Life is Hard features the work of nine young artists that explore the idea of failure in contemporary life.

 

Originally part of a discursive collective that met regularly to discuss their work, each artist actively investigated this idea with a view to engaging failure by any means. Their work responds to the notion that failure is a prevalent subject in contemporary culture and an arresting concept that unites their approach to making. The exhibition, which is a curated outcome of this collaborative investigation, features performance, installation, video and photographic works that confront the ideas of personal humiliation, death, alienation and the frailty of language and memory.
