Faile is an artistic duo made up of Patrick McNeill and Patrick Miller. Founded in 1998, and initially featuring fellow street-artist AIKO (up until her departure in 2006), the groups work consists of a wide variety of mixed media, playing on comic-book style imagery and collage to make intensely saturated compositions, sculptures and installations.
The duo has enjoyed exhibitions at Tate modern, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Brooklyn museum the Central Academy of Fine Art Museum in Beijing, and the Mima Museum in Brussels, among other institutions. FAILE has also produced large-scale murals and staged participatory public interventions in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Lyon, France—further blurring the lines between “high” and “low” culture.
