FAILE Prayer Wheel Returns, Gets Baptized With Paint
Months after disappearing off the street without a trace, FAILE’s second spinning prayer wheel installation returns to Williamsburg. The sculpture is now bolted down on North 6th Street, blocks away from its original location on Bedford Avenue. It’s not clear what happened to the piece since it was last publicly seen, but it’s already been hit with paint and tags over the last few days. Meanwhile, ifoundfaile, the anonymous street art scavenger who swiped FAILE’s first prayer wheel in Williamsburg, still can’t sell the piece, telling prospective buyers, “Hurry ’sale’ ends soon.”

Editor-in-Chief:
ha good, hope they make$
obvious inside job is obvious
keep posting this fail story about faile; more note worthy and desirable if a victim of “stolen” art. pffft.
inside job about the second wheel becoming the third wheel like nobody noticed its the same “stolen” piece that went missing.
i checked that link, sale ends soon seems to all about dat big graffiti auction
where none of Faile’s 23 pieces sold if you read it
GOOD JOB!
