Our serial public program and potluck is back! Flux Saturdays are organized by different artists and take many forms, including pop-up exhibitions, performances, screenings, artist presentations and more.

Underground Underwater Costume Workshop
1:00 – 7:00 pm

Come make something strange and otherworldly fitting of the city’s underwater universe with Piper Amphora, the artist duo behind Flux IV’s upcoming theatrical performance, Underground and Underwater. Drawing on techniques from puppetry, costume, and theater fabrication, participants will transform everyday, found materials into fantastical wearables inspired by New York City’s buried waterways. Costumes created in this workshop will become part of Underground and Underwater‘s spectacular last act: a 100+ person Orphic night parade along the Hunter’s Point waterfront. 

No RSVP required! Free and open to all skill levels. No materials needed but attendees are welcome to bring their own. Underground and Underwater will take place on September 12 and 13, 2026 at Flux IV.

Closing Party: Error is Shadow with 502 Bad Gateway
5:00 – 7:00 pm

Join us for the closing of the exhibition Error is Shadow with an arcade game tournament hosted by 502 Bad Gateway. Play In The End, And In Minutes, the artists’ roguelike deckbuilder, and compete to become the best sector administrator. Prizes will be awarded to the top players.

This event takes place in conjunction with Flux IV‘s current exhibitions, Itinerant Signal Institute (Rite of Spring) and 502 Bad Gateway: Error is Shadow.
