Houston Street, next to Billy’s antiques. The Brooklyn based troupe, Faile, is the latest of a long line of greats to put up work in that spot. Other recent pieces have included Kenny Scharff, Shepard Fairey and Os Gemeos. More looks after the jump.

“In July 2010, the Brooklyn-based street art collective FAILE installed their much awaited Temple Project in the heart of Lisboa, Portugal. Having spent years tagging the streets of various cities, FAILE has developed an acute awareness of our urban settings, and this Temple is a masterful display of the site specificity of their oeuvre.
“Right in the middle of Restauradores Square in Lisboa, FAILE married pop art with antiquity in what appeared to be an ancient ruin. Described as ‘camouflaged in plain sight,’ the design allowed people to engage and interact with the work on their own terms. The artists have always been interested in the notion of visual time travel. Throughout their work, their subtle references to 1986, the year the Space Shuttle Challenger launched and crashed, seek to tug at our subconscious, providing just enough of a visual cue to trigger the emotional reconstruction of a past moment.”

Produced by Agency Y&R Zurich, this inventive campaign for Leica’s new S2, featuring a staggering 37.5 million megapixels, champions the sharp detail possible by the camera. Those highlights within the poster frames? Yes, that’s the “sharpest details” available, the potential of the S2 explored in full. I like the play of camera shape, fine detail, and bright color. As someone whose tried, and failed, to successfully photograph antique furniture, the storyline of this campaign strikes a cord.

Brooklyn-based artist collective Faile have released a new series of prints.
Worlds Best Ever reports, “The prints are being released in conjunction with the Bedtime Stories show featuring some of the new processes involved in the wood paintings. These are 18-color silkscreen prints on an archival Coventry Rag 290gsm, deckled edge paper. Based off 3 new images from the show. It was quite a journey to try and convey the wood block paintings as works on paper though we couldn’t be more pleased with the results, we hope you enjoy. Prints are $800.”
The prints hit market yesterday. Available here.

Last night, Perry Rubenstein Gallery opened the Brooklyn-based artist collaborative Faile’s latest exhibition, Bedtime Stories.
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.
Jacob Breinholt was on hand and his photographs recap the show, which runs through December 23, 2010.
