Let's discuss why art projects fail all the time...

The Institute for Infinitely Small Things is interested in failure and wants to produce a Failure Support Group in Baltimore, MD, as part of the Transmodern Festival. But we can't make that happen without your help to donate small bits of cash to get us there.

Art projects fail a lot, particularly those that are participatory, public and/or social. They fail for different reasons and cause myriad revelations. Nevertheless, the structures that we use to talk about these works and contexts where they are presented often don’t leave room for discussing the failures plainly and objectively. Our Failure Support Group will provide an open and honest forum for creative folks to talk about their failures in a supportive context. Help the Institute for Infinitely Small Things bring the Failure Support Group to Baltimore by donating a small amount of money now.

This is the mailing list for the below groups & projects:

The Institute for Infinitely Small Things conducts creative, participatory research that aims to temporarily transform public spaces dominated by corporate and political agendas. Using performance and conversation, we investigate social and political "tiny things". These have included corporate ads, street names, and post-9/11 security terminology. The Institute markets dissent through its research reports in the form of maps, books and videos. This interdisciplinary group has a varied and open membership.
