Flux Factory is looking for sharp volunteers and interns who relish the thought of plugging into a creative community.
September 12th, 8pm+ FREE!, but please bring something delicious to share Please join us Flux Thursday, our monthly potluck dinner and art salon. This month’s Flux Thursday is an extension of the group exhibition, Untitled (As of Yet), which explores disruption to routine as a fruitful phenomena.

Tuesday, August 20, moonrise until August 21, moonset Location: Clock Tower Plaza Buildings East and West Balconies, at the corner of 41st Avenue and Northern Boulevard. As the sun sets and the August full moon rises, Jacobus will accompany it as it traverses the night’s sky. Holding a mirror, the moons light will subtly be reflected out to Long Island City, the streets below and beyond.
Date: Thursday, September 12th, noon Location: TBD With an atlas and a ruler, Christopher & Douglas will determine the halfway point between participants. They are beginning with a team of 5 and each participant's location will alter the meeting point. Other adventurers may inquire about meeting them halfway, but have to specify what they can contribute to the expedition.
Date + time: September 6th, 6pm - on Location: Flux Factory, 39-31 29th Street, LIC You've gotten yourself into this art opening, but how are you going to get yourself out? The Long Walks Goodbye provides a framework by which to decisively exit: with someone you don't know.
Opening reception: Friday, September 6th, 6pm - on Exhibition hours: weekends in September, 1pm to 6pm and during the week by appointment Untitled (As of Yet) takes its point of departure from events that first appear to be disruptive, even catastrophic, but eventually open the door to new thoughts, practices, and opportunities.

Date: August 3rd, 3 - 6 PM Location: Flux Factory, 39-31 29th Street, Long Island City, NY Traffic Disruption Village asks us to consider what we would need to survive under the conditions of a mass stalled auto disaster. In 2010, China experienced a 9 day, 100 km long traffic jam that turned the road into “a collection of rooms”: a temporary village born of disaster. Traffic Disruption Village will serve as a drill for New Yorkers to prepare for a similar potential disaster phenomenon before it occurs.
