Fail Harder

FAIL HARDER delves into the notion that experimentation and failure are key elements to a well rounded studio practice. Often the biggest failures lead to the best unanticipated outcomes. Featuring our nine resident studio artists, the risk of failure is confronted head-on as they spend three days and nights together in the gallery participating in an intensive making frenzy. The community of a shared studio is amplified while innovation and insight into process are highlighted in this year’s annual KINGS ARI studio exhibition.
Artists: Candice Cranmer, Bianca Durrant, Ben Millar, Andy Wear, C J Conway, Lucy Farmer, Fiona Williams, Rebecca Adams, Emma Van Leest

It’s on the shelf in the studio. Occasionally it catches the eye from its place in the corner.
Its an object of intrigue that never grew or one of those dead-end tangents.
Perhaps it was part of the process or didn’t make the exhibition cut.

...yet it lingers...

‘Shelved’ is a collection of these works.
Anonymous and untitled - these works sit beside their fellow misfits
and beautiful dead-ends. Collectively they allude to aspects of the artist process
and experience ordinarily undeserving of exhibition.
