(ENG) While trying to control and manage our lives, jobs, animals and artworks, we often fail to synchronise ourselves. The exhibition Failed to Sync aims to provoke moments of interruption, mistakes or even fffailure. During
the show at puntWG one might encounter singing voices, lying stones, tapping fingers, blinking words and human B's. Artists who participate in the exhibi(t)ion include the following:
Dovilė Aleksandravičiūtė (LT)
Dina Danish (EG/FR)
Anna Frijstein (NL)
Lieven Lahaye (BE)
Cindy Moorman (NL)
Failed to Sync is accompanied by a side program which will feature performative sessions, speeches, artist talks as well as lectures; artists, philosophers, sociologists, Foley artists and everything in between will share their moments of (a)syncronicity. All the public events will be announced on our page –attend online and stay informed! With this hectic, eclectic and hyperactive approach, Failed to Sync hopes to deliver you plenty of (a)synchronicity. Go, check it out and sing along. Failed to Sync (Calendar):
Saturday 29 October 17 - 20 hrs (Opening)
Sunday 6 November 16 - 18 hrs (Performances)
Sunday 13 November 16 - 18 hrs (Talks)

(NL) Terwijl we proberen de controle over onze levens, dieren, banen en kunstwerken te veroveren, krijgen we onszelf niet gesynchroniseerd. De expositie Failed to Sync zoekt naar momenten van interruptie, fouten of zelfs fffalen. Tijdens de tentoonstelling in puntWG treffen we zingende stemmen, liegende stenen, tikkende vingers, flikkerende woorden en menselijke B's. Deelnemende kunstenaars van de tentoonstelling zijn:
Dovilė Aleksandravičiūtė (LT)
Dina Danish (EG/FR)
Anna Frijstein (NL)
Lieven Lahaye (BE)
Cindy Moorman (NL)
