Regarding our publishing venture: we are now presenting books and projects done by other individuals and collectives.

We thought that publishing and helping to distribute interesting, independently created projects might further our missions. Have any ideas to pitch to us? Pitch away.

Failure! Experiments in Aesthetic and Social Practices

 


A book of essays, interviews and artwork that together offer a minor history of failure. Tracing the idea of failure through contemporary art, activism and social protest movements, literary and philosophy, the work in Failure! cuts against a notion of forward progress by instead exploring various dead-ends on the timeline of history. Edited by Nicole Antebi, Colin Dickey, and Robby Herbst, Failure! gives us ways to map our lives in relationship to improper paths.

This introduction by Robby Herbst for the Failure! book was written after the books publication and is not in the book.
 
Contributors include: Catherine Lord, Doug Harvey, Sam Green, Sam Durant, Yoshua Okón, Eduardo Abaroa, William Pope L., Temporary Services, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Catherine Hollander, Zoe Trodd, David Schafer, Richard Dedomenici, Alex Juhasz, Sarah Kanouse, Lisa Anne Auerbach, Sarah Lewison, John Conley, and Tommy Williford.
