Last night I stopped by the Perry Rubenstein Gallery on 23rd between 10th/11th to check out FAILE's new show Bedtime Stories. Known for collage work and mosaic-like pieces (each piece is contrived of small individually painted/pasted blocks), I was thoroughly impressed with the juxaposition of iconic, pop culture and graphics. Not only did FAILE have 12 large scale pieces, but perhaps most exciting was the rectangular pillar statue in the center of the gallery--the 3D perspective allowed for more connections made. The mix of typography and familiar images was delicious to the eye. My favorite part of the show is pictured above--i think it shows an interesting commentary on American history and nationalism.
