SUMMARY:Anahita\, the water’s revenge: Solo Exhibition by Sholeh Asgary
DESCRIPTION:Anahita\, the Water’s Revenge\n \nRSVP on the Facebook.\nFlux Gallery\, this location is wheelchair accessible \n  \n\nExhibition dates: February 22 – 24\n\n\nGallery hours: \n\n\nFriday\, Saturday\, Sunday 1-6 pm\n\n\nFriday and Sunday event hours 6-10pm\nor by appointment email sholehasgary@gmail.com\n\n\n\n\nOpening Reception:\nFriday February 22\, 6-10 pm\n“Earth’s Mouth” performance by Dew Igworia\ndj XspiritMental with a performance by Spiritchild \n\n\nClosing Reception: \n\n\nSunday February 24\, 6-10 pm\n\n\nmusic and sound performances by Sholeh Asgary and Saint Abdullah\nperformances by Jevijoe Vitug Theabangguard and KS Brewer\n\n\nofferings by Nova Scott-James\n\n\nadditional guests TBA\n\n\nAnahita\, is an ancient pre-Zoroastrian goddess of water from the Persian region. She has been diluted and adapted over time\, from empire to empire. What if water determined time instead of the clock? Anahita makes her return\, her known and forgotten qualities imagined as an installation of media\, sculpture and light. Working with Light as a medium\, is as close as one can come to traveling back through time. This is Anahita’s revenge against the mechanical apparatus of time\, the opening where she and memory meet to reconstruct a new story of travel and representation.\n\nSholeh Asgary is an Iranian-American multidisciplinary artist who references lens based media through sculpture\, painting\, installation and sound. Born in 1982 in Tehran\, she began crossing borders at 6 months old\, when her parents had to flee Iran to seek political refugee status. She spent the first few years of her life seeking asylum in various countries before accepted in the United States. Asgary earned her BA\, with a focus on photography and painting\, from San Francisco State University in 2007\, studied at the Accademia di belli Arti in Florence\, Italy in 2004\, and received an MFA in studio arts from Mills College in 2011. Her work has been shown in galleries and institutions internationally; Asgary’s sound work has been released by independent artist label: Cutty Strange Records\, has guest performed for experimental composer CTRL Z at Stanford University and Mills College in 2017\, and was a featured artist at the 2018 SoundWave Biennial. Asgary was a recipient of the 2014 Alternative Exposure Grant (Andy Warhol Foundation) for her programming initiatives\, when she was Curator/Director of Education/Public Programs at Incline Gallery (San Francisco)\, and where she founded The Project Room. She lives and works in Oakland\, where she is a photography professor at several Bay Area universities. She is a past resident of Krowswork (2016) and workshop participant of Guillermo Gomez-Peña’s La Pocha Nostra at SOMArts (2018)\, a current artist-in-residence at Flux Factory in Long Island City\, NY\, and resident at Wassaic Project (2019).\n

SUMMARY:Music Production For Everyone with PlayPlay
DESCRIPTION:Music Production For Everyone with PlayPlay \nSat February 2nd\n2pm-4pm\nFlux Gallery\, this location is wheelchair accessible \n\nShare the event on FB\nTo RSVP\, please email jadilday@gmail.com \nThe idea of being a music producer is often intimidating – who has money for a studio with a giant mixing board\, a sound-treated room and even the top software costs more than PlayPlay’s car. But there are ways to make music for free using just a laptop. In this two hour hands-on music production workshop\, PlayPlay will teach attendees how to make rhythms using just a laptop and a free web-based music making program\, Soundtrap. Expect to learn basic music production theory\, how to utilize loops\, how to make beats from scratch\, and how to arrange the elements of a song in a cohesive way. \nAttendees should bring a laptop with the Google Chrome browser installed if they want to participate in the hands-on portion\, but everyone is welcome to listen in! \nMore about PlayPlay \nPlayPlay is a DJ\, producer\, music scholar and activist interested in local music scenes\, dance floor dynamics\, queer theory\, and media studies. They have been teaching DJ’ing and music production for several years\, most recently through the UNC-Chapel Hill Music Department and Building Beats (NYC). With a particular investment in mentoring women and gender non-conforming DJs / producers\, PlayPlay has held workshops at festivals such as Moogfest\, for organizations such as Girls Rock NC\, and at various colleges & universities. A long-term artist-in-residence at Flux\, PlayPlay debuted their soundscape installation this past year\, focusing on the history of club music. In 2018\, they released music on labels such as Knightwerk Records\, Cybersonic LA\, and Worst Behavior Records\, and have two EPs scheduled for release this year.

DESCRIPTION:a cabin in the woods\, emanating electronic music…\na new sound installation by daniel fishkin\n\nFlux Gallery\, this location is wheelchair accessible\n\nSaturday\, January 26th\n7pm in the Flux Gallery\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCal Fish\nKwami Winfield\nAnastasia Clarke\nMallie Sanford\n\n\n  \n\nThis concert is played alongside the Installation Radio Shack\, a new sound installation by Daniel Fiskin\n\nJanuary 25th – 27th \ngallery hours: January 25th – 27th\, 1pm – 6pm\n\n\n  \nDaniel Fishkin’s ears are ringing. Composer\, sound artist\, and instrument builder. Completely ambivalent about music. Daniel studied with composer Maryanne Amacher and with multi-instrumentalist Mark Stewart. He has performed as a soloist on modular synthesizer with the American Symphony Orchestra\, developed sound installations in abandoned concert halls\, and played innumerable basement punk shows. Daniel’s lifework investigating the aesthetics of hearing damage has received international press (Nature Journal\, 2014); as an ally in the search for a cure\, he has been awarded the title of “tinnitus ambassador” by the Deutsche Tinnitus-Stiftung. Recent activities include Composing the Tinnitus Suites: 2016\, a concert series about hearing damage\, taking place in Philadelphia\, PA\, supported by a Project Grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. Daniel received his MA in Music Composition from Wesleyan University\, has taught analog synthesis at Bard College. After a stint working toward his PhD at University of California\, San Diego\, Daniel returned to the East Coast\, and now lives in Queens\, NY.\n  \n\nAnastasia Clarke is a composer\, performer\, and sound engineer focusing on live embodied electronic music performance. Anastasia’s solo and collaborative projects serve as sites for research and meaning-making. Anastasia’s sound works have been premiered at MoMA PS1\, The Film Society of Lincoln Center\, HERE Arts\, Triskelion\, and Incubator Arts Project. Anastasia studied Electronic Music and Recording Media at Mills College. \n \n\nCal Fish (collaborators TBA) Living in different parts of New York my whole life\, I have been working to assert art as a necessarily productive social container and sound as a medium for communication with latent potential. Media ecology and acoustic ecology have been at the center of my text studies while I have practiced with interactive sound sculpture\, social scores\, and group movement. I have been involved in DIY art/music organizing around the U.S. and internationally for about six years. In current projects I have been focusing on making a specific place/community’s relationships between public space\, ecology\, and empathy audible through dynamic collaboration.\nMallie Sanford acknowledges and examines their body dysphoria\, hoarding tendencies\, andtoxic behaviors displayed in personal relationships through the use of fabric\, video\, performance and sound. The work represents the intense emotion emitted when making the work\, and the attempt to make the body and mind function as a genderless form. \n\n\n\n\nKwami Winfield\nThe trumpet indexes many things: the call of battle\, the cry of freedom\, the cool. By sight\, sound\, and (recently) by name\, it carries markedly varied significance. The trumpet is an amplifier. Human energy vibrates a column of air inside of the instrument and resonates in particular pitches. An amplifier takes an input signal and outputs a much louder signal with some degree of distortion or saturation\, the trumpet produces a harmonic distortion of the input signal. The trumpet is a machine with discreet and insular mechanics that are hidden to the eye but are vital to the sound product. My engagement with music and sound is not focused on the sound product\, but the process and prosody of musical play.

SUMMARY:Auto-Pilot: Solo exhibition by Paddy O'Dwyer
DESCRIPTION:Auto-Pilot\nPlease join us for Paddy O’Dwyer’s first solo exhibition.\n\n\nOpening Reception:\nFriday\, January 18th\, 6pm – 8pm\nArtist talk at 7pm\n  \nGallery Hours: \nSaturday\, January 19th\n1pm – 6pm\nSunday\, January 20th\, noon – 4pm\n\n  \nArtist Statement\nLiving in N.Y the past year and having the privilege to intern at Flux Factory has forced me to examine my own cultural identity.  I use imagery from from my surroundings\, life experience and media sources. The title is a reference to the collective conscience. In this case the theme of nationalism has informed the visual possibilities.\n“(nationalism)…is it an escapist indulgence that may doom human kind and the whole bio-sphere?”\n-Yoval N. Harrari

SUMMARY:Flux Thursday: Act Up. Sound Out.
DESCRIPTION:Act Up. Sound Out.\nThursday\, January 10th\nDinner at 7pm\nPresentations at 8pm\nFlux Gallery\, this location is wheelchair accessible \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLet us know you’re coming on Facebook \nYou are invited to Act Up. Sound Out. This month’s community potluck and art salon. The event is free\, but please do bring food or drink to share! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will take place in the Flux Factory Gallery\, which is wheelchair accessible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoundtable? Join us on the Sofreh\, a traditional Iranian backdrop that holds a feast\, a gathering\, a place to come together. Feast on the community Sofreh with a presentation of work by Yams Collective member Maureen Catbagan\, a presentation and surprise Amazon Jungle Gym performance by Jevijoe Vitug\, and a Weaponizing Sound presentation and workshop by Sholeh Asgary and Rachel Austin. The central microphone and stage will be open to all for the rest of the evening to pose pressing questions for discussion\, to sing a song\, or to share a story. What are the parameters that fail our experience today and what does it mean to be an artist within a larger community? How do we act up? Bring a spice or herb to create your own carbonated yogurt beverage. Participation is optional\, but we encourage you to Act Up\, Sound Out!    \nMaureen Catbagan is a Filippino-American\, multi-media artist based in Brooklyn whose work engages social collectivity\, examines relations between identity and experience\, and explores new forms of empowerments.  Collaborative projects include Abang-guard\, Flux Factory\, HOWDOYOUSAYYAMINAFRICAN? collective\, and experimental music groups Bloodflames and PXALM. She is currently in post-production for her first feature film Lilly Galaxy. \nJevijoe Vitug’s project-based practice ranges from painting\, objects\, performance to community engaged work. Drawn from his personal experience as an immigrant who constantly moves from one place to another\, his projects are connected to the notion of reinvention amidst diversity of contradictions. \nBorn in 1977 in the Philippines and currently lives and works in New York\, Vitug’s processes focus on how to negotiate hybrid identities in response to constant change by creating a confluence of the past and the future\, dream and reality\, invisibility and visibility\, the local and the global. \nSholeh Asgary and Rachel Austin\, Weaponizing Sound\nSholeh Asgary is an Iranian born (1982)\, American multidisciplinary artist who references lens based media through sculpture\, painting\, installation and sound. Related to early somatic experiences and traumas of the diasporic condition\, her multidisciplinary works address the way objects create disambiguation and break down language and representation. Current artist-in-residence at Flux Factory. \nBorn in the backwoods of Virginia\, and living and working between New York and Belfast\, Rachel Austin is an interdisciplinary artist\, carving her name as an improviser\, songwriter\, and electronic composer. Austin’s electronic work exposes the links between sound and narrative — the abstract sounds we hear so often in improvisation and the words that lace the head when filled with sound. She sometimes creates pieces of divided sound and performance art\, art that intersects with the personal-political to create momentary space for suspension of auto-prescribed narratives. \nWeaponizing Sound is based on the idea that we may lack the vocabulary needed to adequately express self both locally and cross culturally. By becoming closer to our own utterances and vocalizations\, one will discover and develop new/alternative ways of communication sans vocabulary based on the verbal. Can this put us in touch with something unknown? Can a sound name a thing we have no name for? Is this enough? Weaponizing sound does not indicate to inflict pain on another. Quite the contrary. “Weaponizing” can be seen as an admittance of vulnerability.

SUMMARY:Sniff Out: Residency Exhibition by Bruno Silva
DESCRIPTION:SNIFF OUT\nDecember 13th – 16th\nOpening Reception/FLUX THURSDAY: December 13th\, 7pm – 10pm\nGallery Hours: December 13th –16th\, 4pm – 6pm\nor by contacting the artist s.brunomail@gmail.com \nSniff Out is an exhibition from Bruno Silva\, a current Flux Factory Artist-in-Residence. By wandering from space to space\, Bruno invites the visitor to stroll around the existing architectural and ambient features of Flux Factory. \nThe meeting point is the gallery space of Flux Factory. \nPlease join us on Thursday\, December 13th\, for our monthly community potluck and art salon: an informal time to catch up with old friends\, eat something delicious prepared by our artist-chefs\, and explore Bruno Silva’s exhibition Sniff Out.\nThe event is free\, but please do bring food or drink to share! \nPart of this event will take place in the Flux Factory kitchen\, which is up a long flight of stairs. Unfortunately\, this event is not wheelchair accessible. \nBio\nThe perceptual quality of things and the intensity of ordinary events are protagonists in the work of Bruno Silva. In his practice\, he lets himself be surrounded by forms\, observed or found according to moments of strolling\, personal experiences or random encounters that become the sources of his work. These characteristics found in everyday life lead the artist to determine a relationship between an object and its environment\, and voluntarily suspend the definition of the work in favor of memory and a form of collective speculation. Bruno Silva has recently exposed at ZZ Studio in Lyon (France) and at Cité Internationale des Arts\, Paris (France). He has also exposed at FELT Galleri\, Bergen (Norway)\, TARS Gallery in Bangkok (Thailand)\, Galeria do Sol in Porto (Portugal). Bruno realized residencies at Vivarium\, Rennes (France)\, Hordaland Kunstsenter\, Bergen (Norway) and at Residency Unlimited\, New-York. \nbruno-silva.eu

The first photo shows Melinda Katz\, Queens Borough President standing at a glass podium speaking to a crowd. She is a woman with blond hair to her shoulders. She is holding a microphone with one hand and gesturing with her other hand. There are people sitting behind her. The second image shows the screen of a laptop sitting on an table\, behind the computer is a crowded meeting hall. On the screen of the computer is the text “We can pool our money to invest in buildings and land for local\, cultural and cooperative uses.” \nThe NYC Real Estate Investment Cooperative (NYC REIC) is a not-for-profit corporation working to secure permanently affordable space for civic\, cultural\, and cooperative use in NYC. They believe that the people who live and work in New York City should be able to create the city we want together and that permanently affordable work space is at the heart of economic justice\, cooperative power\, and neighborhood resilience. REIC has laid the groundwork to establish Community Land Trusts so that large groups of citizens can pool small-scale investments to keep beloved local businesses in place and thriving.

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:Mark For Redaction Film (deseos)
DESCRIPTION:Mark For Redaction Films\nThis Series is a part of the Major Exhibition Mark for Redaction\, envisioned by Razan Al-Salah and curated by Hilal Khalil\n \n\nOctober 28\, 5pm\nScreening of deseos / رغبة\nFollowed by discussion with co-writer Maya Mikdashi \nFollowing a performance by NAXÖ at 6:30pm\n2015\, 30 minutes\n \nFilm by Carlos Motta\nfollowed by a discussionwith Maya Mikdashi\nThe film Deseos / رغبات (Desires) exposes the ways in which medicine\, law\, religion\, and cultural tradition shaped dominant discourses of the gendered and sexual body through the narration of two parallel stories. The first is that of Martina\, who lived in Colombia during the late colonial period of the early 19th century. The second is the fictionalized life of Nour\, who lived in Beirut during the late Ottoman Empire. Part documentary and part fiction\, the film presents an imaginary correspondence between these women. Separated by geography\, culture\, and religion they both faced the consequences of defying sex and gender norms \nThe colonial court prosecuted Martina in 1803 for being a “hermaphrodite” after being accused by her female lover of having an “unnatural” body. Martina was tried in a court of law and ultimately set free after medical doctors appointed by the court were unable to find evidence of her lover’s accusation. This story is documented in the 1803 legal case found in the Archivo General de la Nación in Bogotá\, Colombia. \nMeanwhile\, in Beirut\, Nour was married to her lover’s brother after Nour’s mother found them making love. Despite the fact that Nour’s story does not occur in a courtroom nor is it found in a legal case\, notions of Islamic and late Ottoman laws\, cultures\, and histories condition her narrative. \nMaya Mikdashi  \n\n\n\nMaya received her Ph.D. from Columbia University’s Department of Anthropology. Her dissertation\, entitled “Sex\, Secularism\, and Sectarianism: Practicing Citizenship in Contemporary Lebanon\,” is an ethnography of the Lebanese legal system and of the entanglements between gender\, sex\, and sectarianism. She is also Co-Founder/Editor of Jadaliyya Ezine and Co-Director of the documentary film About Baghdad. She works at the intersection of legal anthropology\, feminism\, queer theory\, and theories of secularism and religion.\n \n \n\n\n\n  \n
