SUMMARY:#indigenizemememoji.2020 - New Works by Jevijoe Vitug
DESCRIPTION:#indigenizemememoji.2020\nNew Works by Jevijoe Vitug \nLaunching August 9\, 2020 \nOn the event of the International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples\, Flux Factory is pleased to present #indigenizemememoji.2020\, a solo exhibition of paintings by Philippine-born artist Jevijoe Vitug. This exhibition\, initially cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic\, is presented here in digital form. \nDescription\, Artist Bios and List of Works Below\n \n\nExhibition Gallery\nTitles\, size and medium listed below \nPurell meme + Health Worker!

Layering graphics referencing the COVID-19 pandemic and statewide protests against systemic racism\, each painting amplifies this historic moment as translated through digital culture. \nThis new body of work is composed of 13 paintings\, in which Vitug continues his painting technique titled “pintados\,” painterly brushstrokes that have nuances of indigenous mark making. Similar to digital pixel units\, these marks become codes to forming imagery invisible at a first glance. Working in oil paint\, acrylic\, airbrush and water based UV-fluorescent paint overlapping one another\, the artist uses a diversity of painting media. \nA repeated motif in the works are brands around which viral memes were made during the pandemic\, such as Corona beer\, Purell hand sanitizer and Clorox bleach. The painting Queen Bey’s Purell Meme (2020) is based on a meme by Saint Hoax in which Beyonce holds Purell bottles\, while emoji hands reach out for the sanitizers. This work\, part of a diptych\, sits next to This is……Why (2020) which appropriates a meme posted by NBA star LeBron James showing a police officer’s knee on George Floyd’s neck\, next to a former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling in protest of police brutality. Both rendered using marking details similar to the tattoos of indigenous warriors in the Philippines\, depicted in the Boxer Codex manuscript (1590). Vitug combines a diversity of technique and reference to draw attention to the complex and interdependent forces impacting this social moment. \nOver the prolonged period of lockdown\, Vitug has continued painting in his studio as a coping strategy and to reflect on his experience living in Queens\, NY\, the epicenter of coronavirus outbreak that has disproportionately impacted immigrants of color. He uses coded humor\, layered with straightforward messages and hidden meanings to make visible his pre-colonial/ indigenous heritage\, and his continuing quest for decolonization. \n\nArtist Bios \nJevijoe Vitug \nQueens-based artist Jevijoe Vitug creates paintings\, performance and community projects as avant-garde strategy to visibilize labor\, indigenous legacy and the forgotten history of people of color. \nJevijoe earned his MFA dual degree in Studio Arts and Design and Technology from San Francisco Art Institute in 2015 and his work has been included in exhibitions at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (2005\, 2006)\, Singapore Art Museum (2006)\,\nDiego Rivera Gallery\, San Francisco\, CA (2009)\, Contemporary Arts Center\, Las Vegas (2012)\, Staff show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, NY (2017\, 2019)\, Queens Museum\, NY (2018)\, San Diego Art Institute\, San Diego CA (2019).

SUMMARY:Open Call: Nobody's Fashion Week Reporter in Residence
DESCRIPTION:Open Call: Nobody’s Fashion Week Reporter in Residence\n\n\nThe Reporter in Residence is responsible for documenting their experience of one or more events at Nobody’s Fashion Week. The reporting will provide content for the Nobody’s Fashion Week Zine as well as the archived classes\, and our presenting artists who can then incorporate it into their own websites. Ultimately\, we will be selecting content from the Reporters in Residence to be published in the Nobody’s Fashion Week Zine– an exhibition catalogue which seeks not just to document the exhibition itself\, but also our thoughts\, conversations and experiences with Fashion and self expression. \nReporting is entirely subjective and open to interpretation! \nIt could look like: \n\n\nScribbling down notes \n\n\nTaking screenshots \n\n\nDrawing sketches of the workshop taking place \n\n\nSelfies of you and your textile “work-in-process” as you take part in a workshop \n\n\nWritten reflections jotted down after the workshop takes place \n\n\nQuotations from the workshop leader and participants \n\n\nYour own thoughts and musings on fashion\, creativity\, politics\, etc\, as sparked by the event \n\n\nA journal entry of your day before\, during and after the workshop \n\n\nAnything you wish to create! This process is totally open to your creative input! \n\n\nIf you are interested in being a Reporter in Residence for Nobody’s Fashion Week\, please take a look at the event calendar\, and email us at fashion@fluxfactory.org\, indicating which workshop you would like to report on!

SUMMARY:Major Exhibition: Nobody's Fashion Week
DESCRIPTION:Nobody’s Fashion Week\nSeptember 1 – October 15 \nFull Exhibition Program at\nNobodysFashionWeek.com\nView the Nobody’s Fashion Week Zine HERE \nFashion is all around us. Fashion is body politics\, representation\, sustainability\, systems. Fashion is a medium that everybody participates in\, whether they like it or not. Fashion is Powerful.  Nobody’s Fashion Week aims to democratize Fashion by encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration\, skill-sharing culture\, and self-expression for everyone. \n \nDuring Covid-19\, we have witnessed the current fashion industry crumble as clothing sales go down\, shows get cancelled\, and more people turn to DIY. We ask\, with hope: What will be rebuilt in the shell of the previous industry? Who’s Fashion Week is it? Nobody’s Fashion Week is a reimagining of the fashion industry from the bottom up.   \nIf you have any questions about Nobody’s Fashion Week\, please reach out to us. For updates\, join our mailing list and follow us on instagram @nobodysfashionweek. Let’s reimagine the Fashion Industry together!\n \n\nExhibition Description \n\nOur show was dreamed up as a response to the hegemony\, wastefulness and gate-keeping of the corporate fashion industry. Nobody’s Fashion Week is a growing community of  independent designers taking agency in redefining our own Fashion Week and proposing alternative systems for Fashion. \nNobody’s Fashion Week features works and public programs by 20+ alternative artists\, designers\, educators and organizers using wearables\, textiles and the body as a medium. Their practices span a range of themes –  such as personal identity\, body politics\, cultural history\, sustainability\, craft and technology – but all share roots in critically engaging with fashion. From September 1 – October 15\, we will launch a six week exhibition of Nobody’s Fashion Week\, consisting of an online exhibition\, artist residency\, participatory workshops\, artist talks and other public programming. We want to engage with and empower both emerging designers and everyday people to find fertile spaces to express themselves through clothing and to share their creations.  We believe people of all backgrounds\, sizes and abilities should have agency over their self-expression. We invite anyone to engage in our community and conversations as we collectively redefine the future of fashion.\n \nOur Artists-in-Residents are\nAlyssa Denay Carter\nMoira Williams\nHAUS OF YBA by Nana YaaSerwaah Akuoku \nOur participating artists are   \nAnna Hart Turner\, Elise Putnam\, Eugenia Pigassiou\, Gabrielle Vazquez\, Giana Pilar González\, Gina Goico\, Gustavo Toledo\, Jason Elizondo\, Ji Ae Sohn\, Juliet Johnson\, Iris McCloughan\, Isabel Tamar Hajian\, Karolyn Hatton\, Kristen Leonard\, Magdalyn Segale\, Melo Baby\, Noah Pica\, Patricia Torvalds\, Taz the Tailor\, Tumbler\, Verena Meyer and Yun Ray Chung \n\nNobody’s Fashion Week is co-curated by Lexy Ho-Tai\, Jaime Iglehart\, Dew Igworia-Onwuka and Johanna Schwab. \nAll workshops are free\, though $5-20 suggested donations are very much appreciated. All money donated will go directly to paying the artists facilitating the program (unless otherwise stated). Programs will be recorded and archived online with captions. If you have any access needs (ex. ASL\, Live Captioning\, etc)\, please email us at least one week before the workshop at fashion@fluxfactory.org. Creating a space that is accessible\, safe and inclusive is very important to us!  \nNobody’s Fashion Week is hosted by Flux Factory\, with support from the Ministry for Arts\, Culture the Civil Service and Sport of Austria\, the Austrian Cultural Forum New York\, Bildrecht – Austria`s Collective Management Organisation (CMO) für Visual Arts\, and a generous donation from Joe Castillo.
