FAILURE HOUSE
Failure House is a project initiated by Bas Schevers in association with Sober & Lonely Institute for Contemporary Art. The project is based on research and experiments conducted by Schevers, and in collaboration with invited artists, using the theme of failure as a starting point. The objective of this project is to bring together various individual “failures” exploring the subtleties of each (artistic) interpretation. The “residue”, as Schevers puts it, of each interpretation, will be documented, chronicled and explored as perceived ‘black spots’ in each respective life and/ or artistic oeuvre. The experience of art making and the processes therein, eventuate in either the success or the failure of an idea, causing different understandings and questions to arise in ways that are paradoxical, optimistic and subversive.
