Für das Kunstfestival Portugal Arte 10 (bis 15. August) hat das New Yorker Kollektiv Faile (Patrick McNeil und Patrick Miller) ein wirklich monumentales Projekt realisiert: Das Duo hat auf einem Platz in Lissabon eine Tempelruine in Originalgröße gebaut. “FAILE’s Temple is a full-scale church in ruins in Praça dos Restauradores Square, one of the major squares in the center of Lisbon, Portugal. For this installation, FAILE used both the typical motifs they use in their work and styles and material that are typical for Lisbon, such as the ceramic tiles. The building also features wrought iron gating and concrete relief work, from local and foreign manufacturers, and familiar FAILE images, such as the barking dog logo that appear in the reliefs, and a white, blue, and gold color palette as a reference to the Portugese landscape.” Mehr Bilder und das Video gibt’s bei VernissageTV, via.
