Ward Shelley’s current exhibition of timeline paintings provide a people’s history of everything from the development of alternative lifestyles to the evolution of teen culture.

Flux Factory is thrilled to be one of the initial recipients of a grant from A Blade of Grass. This year we have been awarded a one-time grant of $20,000 for general operating costs and capacity-building initiatives. Drinks are on us!

Jaime Iglehart has been documenting the construction of the Flux embassy in Aarhus, Denmark for the project, The Infamous and Only Somewhat Ambassadorial Outpost of the Semi-Legitimate Nation of Flux. She’s captured Fluxers in the wild, as they scavenge for materials to build a replica Flux inside the gallery of Spanien 19c and weave together an exaggerated Flux history. Watch this video to see Flux Artistic Director Jean Barberis explain the crest he designed to symbolize Fluxhood.
