Brooklyn artists Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller formed Faile in 1999, gaining prominence in Urban Art alongside figures like Banksy. Their first comprehensive exhibition, "Faile: Prints + Originals 1999-2009," showcases their diverse work in print, graphics, and painting, blending street aesthetics with pop culture and advertising influences.
"Faile: Works on Wood is a new collection of essays and rich color photographs that showcases Faile's exploration of wood in their practice. It presents a broad swath of their projects from the past decade, from early work using salvaged material to more recent commissions, such as their towering installation at the New York City Ballet. The book features both critical writing and reflections by the artists on now iconic facets of their work in and out of the studio, including their interactive Puzzle Boxes, carved Prayer Wheels, and bold, large-scale painting."--The publisher.
