      About the Audain Gallery

The Audain Gallery serves as a vital aspect of the Visual Arts program 
at Simon Fraser University's School for the Contemporary Arts.
The Audain Gallery's mission is to advance the aesthetic and discursive 
production and presentation of contemporary visual art through a 
responsive program of exhibitions in support of engaged pedagogy.

The Audain Gallery encourages conceptual and experimental projects that 
explore the dialogue between the social and the cultural in contemporary 
artistic practices.

The Audain Visual Artists in Residence Program and student exhibitions 
are central to the Audain Gallery's programming.

The Audain Gallery is curated by Sabine Bitter, working with Gallery 
Assistant Heidi Meixner.

/I Could Be Wrong/ is organized and curated by SFU 3rd year Visual Art 
students, the exhibition considers the notion of failure laterally. 
Viewing failure as contingent and continuously in flux generates a 
departure point for discussing the contemporary paradox that in fact, 
true failure is questionable in an age where progress is suspect and 
failure to conform is often validated as a subversive act.

The artists included in the exhibition have approached the concept of 
failure critically through the examination of failed cultural models, 
utopias and utopian thinking, a testing of the limits of formal 
representation, and an exploration of the potentiality of human attempt, 
error and inadequacy. Strategies for engaging range from attempts at 
emulation and re-enactment, demonstrations of the instability of 
replication, deconstruction of the expert and the amateur, and 
navigation through systems of authority and bureaucracy. Throughout /I 
Could Be Wrong/ there is an understanding of difference and 'otherness' 
that aids in the assertion of new perspectives towards dominant ideology.

Taking the experience of the student in a long process of learning, full 
of successes and failed attempts, this exhibition launches a question to 
consider what it means to fail -- and thus, paradoxically to succeed -- 
by challenging the limits of binary models for assessing levels of 
progress and achievement.
