Failure, an exhibition at The Lab at Belmar that explores the creative potential that lies in the concept of failure. The Lab’s third Poop Deck Project, Failure will include single works by 35 artists mounted on existing panels in the Lab’s poop deck, an informal space dedicated to experimental exhibitions and live programs and performances. Continuing the investigation generated by the earlier exhibition Better, which explored multiple interpretations of the concept of improvement, Failure considers the social, theoretical and material expressions associated with malfunction, breakdown, disappointment, and rejection. It will open on Valentine’s Day and run until May 11, 2008. Artists participating in Failure have been selected for their ability to capitalize on the rich currency of the concept. The punk rock aspiration for freedom through a continual posture of unqualified rejection forms the most vivid historical backdrop for current discussions affirming the creative possibilities of failure.

Look out for Jay’s work, on the floor!
