SUMMARY:RUB - Now Wave and Graphic Activism
DESCRIPTION:Flyer by Cayla Lockwood\nRUB – Now Wave and Graphic Activism\nFlux Factory Major Exhibition\nNovember 23 – December 15\n\nOpening Reception: November 23\, from 7:30 – 12am\nOpen Hours: Thursday – Sunday\, 1 – 6pm\nCLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING WEEKEND \nFULL SCHEDULE BELOW \nRUB is an independent publication\nan exhibition at Flux Factory\nan invitation to collaborate\, learn and build community \n\nRUB moves between two axes: the DIY strategies of the NOW-WAVE\, and GRAPHIC ACTIVISM. The NOW-WAVE houses artists who produce counterculture that challenges the boundaries of Nationhood\, and address issues that cross cultural boundaries. This movement wrestles with the notion of collective vs individual identities\, and uses a praxis of art and activism that moves beyond the white box context. The second axis is experimentation and reinvention through GRAPHIC ACTIVISM. The RUB Exhibition centers pieces with a special sensitivity for printed matter and publishing as practice\, that makes visible under-represented and under-appreciated identities. Themes that are included are: the experience of POC and QPOC; therapeutic art practices that deal with abuse\, depression\, and trauma; using graphic languages in the processes of resistance; and always returning to the personal as political. RUB features a selection of multidisciplinary practitioners and artists who use these two axes as raw materials. \nRUB originated as an independent publication\, zine and channel. RUB has traveled around the world\, into different exhibitions spaces such as the “Freedom School” at SPRING/BREAK Art Show— during Armory arts week in NYC\, Singapore art bookfair\, AKI Gallery in Taipei\, Taipei Contemporary Art Center\, Queer zine Fest\, LA Printed Matter\, and more recently AKTA community center in Tokyo and Kyoto Art Center. RUB’s mission is creative engagement with local experimental communities of color in an era where the United States is ruled by a paranoiac\, and a dehumanizing nexus has come in his wake. We witness a culture infected with commodification\, consumerism\, violence and the rupture of identity. A culture of manufactured fear and legally institutionalized discriminations. RUB is a free space\, an incubator in a society shaped by brutality where uncensored voices can express nonconformity\, opposition and provocation to the socio-political panorama. Within the space of RUB\, we can escape the imposed boundaries through a de-colonial\, DIY and activist practice. \nNOW WAVE and GRAPHIC ACTIVISM Movement Members List\nAarati Akkapeddi\, Amelia Bande\, Mitsuko Brooks\, Eun Hyea Choi\, Jevijoe Vitug\, Kaitlin Chan (Queer Reads Library)\, Pei Ling Ho\, Toby Millman\, Martha Naranjo Sandoval\, Maureen Catbagan\, Yin Ming Wong\, Andre Ramos-Woodard\, Yanbo Li\, XVK\, Eleni Theodora Zaharopoulos + more artist contributors coming \n\nFULL PROGRAM \nNOVEMBER 23\nOPENING RECEPTION with performances\n7:30pm to 12am\, Performances by Pei Ling Ho\, Amelia Bande and Echo the Golden Ghost \nIn this participatory performance Pei Ling Ho explores themes of “East/West” and “self/other” within the contemporary context of global feminism. Often use her own body as a vehicle to activate social issues on the impact of exotic and local culture\, gender identity awareness\, the legitimacy of parents under the social system\, and the emotional blackmail in a family. \nAmelia Bande is a writer working in performance\, theater and film. Her plays Chueca and Partir y Renunciar were staged in Santiago\, Chile. She is part of the Gel Film Series (2012- present) and she co-founded Publishing Puppies\, a press for visual work\, poetry and fiction (2011-present). She has recently shown work\, solo and collaborative\, at Artists Space\, The Poetry Project\, Pratt Manhattan Gallery\, Dixon Place\, BAM\, The Shandaken Project\, and many more. \n\nEcho the Golden Ghost  will be enacting a physical haunting out of grief for genocidal displacement of not only humans but its own embodiment as a golden figure. Gold\, just like our labor and our bodies is commodified and extracted in the name of white western cisheteronormative imperialism and american exceptionalism. \n\nCLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING WEEKEND \n\nDECEMBER 1\n10am – 6pm\, ADULT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING \n(must attend all 8 hours)\n\nRSVP Required\, please enroll here \nThis course teaches participants a five-step action plan to help someone 18 years or older who is displaying signs of a mental illness or emotional crisis. Participants will receive a city certificate of participation.\n \n\nDECEMBER 7\nWORKSHOP AND GARAPARTY\n4 – 7pm\, WORSHOP: FAMILY ALBUM PHOTOS IN ART by Martha Naranjo Sandoval \n\nFamily pictures are interesting because their amateur quality makes them as intentional as they are accidental. In this workshop we will revise works of art that use family pictures in different ways and experiment with family pictures. Found family pictures will be provided but we encourage to bring your own as well. \n10pm – 1am GARAPARTY created by DEX FERNANDEZ with DJ Dekdestroy from Manila\nSuggested Donation $5\nThe GaraParty was born out of that desire with the notion of parasitic infestation expanded in the form of a fantasy: Guests assume the role of Garapata\, set free and welcomed by a willing host – the party venue. GaraParty is a commentary: An escape from the dire circumstances of reality\, such as dirty politics\, poverty\, loneliness\, discrimination\, etc. It is also an idyllic moment where\, in contrast to reality\, parasites – or metaphorically\, humans on the margins of society.\n\nDECEMBER 12\nFLUX THURSDAY\n6pm\, RELEASE OF RUB CATALOG BOOK WITH ALL THE CONTRIBUTORS\n \nFlux Thursday is Flux Factory’s longest running program.
