OOPS! is back!
Celebrating failures, flops, and fiascos, OOPS! 2 invites artists to share their biggest failures. Work shown in OOPS! 2 spans a multitude of failures: technical failures and physically broken work is accompanied by conceptual failures and failures of wider societal issues. Artists approached the theme with vulnerability, passion, bravery, as well as humor. They present their work to the public to celebrate the hard part of being an artist, which is when the work comes out different than they imagined. Many of the artists share their pieces in OOPS! as a stepping stone to pieces that they’ve made that were successful due to what they learned by failing.
Co-Curated by Bailey Anderson and Nancy Good, OOPS! 2 is open from August 23rd through September 20th. We invite you to join us at the closing reception on September 20th from 6-8 PM or during normal business hours (Tuesday - Friday, 12-6 PM).
