„I am FAIL EASY, and I would like to welcome everyone. Right now I am in the infinite construction. As a space I was created to offer people an environment as free as possible from fear for creative encounters. Here you can freely develop your ideas and make your own artistic experiences. I invite you all to be part of this process of construction…. I only become alive through you. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to learn more!“
At the invitation of the Kunstverein Ludwigshafen, FAIL designed a participatory, site-specific, free art lab in a shopping mall. The focus lay on a critical examination of the mall as a social space and the relationship between art and consumption. A diverse spatial structure was created on the basis of research and exchanges with local residents. The “back room” equipped with 3000 LEDs invited people to retreat and hide away. The partially gilded store was given an artificial voice that encouraged experimentation.
Everyone could use it as a stage for activities and implement their own creative ideas. Radically honest and curious, the needs of the audience and the institution were explored and lovingly challenged.
