SUMMARY:Double Foreign New Zealand Chinese Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:Weekends 12-5 pm \n\n\n\nOctober 22-23 \n\n\n\nOctober 29-30 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn installation by Li-Ming Hu \n\n\n\nPart of the Mama’s Augmented Reality exhibition series\, where artists are asked to create/interpret their mother’s kitchens as they exist in memory with whatever materials they have at their disposal. Curated by Eleni Zaharopolous. \n\n\n\nLi-Ming Hu hails from Aotearoa New Zealand\, where her parents landed in the 70s\, from Singapore and Taiwan\, where their parents in turn\, had fled to from China due to war and other awfulness. Her parents prioritized cultural assimilation\, so she was not taught any of the Chinese languages\, or introduced to many elements of the cultures they were brought up in. This approach extended less to food\, so the kitchen was a place to be (kind-of) Chinese\, to make dishes whose names she could not pronounce\, with ingredients out of packages she could not read\, while also learning to bake out of the Edmonds Cookery Book. \n\n\n\nRSVPs on Facebook on this event

SUMMARY:Flux Treasure Island
DESCRIPTION:Hours:10am-5pm Friday & Weekends \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFlux Treasure Island is an island-wide scavenger hunt\, taking place over Friday October 21 through Sunday October 23. Artworks will be hidden all across Governors Island in secret unexpected locations.  \n\n\n\nStrange nooks\, wooded groves\, long-disused forts: anywhere! \n\n\n\nCryptic clues on a treasure map will guide visitors to their destinations. Works will include site-specific sculpture\, performance\, video\, AR\, and more. They might respond to the local area and its history\, or maybe they will play with viewer’s perceptions. Some pieces will only be visible at certain times\, so everyone’s experience will be different. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, we’ll have performances by different artists. Treasure Island is a bit of a last hurrah before Flux Factory’s collective residency closes at the end of October. \n\n\n\nCome to Flux HQ at 404a Colonels Row and pick up a treasure map. From there\, the island is yours to explore. Remember: unless an artist says otherwise\, look with your eyes\, not so much with your hands! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCurated by Georgia Muenster \n\n\n\nParticipants: \n\n\n\nItala Aguilera\, Sally Beauty Twin\, Ranjit Bhatnagar\, Yen Yen Chou\, Thea Cohen\, Julie Evanoff\, Gui.dance\, Dew Igworia\, Ryan Oskin\, Magnus Pind\, John Pugh XI\, Theda Sandiford\, Sabrina Sims & Jeong Lee\, Zachary Sun\, Hannah Lutz Winkler & Katy Brett\, and Andrew Yoon \n\n\n\nThe Center for Psychic Technology – John Pugh XI  \n\n\n\nRSVPs on Facebook on this event

SUMMARY:Conflict / Resolution
DESCRIPTION:image by Lee Tusman\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAn event at Harvestworks on Governor’s Island\, focusing on sound art and new media works-in-progress from the Flux Factory community. We will consider how being part of a group of socially engaged artists working as a collective contributes to the development of creative technology practices. \n\n\n\nRoopa Vasudevan \n\n\n\n“Slow Response” is an ongoing series in which I laboriously attempt to render working quick response (QR) codes through a variety of materials\, methods\, and configurations. In each code\, I attempt to re-create a process that is typically done within milliseconds by computational systems; the techniques I use take much\, much longer than that.Unlike computer-generated codes — and maybe contrary to the intent of the format — the QR codes I create are fickle\, inconsistent and do not always scan. They also often contain technical imperfections due to distractions\, miscounting/miscalculating\, and other errors that can only be described as human.The series\, as a whole\, addresses the ubiquity of these digital artifacts that never quite seem to fit within everyday life or appeal to our aesthetic standards\, yet have so quickly engendered automatic responses and expectations from those who regularly use mobile devices.  \n\n\n\nimage by Roopa Vasudevan\n\n\n\nDario Mohr \n\n\n\nThis is a recorded conversation regarding the spiritual practices of West Africa that I had with brothers from Nigeria that I traveled across West Africa with. This took place during a personalized tour with Ucomeafrik tour company. It was an honest conversation I had as a First Generation Grenadian\, U.S. citizen\, visiting West Africa (Ghana\, Benin\, Togo and Nigeria) to learn about my Akan and Ga tribal ancestry. I would consider myself agnostic with pantheist beliefs\, and they (Confidence and Evans) practice a version of Christianity with some Vodun beliefs. I struggled to find videos\, podcasts and articles online answering the questions that I had regarding ancestral West African spirituality\, and found this to be an important conversation. My hopes are that it answers some questions and that people of African descent may have but don’t have the opportunity to ask about. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to meet these men and hope that it expands other’s understanding of West African spiritual practices.  \n\n\n\nLee Tusman \n\n\n\nDuring the pandemic I have been creating experimental interactive autobiographical stories presented within game engines\, websites or computer operating systems. These works use my own drawings\, audio recordings and writing\, stitched together with custom software I write that makes them ‘playable’ in a manner similar to a video game in an attempt to create new forms of poesis and personal narrative. Despite my emphasis on writing code\, my background in zinemaking\, collage and electronic music production drive the aesthetic in ways that feel more beholden to DIY arts cultures than the current crop of Machine Learning-driven artworks.In my current body of work I am designing autonomous generative systems to present abstract narratives\, dream diaries\, and new unfolding simulations. In these works\, a story is presented non-linearly. They appear as abstract animated stories where even I the creator are uncertain what may happen next. There is a tension in these two different ways of working between finding new and surprising narratives and the ‘authentic’ and personal\, and a risk of algorithms to produce ‘sameness’ that permeates most AI-driven artworks.  \n\n\n\nAmelia Marzec \n\n\n\nAll That Is Seen And Unseen examines the relationship of queerness and Catholicism within the Central/Eastern European diaspora. It includes a series of sculptures based on roadside shrines\, such that one would find in liminal spaces where people need to feel protected\, like at the edge of a marsh. Ironically\, these are often situated in rural areas of Poland that are present-day LGBT-free zones. The sculptures contain an electronic communication system which broadcasts stories collected from the community. I also include software for projection mapping\, where imagery based on traditional Slavic papercutting techniques is generated and projected onto churches. The images depict women’s bodies\, weapons\, and pre-Christian symbols.  \n\n\n\nHeidi Neilson \n\n\n\nRemote Magnetometer is a quasi-replica of an actual magnetometer scientific instrument on the NOAA-NASA geostationary weather satellite GOES-16. Remote Magnetometer is in a sense paired with the actual magnetometer instrument in near-real time\, expressing here on earth the data collected by the satellite instrument in orbit.The satellites we place in Earth’s orbit are in essence our robot avatars—we experience alien\, deadly\, distant orbital space through their sensor-based eyes\, ears\, and skin. This project is intended to convey the reality and activity of a particular sensor instrument aboard an operational satellite to have a way of directly sensing-by-proxy what it detects: the energy of the Sun and its interaction with the Earth’s protective magnetosphere. The project mission is to inspire an appreciation for infrastructure systems we rely on and the protective nature of Earth as a whole for life. \n\n\n\nimage by Heidi Neilson\n\n\n\nFull artists Bios are here \n\n\n\nRSVPs on Facebook on the event

SUMMARY:September Flux Saturday: Help Wanted!
DESCRIPTION:Performance by Kahori Kamiya 3-5 pmScreening performances by Brendan Fernandes\, and Jevijoe Vitug & Maureen Catbagan as the Abang-guard Duo (Performances will be on loop) 3-5 pmPoetry by Alyssa Andrews\n\n\n\nHelp Wanted! Features the screening of performances by Brendan Fernandes\, and Jevijoe Vitug & Maureen Catbagan as the Abang-guard Duo\, poetry by Alyssa Andrews and in situ performance by Kahori Kamiya. \n\n\n\nThis project explores the invisibility of immigrant domestic workers by analyzing the relationship between dominance and resistance\, their social isolation\, and how they organize in solidarity. How is it possible to reflect on migrant workers as both a commodity and as an essential labor force? Domestic workers are part of an invisible community rejected by society for different reasons\, such as their ethnicity\, and their social and immigration status. This category of work includes but is not limited to nannies\, cleaning services\, direct caretakers\, doormen\, gardeners\, maids\, and security guards\, among other activities. \n\n\n\nHelp Wanted! centers domestic workers and how they fortify themselves in an unjust and unequal system by inciting resistance and solidarity. Domestic workers are the focal point to be seen\, heard\, and appreciated. They are portrayed as a vital element in the labor market.  \n\n\n\nSeptember Flux Thursday is the first of a series of events organized by curator Emireth Herrera\, in which she invites participants to discuss the resilience and empowerment necessary for domestic workers to navigate their roles in a capitalist labor force.  \n\n\n\n3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Performance by Kahori Kamiya  \n\n\n\nKahori Kamiya Performance\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n3:00 – 5:00 pm Screening: Performances by Brendan Fernandes\, and Jevijoe Vitug & Maureen Catbagan as the Abang-guard Duo (Performances will be on loop)  \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBios: \n\n\n\nBrendan Fernandes (b. 1979\, Nairobi\, Kenya) is an internationally recognized Canadian artist  working at the intersection of dance and visual arts.

SUMMARY:August Flux Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Flux Factory hosts Flux Saturdays\, a monthly public program\, on the last Saturday each month through October. August Flux Saturday’s program features the exhibition opening of Julio José Austria\, open studios with Amelia Marzec and Itala Aguilera\, and outdoor performances by Jemila MacEwan\, Jack Helfrich\, Erica Mancini\, Reverend Billy & The Stop Shopping Choir\, Jevijoe Vitug\, and Maureen Catbagan. \n\n\n\nSchedule: \n\n\n\n12-6 pm   Julio José Austria “Woodside Story” exhibition opening \n\n\n\n12-5 pm   Open studios “All That is Seen is Unseen” by Amelia Marzec \n\n\n\n12-5 pm   “Mama’s Augmented Reality” installation open studios with Itala Aguilera \n\n\n\n2-3 pm    “Metamorphic Meditation” performance by Jemila MacEwan\, Erica Mancini\, Jack Helfrich \n\n\n\n3-4 pm     Performance by Reverend Billy of the Stop Shopping Choir  \n\n\n\n4-5 pm     Abang-guard: Life Drawing\, Working Class \n\n\n\nProject Descriptions: \n\n\n\nJulio José Austria’s “Woodside Story” is a storytelling visual project that celebrates the love and relationships of Filipino immigrant couples in their changing neighborhood in Woodside\, Queens. Comprised of paintings\, sound installation\, and videos. Woodside Story is a multi-disciplinary project that focuses on the lives of Filipino immigrant couples in Woodside. Woodside Story is inspired by West Side Story\, an American musical romantic drama that talks about love and the determination to strive above racial prejudice and discrimination. Austria’s work is about the story of immigrants who found love in Woodside\, Queens. Love speaks of romantic relationships and also love as a passionate endeavor for cultural heritage and community in the big city. Designed to support exhibition opportunities for art workers\, this project is part of a curatorial initiative by La Guardia Agency and has been made possible through the New Work Grant from the Queens Council of the Arts. \n\n\n\n“Metamorphic Meditation” builds mythological language into our planet’s rich geological history\, guiding participants into a multi-sensorial soundscape experience as geologically-transformable bodies. ‘Ecomorphic Meditations’ are an ongoing series of performances created by a network of collaborators directed by artist Jemila MacEwan. These meditations facilitate a process of ‘species ego-death’ to release participants from the habits of monospecies thinking extending their experiences of self into that of mollusk\, mushroom\, mineral\, and beyond.  \n\n\n\nOpen Studios: “All That Is Seen And Unseen” by Amelia Marzec examines the relationship of queerness and Catholicism within the social structures of the Polish American diaspora. It considers the history of migrations and occupations in Eastern Europe\, family stories that have gone untold\, and transgressions embedded in pre-Christian cultural practices. The project uses computer generated imagery based on traditional paper cutting techniques for projections\, and includes roadside shrines which contain a functional communication system\, allowing people who are excluded to communicate through the symbolic objects.  \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with itinerant research institute\, The Institute for Diasporic Yearning and Longing (IDYL)\, Mama’s Augmented Reality is a series of installations created by three artists reflecting on their mother’s kitchens. Works will be installed in the first floor kitchen of Flux Factory’s house on Governors Island from August-October. Curated by Eleni Zaharopoulos with participating artists Itala Aguilera\, Abby Cheney\, and Li-Ming Hu. \n\n\n\nThe unstoppable theatricality of Reverend Billy & the Stop Shopping Choir of singing-activists bring audiences of all ages and backgrounds together. A church service with a roof-shaking cry meets a call to action in an ever-evolving survey of personal awareness and responsibility\, rededicating ourselves to the politicizing of survival\, pitting our freedom against the financiers of climate change.  \n\n\n\nAbang-guard duo Maureen Catbagan and Jevijoe Vitug invite Governors Island visitors to drop-in for a life drawing class with museum guards as models. Participants will have an opportunity to develop their drawing and observation skills through examining Abang-guard’s form and uniform\, highlighting the visibility of essential workers. Other workers are welcome to drop by to sit and model. All drawings will be shown at the Flux Factory gallery space and all skill levels are appreciated. Blankets and drawing materials will be provided and the event is free and open to the public.   \n\n\n\nArtist Bios: \n\n\n\nJulio José Austria is a Filipino-American visual artist who lives and works in New York City. His works mainly focused on migration and urbanization which provides a visual portrayal of his profound life experiences and narratives based on his observations and absorption of the environment he is in. His practice includes painting\, mixed media\, video\, and installation. For Governors Island\, Austria conducted interviews of Filipino couples to capture a sense of intimacy and focus on the storytelling part. \n\n\n\nAmelia Marzec is a Brooklyn-based artist focused on rebuilding and engaging with local communications infrastructure to prepare for an uncertain future. Her work has been exhibited at SIGGRAPH\, MIT\, ISEA (Canada)\, University of the Arts Helsinki (Finland)\, ONCE Foundation Contemporary Art Biennial (Spain)\, NODE Forum for Digital Arts Biennial (Germany)\, and is part of the Rhizome ArtBase.

Gallery\, and Columbia University\, a visiting artist at CalArts\, a grantee of the Research Foundation of CUNY\, and a nominee for the World Technology Awards for Art. \n\n\n\nJack\, Jemila\, and Erica have existed in human form for some time\, playing in the realms of visual art\, music\, and multi-media experimentation. Prior to becoming the mortal human bodies they now inhabit the artists existed as mineral particles disperced through geological and atmospheric bodies across the cosmos.  \n\n\n\nReverend Billy and The Stop Shopping Choir have performed all over the world\, on stages and in the streets. Their work lies at the unique intersection between art\, activism and spirit. They are committed environmental activists and have campaigned for 20 years against militarism\, pesticides\, extractive industry and the overwhelming threat of consumerism to the life systems of Earth. In 2016 they opened for Neil Young on his Rebel Content tour and recently attended the COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow. Their highly original content is prescient and moving\, addressing the complexities we all carry with us during this time of climate crisis. \n\n\n\nJevijoe Vitug and Maureen Catbagan met as museum guards and have been collaborating since 2017. As Abang-guard\, they explore the intersections of immigration\, labor\, and visibility. Reflecting on the artistic strategies of the avant-garde\, they infuse personal history and art practice to convey with theoretical humor the complexity and nuances between cultural production\, institutional structures\, and the role of labor. Performance venues include ARoS Museum in Denmark\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Abrons Art Center Amphitheater\, PS 122 Gallery\, Socrates Park\, and Flux Factory.  \n\n\n\nRSVP on Facebook for this event

SUMMARY:Traveling Fountains & Performances
DESCRIPTION:Site-specific installation: Graciela Cassel  \n\n\n\nPerformances: Julia Santoli and Carolina Rivera  \n\n\n\nCurated by Emireth Herrera Valdés \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlux Factory on Governors Island presents Traveling Fountains + Performances\, a site-specific installation by Graciela Cassel\, and performances by Julia Santoli and Carolina Rivera. This show is curated by Emireth Herrera Valdés.  \n\n\n\nConsidering the “fountain” as a symbol of free-flowing energy\, paralleling our human circulatory system\, Traveling Fountains invite the viewer to meditate on the water in different states. Governors Island becomes a reflective scenario where performances by Julia Santoli and Carolina Rivera create a dialogue to reinforce the water’s beautiful transparency and lucidity creating sinuous rhythms and movements.  \n\n\n\nToday\, we witness in awe and despair the dissolving of water’s stoic\, ageless solid state\, our ice caps melting\, a murmur bringing forth a troubled destiny\, a political chore for society to unravel and restore. Traveling Fountains aim to bring awareness of our need to care for our rivers and oceans. Traveling Fountains + Performances conjures nature with the urban space. \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBrief Bios: \n\n\n\nGraciela Cassel was born in Argentina and currently lives in New York. Cassel’s works based on nature\, even all urban\, are presented through a lens of nature. Cassel is a multimedia artist who showed her works at Museo del Barrio\, Sotheby’s Art Institute\, BRAC\, Varis Center at Urban Glass\, Chashama\, and Bienal del Sur in Argentina. Cassel’s videos received numerous international awards. In 2020\, Cassel received a fellowship in the NY Historical Society\, and 2021 a fellowship with Ankhlave and Queens Botanical Garden. \n\n\n\nEmireth Herrera Valdés (b. Saltillo\, Mexico) is an independent curator and writer based in New York City. Herrera’s curatorial and writing practice reflects her commitment to socially-engaged projects and the contextualization of issues of migration\, mobility\, dislocation\, refugees\, and indigenous culture within the development of Latin and American art. Herrera has curated exhibitions at Queens Museum\, Flux Factory in NYC\, the Sinaloa Museum of Art in Mexico\, and the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU. Her articles have been published by Arte Fuse\, Brooklyn Rail\, VISTAS by ISLAA\, and LAR magazine. \n\n\n\nJulia Santoli. Creating immersive and precarious environments with voice\, video\, feedback\, electronics\, psycho-acoustics\, and installation\, Santoli navigates presence\, memory\, and postmemory– memory ruptured by dislocation and inheritance (diaspora)\, mediated only through representation\, projection\, and creation. Santoli has had the honor of being a 2019 Music Resident at Pioneer Works\, a 2019 Asian Cultural Council grantee to Japan researching sound art and spatial practices\, and a 2018 Artist in Residence at Issue Project Room.  \n\n\n\nCarolina Rivera (b. Santiago\, Chile) began her dance training at the Teatro Municipal de Santiago School Ballet. She majored in dance at the University of Chile with High Honors and the Excellence Award. Carolina has performed as a Soloist and as Ensemble in various operas at the renowned Teatro Municipal de Santiago\, Chile.

SUMMARY:Sympoietica: A Grounding and Automatic Drawing Experience
DESCRIPTION:Sympoietica\, by Maureen Catbagan and Sholeh Asgary\, is a participatory performance that creates a space of solace\, recuperation\, and creative expression through our relationship to the earth and its multi-species inhabitants. The audience is invited to participate in a guided soundscape\, movement\, and reflection exercise that connects Governors Island biodiversity and history while expressing their associations through automatic drawing. The performance combines the connective practice of earthing\, the Surrealist technique of automatic drawing\, and feminist theorist Donna Haraway’s concept of sympoiesis or “making- with.” The January 2012 Journal of Environmental Public Health states “reconnection with the Earth’s electrons has been found to promote intriguing physiological changes and subjective reports of well-being. Earthing (or grounding) refers to the discovery of benefits—including better sleep and reduced pain—from walking barefoot outside or sitting…transferring the Earth’s electrons from the ground into the body. Sympoiesis or “making-with” is the concept that things do not create themselves but develop through dynamic interrelations. Through sound\, movement\, and reflection\, the performance generates a collaboration between bodies\, place\, and other living things that center systems of care\, embodied knowledge\, and collective well-being. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSympoietica is made possible by the New York Foundation for the Arts’ #CityArtistCorps Grants. Special thanks to @nyfacurrent\, @NYCulture\, @madein_ny\, and @queenstheatre.\n\n\n\nMaureen Catbagan is a Filipinx American\, multi-media artist based in New York whose work engages social collectivity\, examines relations between identity and experience\, and explores new forms of empowerment. Collaborative projects include Object II Body (with artist IV Castellanos)\, Abang-guard Duo (with artist Jevijoe Vitug)\, Flux Factory\, and HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN?. They have also written critical essays with Dr. Amber Jamilla Musser. Catbagan has exhibited in venues such as ARoS Museum in Denmark\, Witte de Withe Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam\, Whitney Museum of American Art in New York\, and The Contemporary Museum of Honolulu.\n\n\n\nSholeh Asgary is an Iranian-born interdisciplinary sound artist who creates immersive works\, performances and audience participatory scores with interest in liminal spaces experienced by the viewer-participant. Asgary’s current and recent residencies as of 2020 include Real Time & Space\, Headlands Center for the Arts\, Mass MoCA\, ARoS Art Museum\, Wassaic Project\, and Arab.AMP. Her work has been exhibited and screened at Sotheby’s Institute of Art\, Minnesota Street Project\, Gray Area Center for the Arts\, Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Charlotte Street Foundation\, Soundwave Biennial\, Wassaic Project\, and Krowswork\, amongst others. She has also performed as a solo artist\, collaborated\, or created compositions for many of these institutions\, including CounterPulse\, Center for Cultural Studies at University of Santa Cruz\, Kulturmødet Mors\, Mødet Mors\, Aggregate Space Gallery\, and SOMArts. Asgary is a 2020/21 California Arts Council grantee for her workshop series “Majles” created in partnership with with Arab.AMP\, a 2019 Kenneth Rainin Foundation New Project Grant recipient through Dance Elixir\, and recipient of a 2014 Alternative Exposure Grant for curatorial initiatives as Curator and Director of Education and Public Programs at Incline Gallery\, where she founded The Project Room.

SUMMARY:Mini Painting Workshop with Teng Teng at Flux Saturday
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP via WithFriends. \nYou’ll have a unique chance to create a miniature painting on a gold-plated frame to bring home with you to wear as jewelry or display as art. After you arrive\, Teng Teng will give you hands-on instruction on how to paint using the tiniest paint brush you’ve ever seen. This event is totally free. \nTeng Teng will provide picture books and reference pictures to give you inspiration. All materials will be provided and no previous painting experience is required. You don’t need to bring anything since all the workshop supplies are provided! \nLocation: Outdoors at Colonels Row House 404A on Governors Island \nAbout the Facilitator:\nTeng Teng is an artist who was born in China. Teng Teng’s diverse practice (painting\, installation\, performance art\, art education etc.) focuses on the integration of art and ordinary people’s daily life and healing others. She has been recording stories in small frames of my own design. These can be hung on a wall or worn on the body\, creating a close relationship to the person who wears it. She has sewn the paintings into her clothes and strolled around the city\, hoping that the color brings a bit more warmth to the world. Over the past few years she has hosted over 100 workshops around the world to teach people how to draw tiny paintings. \nAccess Notes:\nInformation about Accessibility on Governors Island can be found here.

SUMMARY:Book Release: History of Solar Power Art
DESCRIPTION:Alex Nathanson will be celebrating the release of his new book A History of Solar Power Art and Design. He will be joined by NYC-based artists and designers working with solar power whose work is featured in the book\, including Ted Victoria and Benedetta Piantella. \nThe book\, which was recently published by Routledge\, examines the history of creative applications of photovoltaic (PV) solar power\, including sound art\, wearable technology\, public art\, industrial design\, digital media\, building integrated design\, and many others. \nThe growth in artists and designers incorporating solar power into their work reflects broader social\, economic\, and political events. As the cost of PV cells has come down\, they have become more accessible and have found their way into a growing range of design applications and artistic practices. As climate change continues to transform our environment and becomes a greater public concern\, the importance of integrating sustainable energy technologies into our culture grows as well. \nThe book is available directly from publisher and most book retailers. Use code FLY21 for a 20% discount when ordering directly from the publisher. \nAlex Nathanson is a multimedia artist\, designer\, technologist\, and educator. His work is primarily focused on exploring both the experimental and practical applications of sustainable energy technologies\, particularly photovoltaic solar power. His work has been featured at Issue Project Room (NYC)\, the Museum of the Moving Image (NYC)\, Anthology Film Archives (NYC)\, Film Society of Lincoln Center (NYC)\, Dome of Visions (Copenhagen\, Denmark)\, and the Art Prospect Festival (St. Petersburg\, Russia). He was one of the long-term artists in residence at Flux Factory\, in Queens\, NY from 2012 to 2016\, and his multi-media performance group Fan Letters was awarded residencies at The Watermill Center in 2017 and 2019. Solar Protocol\, a collaboration with Tega Brain and Benedetta Piantella\, was awarded a fellowship at Eyebeam in 2020. As a solar power designer\, he has created interactive and educational projects for The Climate Museum\, Peabody Essex Museum\, Solar One\, and the NYC Department of Education\, among others. Most recently\, his book A History of Solar Power Art and Design was published by Routledge. (https://alexnathanson.com)
