 Welcome everyone to the Fale Temple. This is a project we originally started in 2010 and are showing again here at the Brooklyn Museum this year. On a trip to Lisbon in 2007, we went there to explore and get inspired for what we would create as the temple. What excited us most about Lisbon was this idea of lost crafts, the city mosaic and hand painted tiles, the ceramics of Delarobia, the stonework, the steelwork, and this tapestry of lost crafts that made up the city of Lisbon. And when we came back to Brooklyn, we took cues from our own environment and hybrided that with what we experienced in Lisbon to create what would become the temple. Originally when we were thinking about these temples and exploring a lot of sort of architectural spaces throughout Lisbon, one of the things that we were really inspired by was this idea of decay and by the way that we would see these old tiles being replaced with the new and as you would walk around some of these historical places that are still mixed within a contemporary city, you see the way they try to preserve these things and still have this sense of past even though they might be crumbling and falling apart. And in our work for a long time, we've been really inspired by this idea of the way things are weathered and ripped apart and are slowly disappearing through time. Using mosaics as the medium for the interior parts of the temple was looking back again at a lot of the traditional materials that were being used in art and in architecture historically and trying to bring what we do today to that place to kind of marry how something contemporary can fit into a style from the past and how that might work in the overall temple structure. So looking at again some of these traditional ideas of art making and public art and these things, we started to explore the mosaics. Everything in the studio begins with image making, creating black and white images, stories and narratives that resonate with stories that Patrick and I want to tell. What gets exciting is over time when we bring those images into the studio and put them through our filter, how they start to get broken down when we put them into new contexts, whether that's an arcade cabinet or a pinball machine or the temple and how those new contexts can bring new meaning to those images.
