“Kim Faler explores the extraordinary qualities lurking in everyday objects and materials. Her fascination lies in investigating how an artist can magnify and manipulate the physical properties of an object in ways that make the familiar seem uncanny.
Faler’s installation , Empire, consists of three purple, partially melted wax chandeliers -impossible objects doomed from the start- that have been reattached after crashing from the ceiling above. These drooping fixtures engage the idea that the practice of art is very much an exercise in failure, for nothing great comes from those who are afraid to make mistakes..” -excerpt from Kim Faler’s Empire installation placard

“My advice is to do what you can this second. Big plans that rely on other people, new equipment, long periods of time… they’re no good. What can you do right now? Delve under the anxieties until you get to a place that’s mysterious enough.” -Miranda July ♥
“This is not a democracy. No art form is. I love the creative process and I love being a complete dictator when it comes to my work. It’s my way or no way at all. I’m quite Darwinian about it. I do my thing and I survive or I don’t. I’m here now though.”- Ricky Gervais ♥
