Failure

Can a failed artwork still succeed as good, perhaps even great, art?  A work that falls short of an artist's intentions may still find receptive audiences. 

Strategies of an artwork, if the singular focus of the artwork and the aspect that differentiates and elevates is the strategies, ought to relay themselves without explanation.  Or the strategies ought not be singled out as the differentiating aspect, as they may not be successfully employed, unless failure of the strategies, even if only partial, is conceded or is the point of presentation, and the experimenter continues to try for positive results.
