Bad Ideas

The living archive of bad ideas was created in 2019. It’s a multi-format archive designed to collect, hold and redistribute bad ideas. The project is ongoing. The bad ideas published in this book were collected on several occasions in 2020 and 2021: during the exhibition Unendlich organized by FAIL on the town’s square of Thallwitz, during the exhibition Appointment X in GFZK Leipzig and as a part of FAIL’s collaboration with a local youth prison facility. This book celebrates failure with a broad selection of bad ideas, contributed by more than 200 people. It was co-edited by Jasmin Meinold and Manu Washaus.
