Failure - as something that cannot be willfully coveted but must, in many
ways, be "happened" upon accidentally and in most instances unintentionally
- holds innovative and intriguing artistic and theoretical possibilities.
In exact opposition to the philosophy of the "happy accident" that forms much of the romance of failure as a legitimate element of artistic
discovery, Dowsing For Failure involves artists who have encountered ways
of not succumbing to the optimistic and opportunistic mobilization of failure
in the name of success.
