SUMMARY:Migration in Transition: Residency Exhibition by Open Place
DESCRIPTION:Migration in Transition\nNovember 15 – 20th\nRSVP on Facebook \nOpening + Curator’s Tour\, November 15\, 6 – 9pm\nClosing Reception\, November 20th\, 6pm – 9pm\nOpen Hours: Saturday\, Sunday and Monday 1pm – 6pm\, Tuesday 1pm – 9pm\n \nExhibition\, workshops and events by the Ukrainian collaborative duo Open Place \n\nThe exhibition Migration in Transition presents two volumes of research: Fresh Market Archive and a publication titled SOURCE. An archive is a kind of mélange – a mixing of various narratives and social compounds. Open Place has been collecting stories determined by the themes of emigration\, violations of employee and human rights\, patriarchal control over women\, xenophobia\, self-identification and identity\, and other precarious conditions. The publication SOURCE is a collection of interviews of people and groups who are actively challenging the political status-quo regarding the status of marginalized people and other difficult political issues\, and who have visions of proactive tactics on how to address them. \nThe works in Migration in Transition include materials gathered from Open Place’s international research as well as stories collected during their residence at Flux Factory. \nMigration and challenges that arise because of migration\, was the starting point of Open Place’s research. They began to understand migration as a process of transition\, which is fundamental to so much of contemporary life. People migrate between identities\, countries\, languages\, economic realities\, genders\, political beliefs\, contexts. Migration in Transition is an attempt to build bridges through disparate experiences\, and create a source of trust and solidarity. Migration in Transition is a collaborative environment and the place for reflection. \nThe goal of Migration in Transition is to record diverse experiences in one expansive text\, and to create a political and social document collectively. This exhibition presents Open Place’s ongoing goal to bring together different perspectives into a universal message\, offering strategies and tactics that we can all access. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by workshops and discussion. Full schedule will coming soon. \nOpen Place Bio\nIn 1999 Yuriy Kruchak and Iuliia Kosterieva organized the artistic platform Open Place. It is directed to extension of creative research and to establishment of the links between art process and the different layers of modern society. Art is understood as a space of intersections of artistic social and political processes. The platform seeks to provide both the artist and the viewer with a specific form of equality and liberation. Open Place strive to extend the borders of influence of art\, and to engage the new groups of people to creative process\, through the interdisciplinary projects\, as well as to establish a fruitful dialogue between society and those who creates art.\n\nwww.openplace.com.ua

SUMMARY:Pintados: Portraits of Immigrants as Ancestors\, by Jevijoe Vitug
DESCRIPTION:Pintados: Portraits of Immigrants as Ancestors\, Solo Exhibition by Jevijoe Vitug\nGallery hours: \nNoon – 6pm\, July 5th – 9th \nRSVP on Facebook \nOpening Reception Programming\n– A flag raising ceremony addressing decolonization\, immigration and human rights\, part of the series Air Rights\, curated by Christina Freeman\n\n-A one-night only performance titled “We are still in Cages but We will Entertain you!\,” a multi-genre project by Jevijoe Vitug in collaboration with New York based Filipinx electronic rock duo\, Turbo Goth.\n~~~ \nThis exhibition presents a new body of work by Philippine-born\, New York based artist Jevijoe Vitug. His paintings portray immigrants from the Philippines\, reinventing themselves as indigenous ancestors of Southeast Asia also known as Austronesian people. Pintados\, meaning “the painted ones\,” was a term used by Spanish colonists to describe indigenous Austronesians with tattooed bodies\, common before the European colonization of Southeast Asia. \nThe artist is absorbed with the concept of “pintados” as both indigenous mark making and a painting technique similar to cross-hatching\, in which marking an area with two or more intersecting series of lines create tones and values. \nBeing a first generation immigrant in the US\, and separated from his family and immediate relatives\, the artist paints portraits of his migrant friends who mostly live and work in New York City\, with whom he finds comfort in a shared experience and struggle. Wearing urban clothing\, layered with indigenous designs\, the portraits mirror indigenous stances found in photographic images of Austronesians. The artist reclaims historical images by proposing a possible future. the images no longer bound by a particular time and place. \n \nVitug’s exhibition also includes one history painting entitled “Filipinx at Dreamland” refering to the indigenous ancestors that were taken from hte Philippines and caged in a “human zoo” at Coney Island in the early 20th century. \nThis is second solo show by Jevijoe Vitug at Flux Factory. Vitug studied at St. Scholastica’s College\, Philippines (BFA 1998) and San Francisco Art Institute\, USA (MFA 2015). In 2018 his work is included in various exhibitions\, including the Flux Factory Residency at ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum\, Denmark; S.T.E.P. curated by Christina Freeman\, Moira Williams and Emireth Herrera at the Queens Museum\, NY. Vitug is also part of a collaborative duo with Maureen Catbagan called “The Abangguard” whose work explores themes of immigration\, labor and visibility within art institutions. \nTurbo Goth is a NYC based\, electronic rock duo from the Philippines. Formed in 2008 by Sarah Gaugler (on lead vocals) and Paolo Peralta (on guitar/electronic sampler)\, Turbo Goth has had numerous performances in numerous venues all over the Philippines and performed at a handful of Music Festivals in Asia. After Turbo Goth’s performance atSouth by Southwest in 2014\, they decided to relocate\, to apprehend a broader audience\, finding a new home in New York by the end of that year.

SUMMARY:“ ”(quote\, unquote) with Wieteke Heldens
DESCRIPTION:June 13th – 17th \nWieteke Heldens will use the gallery of Flux Factory to do work on her current project : “ ” (quote\, unquote). The gallery will open to the public who wants to collaborate in her artistic research for subconscious art and graffiti removal. Visitors are invited to put graffiti on the gallery walls\, this will be erased by painting over it. \n\n“Quote\, to repeat the words that someone else has said or written.” Cambridge Dictionary \n“Collaborate\, 1: Work jointly on an activity or project\, 2: Cooperate traitorously with an enemy.”(Oxford\nDictionaries) \n“Artistic research\, also seen as ‘practice-based research’\, can take form when creative works are\nconsidered both the research and the object of research itself. It is the debatable body of thought\nwhich offers an alternative to purely scientific methods in research in its search for knowledge and\ntruth.” (Wikipedia) \n“Subconscious art- a product of artistic merit that was created without conscious artistic\nintentions” (The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal\, USA\, 2001\, 16 min\,) \n“Graffiti removal- the act of erasing graffiti by painting over it” (The Subconscious Art of Graffiti\nRemoval\, USA\, 2001\, 16 min) \n“Graffiti (plural of graffito: “a graffito”\, but “these graffiti”) are writing or drawings that have been\nscribbled\, scratched\, or painted\, typically illicitly\, on a wall or other surface\, often within public view.\nGraffiti range from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings\, and they have existed since\nancient times\, with examples dating back to Ancient Egypt\, Ancient Greece\, and the Roman\nEmpire.” (Wikipedia)\n \nThis project is realized thanks to the generous support of the Mondriaan Fund.

SUMMARY:Impulse: Solo Exhibition by Amir Badawi
DESCRIPTION:June 1-5\, 2018\nOpening Reception:  Friday\, June 1st\, 7-10 pm\nGallery Hours: 12-4 pm \nRSVP on Facebook \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFor his inaugural solo exhibition in New York\, Amir Badawi fills the gallery with colorful metal wire installations\, stone sculptures\, ink drawings\, useless lists\, and pulsing beacons of light.  These works are the result of intuitive improvisation and Badawi’s latent obsession with iterative processes and repetitive patterns.  Focusing on the natural form of kinetic curves and methodical nonsense this show engages viewers in a playful yet suspicious way.  Will this wire come loose and poke my eye out?  Is it really ok to touch this?  Does anything in the universe have meaning?  Maybe!  Either way there will be beer.

SUMMARY:Resilience: A Sonic Tribute to the Queer History of Club Music
DESCRIPTION:RESILIENCE: A Sonic Tribute to the Queer History of Club Music\nThursday\, May 24th – Sunday\, May 27th  \nOpening\, 7pm\, May 24th\nFlux on the Floor\, 9pm May 25th\nOpen Studio\, 2pm – 8pm\, May 26th\nArtist Talk\, 2pm May 27th\nRSVP here  \n \n  \n  \nJess Dilday\, Flux Factory artist-in-residence also known as their DJ/producer persona PlayPlay\, will debut their ongoing soundscape project exploring the queer history of electronic club music\, starting from early disco and ending at the underground club scenes of today. In this early reveal of a much bigger project\, PlayPlay is hoping to gain feedback\, find potential collaborators\, and compile conversations and stories from people who have been a part of the NYC nightclub scene for years. \nNightclubs\, since even before the days of early disco\, were created to provide safe(r) spaces for escape\, freedom\, & debauchery – particularly for Black & Latinx LGBTQ clubgoers who constantly face dangerous situations outside of the nightclub. Over the years\, white cis heterosexual men have taken electronic music and capitalized on it\, eventually bringing it into the mainstream under the hyperbrand “EDM.”  Nevertheless\, queer underground music scenes have consistently persisted and continue to thrive\, creatively pushing music in ways that are years ahead of the mainstream (much like the queer impact on visual arts & fashion). The installation attempts to address this resilience sonically\, weaving together club music from past to present\, sound bytes from clubgoers\, & subliminal sonic textures to juxtapose the fantasy & danger ever-present throughout the history of club music.  \nThis installation opens at 7pm on Thursday evening\, May 24th\, with an artist talk by PlayPlay\, as well as an open call for public discussion on the role club spaces have played in people’s lives\, audience memories of attending clubs over the years in NYC (and beyond)\, and how nightclubs can serve as sacred spaces for attendees\, particularly for queer and trans people of color. PlayPlay will also be compiling a giant “best of” playlist where people can write their favorite nightclub tracks\, the ones where you completely lose yourself in the moment. \nOn Friday the 25th\, Flux Factory will host a giant dance party from 9pm-1am benefitting their upcoming group residency at ARoS Public (Denmark). Flux Factory resident DJs Vinyl Richie and Sponsored Lynx will join PlayPlay in providing a continuous mix of club music\, from early disco to current underground club music staples. This party will serve as a live expansion on the installation theme in which everyone can get free on the dancefloor. \nOn Saturday the 26th\, PlayPlay will fine-tune their soundscape in an open studio format\, inviting feedback\, commentary\, and spontaneous dancing throughout the day. \nFinally\, on Sunday the 27th\, the installation will close out with an afternoon artist talk and reflection at 2pm\, inviting final feedback and discussion about potential next steps for this project. And then\, you guessed it\, a dance party 🙂

SUMMARY:An Obscure Silhouette: Solo Exhibition by Po-Yen Wang
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception\n Friday\, May 18\, 7pm – 10pm \nGallery Open Hours\n  May 19 – 20\, noon – 4 pm or by appointment \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAn Obscure Silhouette is a solo exhibition by Po-Yen Wang. It brings together a body of work exploring the multi-layered identity within a person\, incorporating video\, installation and sculpture. ‘Six Excerpts from a Journal’ juxtaposes outer space imagery and a monologue addressing the relationship between Taiwan and the US weaved with personal narratives. ‘Crossing’ utilizes the interior of rooms as a metaphor to illustrate an immigrant’s mindset in two different time zones. ‘A Fabricated Personal Archive’ manipulates childhood imagery found on the Internet to question the relationship between human memory and digital archive. ‘Construction of Intimacy’ seeks to expose the fragility of a digital portrait yet consolidate it with the physical self. \nPo-Yen Wang is a visual artist living and working between New York and Taiwan. His art practice primarily takes the form of video and installation\, creating an immersive environment to evoke the viewers’ emotions and imaginations. His work usually derives from a personal experience and then evolves into a broad research of the people or place he is associated with\, in order to explore the collective history and memory. Using digital media especially moving images and 3D animation as primary medium\, he is concerned about how complex and intricate our identities are under the influence of digital culture and globalization; how we perceive outside world and our own existence in an age when our bodies are extended by advancing technology and our perceptions of reality are deeply intertwined with the cinematic. \nWebsite: www.poyenwang.com \n  \n\n

The world where your inner child goes to when it’s been lost…\n RSVP on Facebook\n  \n\n\nThis world is manifested in the form of creatures\, called KOOKERS\, that playfully roam around New York City (and beyond)\, unaware of the social constructs we have created. Their large scale\, bright colours\, and outlandish demeanour create spontaneous moments of joy\, human connection\, and social disruption through play and absurdity\, breaking people from their daily routines. Recent additions to this world are wearable landscapes and playful puppets. Laboriously and lovingly crafted from found and recycled materials\, this body of work explores the intersection between craft and play\, art and accessibility.  \nCreator\, Lexy Ho-Tai\, invites you to not only enter this evolving world\, but to create and contribute to it. Tap into your inner child! There will be materials available and workshops throughout the weekend. Explore with your hands! Kreate a Kooker! Paint on the wall! Play and express! (Even if you’re “not an artist”.) This is an evolving space. Everyone that enters the world will add to it. \n \n\nThis is a family-friendly weekend. Feel free to bring recycled materials to repurpose and contribute to the space. If you have ideas for a workshop you would like to share\, please email Lexy at lexyhotai@gmail.com.\n \nKOOKERVILLE serves as a temporary escape – a world of healing through joy\, colour\, imagination and expression\, made with immense care and love. Alternative worlds provide opportunities to re-evaluate the world around us\, and imagine new possibilities\, albeit absurd or kooky. \n\nLet’s build KOOKERVILLE — together!\n \n\nSaturday: \n1-3pm:  Finding Sanctuary: Collaborative Zine Making and Dimensional Collage with Duneska Michel and Johanna Castillo\n3-6pm: Learn to Macrame with Margo Isadora\n5-7pm: Sense Motion: Moving Meditation with Ana Lopez P\nAll Day: Picalø: Unconventional Weaving Sculptures with Johanna Castillo\n \nSunday: \n1-4pm: Pom Pom Party with Karyn Lao\n2:30-4pm: Pop N Play (Popping: a Robotic Dance) with Sunwoo Park\n4 – 6pm: Mark-Making and Material Exploration with Stephanie Hazlewood and Lexy Ho-Tai\n\nAll Day: Picalø: Unconventional Weaving Sculptures with Johanna Castillo\n\n \n*Find out more information about each workshop on the Facebook event page or follow @lexymakesthings on Instagram\n*All workshops are free and materials are included! \n\n

SUMMARY:The Art of DJ'ing w PlayPlay and Vinyl Richie
DESCRIPTION:The Art of DJ’ing w PlayPlay and Vinyl Richie\nApril 11th\n7pm – 9pm \nIn this introduction to DJ’ing\, Jess Dilday (PlayPlay) & Richie Nathanial (Vinyl Richie) will go over various techniques DJs use both to create a seamless musical journey and to provide a fresh performance\, such as blending\, scratching\, and beat juggling. The second part of the workshop will involve PlayPlay & Vinyl Richie performing a short DJ set on turntables and a controller\, and then inviting attendees to try it out for themselves.   \n\nMore about PlayPlay\n\nPlayPlay is a NYC-based DJ\, producer\, party organizer\, professor\, and all around music ne\nrd. As both a DJ and producer\, PlayPlay combines brand new percussion-forward club sounds with nostalgic classics. Their music is inspired by what they grew up listening to: acid house\, industrial\, jungle\, breakbeat hardcore\, Baltimore club\, jock jams\, 90s club anthems and 80s new wave. In their hardware sets\, PlayPlay uses Moog synthesizers to create everything from unearthly drones to high-energy acid/industrial sounds. \nPlayPlay has been teaching DJ’ing and music production through the music department at UNC-Chapel Hill. They are especially invested in mentoring women and gender non-conforming DJs & producers\, and have hosted multiple workshops with this aim – most recently at Moogfest. They have recently moved to NYC to join a 6 month artist-residency at Flux Factory. Here\, they will be creating an interactive soundscape installation using synthesizers\, recorded samples\, and other sonic tools. \n\nContact: djplayplay.com // booking@djplayplay.com\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DJPlayPlay/ // Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/dj-playplay // Bandcamp: https://playplay.bandcamp.com/ // Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/playplayyy // Twitter: https://twitter.com/DJPlayPlay\n\n \n \nMore about\nVinyl Richie\n \nBronx native Richard (DJ Vinyl Ri\n\nchie/ Yovinyl) got his taste for music at a young age listening to records in the house and around the parties in his neighborhood. Richard’s main DJ influences were local New York radio DJs and DMC VHS tapes. Richie’s DJ technique involves using creative mixing and turntablism while performing. When he is not controlling a crowd he is creating and curating sound projects with his new group DotCrawL. \n\n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yovinylrichie/ // Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/yovinyl\nContact:  yovinyl@gmail.com

SUMMARY:avoid romanticizing the landscape
DESCRIPTION:avoid romanticizing the landscape:\nan immersive installation by illesha Khandelwal\nopening reception: friday\, march 23rd \, 7-9pm\nopen gallery hours: saturday & sunday\, 24th – 25th march noon-6pm \nRSVP on Facebook \nillesha Khandelwal (b. 1995\, Mumbai\, India) lives and works between Queens\, NY and Mumbai\, India. Her work suggests a kind of psychology of geography – an unfixed landscape that you alter by your very presence. Is experiencing someone’s memory of a place the same as physically being there? Which is more real? She is interested in the way the absence of a place becomes a presence\, and suggesting what this may look like in the multiverse. At a time of global uncertainty\, a flood of heartache: she fabricates a phenomenological world\, constantly in flux. The work urges you to surrender your senses to the unknowable\, build an intimacy with distant places\, and develop a tangible relationship with the photograph. \nthere is a certain consciousness\, a momentous and fragmented state of being\, which the landscape rouses. this awareness is concentrated in intensely sensuous junctures. it allows an unprecedented\, and highly personal engagement with the individual life-world. at times it seeps so far into our fissures that we fracture. this breakage uncovers naïve strata below\, and so the process continues. \nFabric\, paper\, clay and text take on the appearance of floating in an installation of threads. This is a world of fictional objects and memories\, entangled with the factual\, blurring the separations between what is experienced and what is imagined. The objects are built like thoughts in their fluidity and fickleness. The materials breathe\, they move\, and your very presence changes them. \nYou will be pulled into a murky remembrance; perhaps some dusty flashback of a lover long gone\, or a lingering dream of your bare feet sunk in sand. You have entered a world where rock is soft\, and vulnerability is strength. The land is abraded\, it reforms. So do I. The slow fragmentation\, the heartbreak\, it is the same. We fall apart\, we come together. \n@illesha\nwww.illesha.com\n#illeshakstudio #illeshakinflux

SUMMARY:Nothing Personal - Solo Exhibition by Kyung-jin Kim 
DESCRIPTION:Solo Exhibition by Artist-in-Residence Kyung-jin Kim \n \nOpening reception\nFebruary 1st 7pm – 10pm \nGallery Open Hours\nFriday\, February 2nd\, Noon – 6pm\nSaturday and Sunday\, February 3rd – 4th\, noon – 4pm\nMonday\, February 5th\, Noon – 6pm \nRSVP on Facebook \nKyung-jin Kim (b. South Korea) is a process-oriented artist. He utilizes diverse media to approach the substance of liminality inherent to dislocation\, translation and adjustment. His method looks to scattered encounters with networks and systems of data\, and to how this experience shifts with proximity\, as well as the motions and elisions of one’s memory. Kyung-jin intentionally misuses existing virtual representation\, translation and surveillance technology to measure the blindspot between information and subjective understandings. Through sculpture and models\, video projections\, and interactive sound installations\, he inducts a sense of what cannot be known through palpable lapse and void. \n \n‘Nothing Personal’ is an interactive installation where the voice and position matters. In this built environment\, every component influences its surroundings. The project focuses on how we communicate and highlights the areas in which nuance is blurred and communication and intention break down. The devices change their environment depending on the participant and the participant’s physical position in the space. \nThe sounds you make and the conversations you have will be picked up\, amplified and transformed into a visual realm. The sense of private and public boundaries will be blurry and blended together playing with notions of an ideal equilibrium.  \nDuring the show\, sound-triggered tools will be open to the public to use freely as an open mic.  \nwebsite: www.kyung-jin.com

SUMMARY:(Re) mnants - Solo exhibition by Muse Dodd
DESCRIPTION:Schedule of Events \nJanuary 11th\, Thursday\nFlux Thursday: Performances by Illesha Khandelwal and Muse of Fire\, Traditional Louisiana style Seafood Gumbo made by my Grandma Shirley\, and quilt made by Zeelie Brown. \nJanuary 12th Friday\nOpening & Film Screening\n7pm – 9pm \nJanuary 13th\, Saturday\nGallery hours 1pm-6pm \nJanuary 14th\, Sunday\nGallery hours 12pm -3pm\nArtist talk moderated by Atlanta based curator Martina Dodd & closing party 6pm \nPlease RSVP on Facebook \n(Re) mnants is an interactive digital media installation\, chronicling visual artist and filmmaker Monique Muse Dodd’s journey into her ancestral and spiritual heritage. \n(Re) mnants is a conscious act of (Re) membering\, (Re) imagining\, and (Re) vering those who have come before us and still walk among us. \nAsking the questions “how do you remember\, and what do you choose to forget?” Muse pulls from African American quilt making traditions to use scraps of knowledge and traces of remembrance to fashion a clearer picture of her familial past/legacy. After tracing her lineage through a popular DNA testing site\, Muse was faced with the reality that ancestry is more than percentages\, and that although much of her ancestor’s stories were engulfed by the tumultuous tides of the Transatlantic slave trade\, their memories live within her. \n(Re) mnants is as much a film as it is a ritual. It is an ongoing preformative ritual of communing with ancestors\, whose names she doesn’t know\, yet whose spirits hold an everlasting influence on her life and artistic process. Utilizing video\, soundscape\, and projection mapping\, Muse refashions her family history to create a portal for participants to cross the boundary between the imagined and the biographical\, the physical and the spiritual\, the living and the ancestors. \n(Re)mnants is a memorial and a rebirth\, join as she opens a portal into the ethereal. \nPlease RSVP on Facebook\nwww.musefilms.co
