Since our beginnings in 2012, Tempting Failure has supported and shown work that’s often considered too messy, too difficult or too extreme by many. We are dedicated to performance art, noise and sonic art. Programming artists that are usually sidelined by producers and venues. As an artist-led company we understand the care needed to create a supportive environment where challenging or experimental practice can be presented in a safe and contextualised manner. We programme local artists, alongside national and international practices. Combining unique commissions with work selected through our international open call, held every two years.
