SUMMARY:Flux Thursday\, S.T.E.P…
DESCRIPTION:September 13th  7 – 10 pm \n  \nPlease join us for our monthly community potluck and informal art salon!  \nWe invite you to meet walking artists\, and ask: Who sets the pace and measurement of the world\, the power of dreams and our entanglements between each of these and one another? \n  \nDrop a dream into Claire Hind and Gary Winters’ Heads \nWalking Score Slam – Conceptual walks that can be rolled wheeled and walked! \nWalking Artists’ Talk with: Walis Johnson\, Clare Qualmann\, Jevijoe Vitug \nWalk it out with The Rude Mechanical Orchestra! \n  \nDate: Thursday September 13 \ndinner begins at 7:00pm  \nLocation: Flux Factory \nWalk Length: approx. 3 hours \nWalk Capacity: 150 \nWalk Level: Fluxy Fun – sticks\, wheels and walkers welcome! \nThe event is free\, but please bring a treat or drink to share with 4 people\, wear comfortable clothing and shoes. \nAbout the Artists \nWalis Johnson’s project\, The Red Line Archive is a mobile public art project that engages New York City residents in a conversation about race and the history of the 1938 Red Line Map that helped create the segregated urban landscapes of the city. This “cabinet of curiosities” is wheeled along city streets\, inviting people to freely associate about personal artifacts and documents from the artist’s family history in gentrifying Brooklyn and ephemera collected during four artist walks in and along the periphery of redlined neighborhoods. \nClare Qualmann’s Perambulator walk\, invites local stroller users to walk together en masse around the Long Island City neighborhood. Questions at the core of Perambulator walk – no matter the location of the stroller walk – are about the obstacles\, interruptions\, and challenges that the materiality of the street presents to the stroller user. When walked alone stroller impediments are an annoyance\, and often unnoticed. Walking en masse with strollers heightens the visibility of walkway impediments; the absurdity of multiple strollers negotiating each obstacle in their path\, enables a collective\, creative and aesthetic reclamation of mobility challenges with a stroller. \n \nJevijoe Vitug will talk about his project\, Source of Living\, A hand powered street cart that could turn into a boat\, designed specifically for a disabled vendor. The project is interested in exploring ideas on appropriate technology\, everyday survival and environmental change. Vitug is a Philippine-born artist living and working in New York City whose project-based work ranges from painting\, photography\, digital\, sculptural objects to performance\, community-based projects and curatorial projects. His work often touches on the notion of reinvention through various mash-ups of contradiction. In response to constant change brought by environmental and technological shifts\, his “multi-functional” projects focus on the confluence between the ideal and the real\, the past and the future\, the local and the global. \nGary Winters and Claire Hind \nDream Yards is a playful outdoor walking performance to specific locations around Long Island City; where the audience might find themselves in (old medieval) York! Dreams are collected from public donations\, woven into a script and performed on the walk by the character Kong Lear (Claire Hind) and her fool (Gary Winters)\, who then guides the audience through the 5 stages of sleep.\nDream Collection:  Come along and drop a dream into our heads from 7- 9 pm \n \nThe Rude Mechanical Orchestra! is a 30-odd-piece New York City radical marching band and dance troupe. Through our music and performance\, we strive to support people and communities working for social justice. We play protests\, demonstrations\, direct actions\, picket lines\, marches\, benefits and events for good causes. We function as a democratic collective through consensus-based decision-making. \n

The Of Statues and Markers infrared flash photography walk is meant as a way to evaluate tendencies that celebrate some histories while at the same time erase other histories. The walk will result in a collective perspective and in turn a collaborative potential counter-monument that will be installed in the Flux Factory gallery for the remainder of S.T.E.P…. \nOf Statues and Markers also includes a night vision infrared camera hacking workshop! Cameras will then be used on the walk. \nUsed cameras will be available on site but participants are also welcome to bring their own old point-and-shoot cameras to hack. \nWorkshop begins at 5pm. We will share a quick meal\, then the walk begins at 7:30 pm \n

SUMMARY:Dutch Kills Dérive
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 8 \n9:15AM – 12:30PM\n\nLocation: Flux Factory\nDeparture Time: 9:30am\nWalk Length: approx. 3 hours\nWalk Level: Moderate. Mostly on sidewalks but involved some stairs\, rocky\, & steep off road terrain.\nWalk Capacity: 30 people.\nParking: Our walk ends near 25-30 Skillman Ave. LIC 11101. \nPlease wear comfortable clothing\, closed toe shoes & bring a water bottle.  \nRVSP ON EVENTBRITE \nWater is life… Until we shit in it  \nDrowning in our own muck and mire\, modern society must transmute its existence into that of an allegorical baptism in order to emerge a society of water protectors. The historic facts of exactly how our civilization has transformed the historic Dutch Kill waterway into a sewershed will act as both numbing analgesic and a point of illumination. Explicit historic content may be demoralizing but this is exactly how our colonization cleanse will bring us to a higher collective consciousness. Through mournful direct action of nu rituals and physical prayers for atonements we will follow the Creek’s ley lines to the hallowed centers of power and reclaim\, enliven and bless our waterways. As our senses awaken to the hydro-geologic power of place\, an enlightened understand of our prefigured toxic legacy will wash over the derive participants and respect for her sacred water cycles restored. \nGIL LOPEZ AND MITCH WAXMAN\nOrganizer of Dutch Kills Derive: \nGil Lopez was the community organizing resident at Flux Factory in 2014 and remains active in the community. He is also cofounder and president of Smiling Hogshead Ranch\, an urban farm collective located adjacent to the Dutch Kill. His environmental education work\, social engagement practice and nontraditional societal participation are life-crafted to expose the cracks in the spectacle for your bewilderment. \nMitch Waxman is the Newtown Creek Alliance historian and has been chronicling the Creek on his Newtown Pentacle blog since 2009. An advocate to restore\, reveal and revitalize the Creek\, his walking and boat tours have exposed hundreds to it’s murky waters and it’s deeper meaning and understandings. \nThis event is presented as part of Saunter Trek Escort Parade…(S.T.E.P.) at Flux Factory\, curated by Christina Freeman\, Emireth Herrera and moira williams.

SUMMARY:ALBI AY! AY!
DESCRIPTION:ALBI AY! AY!\nJoin us on Friday 24​ th​ of August ​for a night of performances followed by a party! \nDoors open at 7:30pm\n8pm-9pm: \nPerformance + Artist talk by Fadi J. Khoury \n9:30pm-10:30pm: Albi Ay! Ay! Multimedia installation party by Vegan Sushi For Breakfast \n10:30pm- 12:30am: Dance the night away with DJ Fursa!  \nLet us know you’re coming!\nThis event is free of charge!\nCurated by Janine el Khawand\n\nFadi J. Khoury will open with his first solo piece “عاري“ \nCombining classical ballet with folkloric belly dance\, this piece is a statement with deep personal significance that both expresses and generates a sense of self. Fadi embarks on an examination of identity and sexuality\, while attempting to reconcile between his traditional dance roots and contemporary dance practice. The piece is followed by a sneak peak into Fadi’s upcoming projects and an artist talk. \nFadi J. Khoury is an artistic director\, choreographer and dancer. He was born in Baghdad\, Iraq\, surrounded by the folkloric music and dance of Arab culture. He trained in classical ballet and folkloric dance\, but also in Modern\, Jazz\, and Ballroom. His performance reflects his unique mix of experiences and broad cross-cultural influences. \n\nThe party will kick off with Albi Ay! Ay! by Vegan Sushi For Breakfast​:\n \n“Albi Ay! Ay!” is a party! (I mean immersive participatory multimedia installation) based on the work of Maha Abdul Wahab\, an Arab forgotten sex-positive singer/composer from the 60’s. The project questions our understanding of Lebanese “traditional values”\, how our society has constructed a more conservative approach to sex\, and how we talk about sexuality today in art and pop culture in Lebanon and the region. \nWe’re celebrating the Arab women singers past and present who got it and flaunt it! \nVegan Sushi For Breakfast is the party name of Janine El Khawand and Myra El Mir who are cultural organizers and artists based in Beirut\, Lebanon. They have co-founded space27\, a feminist artist-run space and collaborative studio. Their work falls mostly within Relational Aesthetics\, existing at the intersection of art\, activism and social change. \nAfter the multimedia installation\, DJ Fursa will really get our hips shaking! Fursa (AKA Bashar) is the founder\, board member and resident DJ for Tarab NYC\, NYC’s Queer Middle Eastern\, North African and fabulous community organization! His style is a mix of dabke\, shami\, chobi\, redh\, chaabi\, bandari\, and other MENA beats mixed with pop\, dance and global booty beats. Find them on Twitter via @makhay And feel out Fursa’s style on Soundcloud. \n

SUMMARY:Butter on the Jam Knife & Cherry's First Solo: Works by Ryan Clayton and Wallis Cheung
DESCRIPTION:August 16th – 19th\nReception\, August 18th\, 7pm – 10pm\nPerformance\, 8pm\n\nGallery hours Saturday & Sunday\, 1pm – 6pm \nPlease RSVP on Facebook \nThe kitchen is where food is prepared\, our desire for continued existence realized fully in a location where not us becomes us. Non-lively matter (food) is prepared using thousands of years of technology to become an enjoyable (or merely passable) sensory experience for the lively (if perhaps a little tired) people. The kitchen also functions socially\, holding the potential for social gatherings and meals in its accumulated (or conspicuously absent) cutlery and plates. The kitchen is the household place where the virtual (in its capacity to hold endless potential) gets baked into the real. No longer in its virtual potential state the bread gets burnt\, the cake undercooked\, but the dinner conversation is wonderful and the souffle rises. In these moments of translation from possible to occurred\, virtual to real\, what potential is there to stick our fingers into the seams and let the steam out.    \nRyan Clayton is an interdisciplinary visual artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. There he is currently working on his MFA at Concordia University. Working primarily in digital mediums\, Clayton fashions technology which continuously reshapes and morphs both his self and the worlds in which he finds himself in.   \nClayton has exhibited in Canada and internationally\, both as a founding member of the collective VSVSVS and individually. Recent and notable shows include\, Maureen Show III\, Darling Foundry\, Montreal\, at the same time\, Contemporary Calgary\, Calgary\, to space in\, Katzman Contemporary\, Toronto. Participation in art fairs include Free School\, Supermarket\, Stockholm and Sailing Stones\, Platforms Project\, Athens. \n\nRyan will be preforming a collaborative skype dance at 8 o’clock on August 18th with collaborator Emilie Morin.\n\nEmilie Morin was born and raised in Montreal. Since 2006\, she works as a freelance dance performer for live performance and dance on screen and has collaborated with many independent choreographers and filmmakers. Emilie is currently enrolled in the MFA program at Concordia University in the Intermedia Program (Studio Arts) in 2017. She has traveled to Europe\, the United Sates and Mexico to present her work\, given conferences\, and teaches. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n \n  \n  \nWallis Cheung (b. Hong Kong) is an artist based in Toronto\, Canada and currently working in Richmond\, Virginia. Her work stumbles along video\, text\, textile and performance on articulation of the continuous changes in becoming a woman implicated in race and class. She frames her shared voice of intersectional feminist theory\, erotica and East Asian horror. She is a founding member of an artist initiative\, VSVSVS in Toronto from 2010 to 2017 and currently relocated at Richmond\, Virginia to complete her MFA in Virginia CommonWealth University. Her recent exhibitions included I Had A Flashback That Never Existed at 506 Franklin\, Richmond\, VA; Pouring Out at DNA Gallery\, London\, Canada; at the same time\, Contemporary Calgary\, Calgary\, Canada; to space in\, Katzman Contemporary\, Toronto\, Canada.

SUMMARY:WORKSHOP: Music Production For Everyone with PlayPlay
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP: Music Production For Everyone with PlayPlay\n\nJuly 25th\, 7pm – 9pm\nFree\nRSVP on Facebook \n\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. PlayPlay recently debuted their  soundscape installation at Flux Factory that focuses on the history of club music. So far in 2018\, PlayPlay has released music on labels such as Knightwerk Records\, Trash Cvlt\, and Worst Behavior Records\, with no signs of stopping. \n

SUMMARY:Air Rights: a series of artist-made flags
DESCRIPTION:Air Rights: a series of artist-made flags curated by artist and Fluxer\, Christina Freeman.\nFlag Raising: Pintados\, by Jevijoe Vitug\n\nThursday\, July 5th\nFlag Raising\, 5pm \nas part of the Opening Exhibition of Pintados: Portraits of Immigrants as Ancestors\nRSVP on facebook \n\nSpeaking to solidarity with immigrants and the working class\, this flag\, created by Jevijoe Vitug\, embraces the image of a raised fist as an early symbol of union organizing.  On the arm are the artist’s own tattoos of ocean waves and the flight pattern of birds\, referencing his personal experiences with movement and migration. The layered images offer multiple meanings\, including immigrant (in)visibility or stripes as prison bars. \n \n\nJoin us on July 5 at 5pm for the raising of the latest flag in the Air Rights series.\nAir Rights \nWhile air rights are conventionally framed in terms of potential real estate development\, the term legally defines who may “control\, occupy\, or use the vertical air space above a property.” Playing with this idea\, air rights here point to the value of (vertical) community space as a site for creative expression\, stemming from the first amendment of the Bill of Rights. In this series\, artists are invited to occupy the air space traditionally reserved for governments\, symbols of nationhood\, and real estate developers\, exercising their first amendment right to freedom of speech.  \nJevijoe Vitug (b.1977) is a Philippine born artist living and working in New York City whose project-based work ranges from painting\, photography\, digital\, sculptural objects to performance\, community-based projects and curatorial projects. His work often touches on the notion of reinvention through various mash-ups of contradiction. In response to constant change brought by environmental and technological shifts\, his “multi-functional” projects focus on the confluence between the ideal and the real\, the past and the future\, the local and the global. \nVitug earned his BFA from St. Scholastica’s College\, Manila\, Philippines in 1998 and his MFA from San Francisco Art Institute\, California\, United States in 2015.\nHis solo exhibitions include American Dreamzzz at San Francisco Art Institute Graduate Program Studios (2015)\, Terra Infirma at Left of the Center Gallery\, Las Vegas (2014)\, Wasteland/ Oasis at 5th Wall Gallery\, Las Vegas (2013)\, How To’s at Winchester Cultural Center\, Las Vegas (2012)\, Before/After: Nuclear Weapons Testing Legacy at 5th Wall Gallery\, Las Vegas (2012)\, The Truns at Manila Contemporary\, Philippines (2011)\, Source of Living at Pablo Gallery\, Manila\, Philippines (2010). \nHe has participated in various international group exhibitions including #makeamericagreatagain at White Box\, New York (2016)\, Promdi Archipelago at Bliss on Bliss\, New York (2014)\, Soledad y Compania at LA Galeria\, Colombia (2014)\, Traveling Miracle Show at Reno Art Works\, Reno\, Nevada (2013)\, Parallel Lines at Paul Nache Gallery\, New Zealand (2013)\, Queer Manila\, Manila Contemporary\, Philippines (2012)\, Yet Another Tea Party at Neant Bleu\, Berlin\, Germany (2011)\, Art in the Parking Space\, LAX ART\, Los Angeles (2011)\, 21st Asian International Art Exhibition at Singapore Art Museum (2006). \nVitug has curated and organized various exhibitions and projects such as Eco Logic at Contemporary Art Center in Las Vegas (2014)\, Rainbow 7: London Biennale Satellite at PUAH Gallery\, Henderson\, Nevada and The Contemporary Arts Center\, Las Vegas (2012)\, Overflow with David Medalla and Adam Nankervis at Space Gallery\, Las Vegas (2011)\, Tupada Action and Media Art at Cultural Center of the Philippines (2007). Since 2008\, Vitug is a founding member of an international cohort called Building a Nation with collaborators Sara Eliassen from Norway and Carlos Castro from Colombia\, and he has had numerous performance-based projects in the United States\, Japan\, Colombia\, Singapore\, Philippines\, Australia and Argentina.

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:Wilder LIC: Artist Talks & Closing Reception
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 17th \n6pm-8pm \nJoin us for the closing ceremony Wilder LIC\, the very first group exhibition at the Windmill Community Garden. We’ll enjoy three artist talks while sharing a complimentary supper. \nThe Windmill Community Garden is located at 39-22 29th St\, Long Island City\, NY 11101 \nMoira Williams\, Fluxer extraordinaire who works at the intersection of ecology and visual art\, will give a talk on Turkey Tail mushrooms\, with a demonstration on mushroom inoculation. “The Fungi family has over 36\,000 sexes and includes mushrooms\, molds\, smuts\, rust plus yeast! Most fungi lack chlorophyll\, causing their nutrients to come from materials other than the sun. Some fungi\, particularly mushrooms\, find nutrients in and digest petroleum\, plastic\, pharmaceutical and industrial waste. These same mushrooms are highly recognized for their medicinal properties and abilities to decrease the cycle of endocrine disrupters –plastic in waterways and land. Plus they live with us in NYC!” \nEthan Crenson\, of the New York Mycological Society\, will talk about fungi native to New York City that are small or otherwise overlooked.  He’ll bring along about 10 specimens for participants to examine (he’ll have magnifying loupes to share with participants).  The emphasis will be on ascomycete fungi.\n \nNat Roe\, Flux’s Executive Director and Wilder LIC co-curator\, will send closing remarks and musings on the exhibition’s themes including public space and sustainability. \nKatya Khan\, whose pretty/ugly was installed at Windmill for the Wilder LIC exhibition\, will speak about her artwork and landscape architecture. \nSupper from Flux Iron Chefs will be served\, including plants grown at Windmill so far! \nFull Wilder LIC Exhibition details: fluxfactory.org/event/wilder-lic-group-exhibition

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:Richard Garet and Andrea Haenggi performances
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Wilder LIC Exhibition\, Flux will host two performance and potluck afternoons at the Windmill Community Garden. \nJune 3\, at the Windmill Community Garden\, 39-22 29th St\, Long Island City \nDoors: 4 pm\n4:30 pm – Andrea Haenggi’s “DON’T TOUCH ME: A Participatory Fieldwork Performance”\n5:30 pm – Richard Garet\, quadraphonic sound performance \n++ food provided throughout by Flux Iron Chefs! \nOnly 15 may participate in Andrea’s piece\, RSVP is a must at this link. This event is FREE (!!) to the public with no RSVP needed – the RSVP is only necessary to be a participant in Andrea’s performance. \nMore about the artists \nRichard Garet\nRichard Garet works with sound and visual arts; New Yorkers may remember Richard’s work from the 2013 MoMA Exhibition “Soundings”. His materials emerge from ontological investigations of background noise and the decadence-and-decay of technological utilities. Garet seeks to invert the normative function of background noise from unconscious status to active presence. The images and objects in his work stem from processes and experimentations applied to both outmoded and current technological media that emulate situations that translate material source into abstractions. \nArtist website: www.richardgaret.com \nAndrea Haenggi\nAndrea Haenggi’s choreographic practice explores the various social\, ecological and political mediations of spontaneous urban plants we often call “weeds” through embodied movement based practice. The weeds “have a question for me” and “have to tell me/us something”\, they become my choreographic directives and as well my performers. \nweedychoreography.com \nThe attentive physical fieldwork “There was a sign saying DON’T TOUCH ME” invites participants to collectively create a performance work within the mosaic of spontaneous ecosystems of urban plants (aka weeds) surrounding the Windmill Community Garden in Long Island City. Within this context\, the urban plants are additional audience members as well as dance partners. Guided by Haenggi’s “urban weeds movement alphabet language” participants will experience possibilities of assembling with and caring for their own bodies as well as those of the urban plants. \n“There was a sign saying Don’t touch me” explores the limits of individual and collective willingness to be there for one another\, moving beyond humans\, and cultivates radical practices of intimacy. Ritual\, bioscience\, foraging\, dance\, voice and somatic practices underpin this participatory attentive physical fieldwork. These biodynamic encounters bring us deeper into the social connections of an urban block\, and uncover questions of how interspecies “wilderness” and companionship can feel in this\, the 6th mass extinction. \nAll are welcome\, no training needed\, just a willingness to be physical with the land and to be in proximity with humans and non-humans. We will sit and lie on the sidewalk\, wear comfortable clothes that can handle a little dirt and dust. The tour is limited to 15 participants and tickets are required with a suggested $5 – $10 donation.  RSVP is a MUST to participate.

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:Amirtha Kidambi and Jessica Pavone (solo and duo sets)
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Wilder LIC Exhibition\, Flux Factory will host two performance and potluck afternoons at the Windmill Community Garden. \nMay 27th\, at the Windmill Community Garden\, 39-22 29th St\, Long Island City\nThis event is free!\nDoors: 4 pm\n4:30 pm – Jessica Pavone (solo set)\n5:00 pm – Jessica Pavone / Amirtha Kidambi Duo\n5:30 pm – Amirtha Kidambi (solo set)\n++ food provided throughout by Flux Iron Chefs! \nMore information on the artists… \nJessica Pavone\nJessica Pavone (composer\, viola\, violin\, el.bass) has performed in countless improvisation\, avant jazz\, experimental\, folk\, soul\, and chamber ensembles since moving to NYC in 2000. She currently plays with Normal Love\, in a duo with guitarist Mary Halvorson\, with Anthony Braxton’s ensembles and as a solo violist. As a composer\, The Wire magazine praised her “ability to transform a naked tonal gesture into something special\,” and The New York Times described her music as “distinct and beguiling…its core is steely\, and its execution clear.” \n  \nAmirtha Kidambi\nAmirtha Kidambi “takes a holistic approach to singing\, which can mean treating every element as unfixed: Words can be opened up\, rendered nonspecific. Melody can be repeated and frozen and stuck in place. Markings of rhythm can become utterly abstract\, freed from cadence.” (New York Times)

SUMMARY:Weedy Nomad: A Walking Tour of LIC’s Forgotten Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Weedy Nomad: A Walking Tour of LIC’s Forgotten Landscapes\nMay 27\, 2 – 3pm\nPart of the Wilder LIC Group Exhibition\nTour commences at the Windmill Community Garden\, 39-22 29th Street in Long Island City \nJoin artists Thomas Choinacky and Christopher Kennedy for a walking tour of Long Island City’s overlooked green spaces and marginal ecologies. Starting at the Windmill Community Garden\, we’ll begin to observe\, engage with\, and map nearby vacant lots\, tree pits\, sidewalk cracks and highway medians. Together we’ll learn how to identify a range of spontaneous urban plants (aka weeds) and experiment with forms of movement and dance to engage with each weedy space and territory. Along the way we’ll also consider how the language we use to classify these organisms as “exotic” and “alien” has troubling parallels to policies and practices used to marginalize immigrant communities. Despite their status as invasive or dangerous\, these plants have immense value and can teach us about climate change adaptation and how to survive NYC’s harsh urban conditions. By the end of the workshop we hope to develop ideas for how to map multispecies life in LIC\, and a new understanding of what constitutes a so-called green space or landscape in NYC. \nThe workshop is open to all\, no prior knowledge needed! We encourage you to wear clothing you can move in\, and don’t mind getting a little dirty. \nPlease RSVP at this link if you like\, a suggested donation is appreciated but not required.

SUMMARY:Weedy Nomad: A Performative Field Study
DESCRIPTION:Weedy Nomad: A Performative Field Study\n May 26\, 2 – 3pm\n Part of the Wilder LIC Group Exhibition\, May 5 – June 6\n Tour Commences at the Windmill Community Garden\, 39-22 29th Street\, Long Island City \nJoin artists Thomas Choinacky and Christopher Kennedy for an interactive workshop and ecological field study of the Windmill Community Garden. Help us archive and engage with the garden’s multispecies life. Learn strategies for bioremediation\, wild plant mapping\, soil quality testing\, and assessing the health of urban landscapes. We’ll pay particular attention to the unwanted plants and organisms we consider weeds\, noting the edges and borders of the garden as spaces for interspecies collaboration and indicators of climate change adaptation. As we observe together\, we’ll also experiment with forms of movement and dance to communicate with plants and other nonhumans – imagining the body as a site for scientific inquiry. At the end of the workshop we hope you’ll feel inspired to conduct similar field studies in your own neighborhood\, and add to our collective research on NYC’s changing ecology. \nThe workshop is open to all\, no prior knowledge needed! We encourage you to wear clothing you can move in\, and don’t mind getting a little dirty. \nPlease RSVP at this link\, a $5-$10 suggested donation is appreciated\, but not required.

Using a combination of samples and hardware synthesizers to create everything from unearthly basslines to high-octane acid/industrial sounds\, PlayPlay makes energetic music that is both familiar and hard to pin down. In January\, they debuted their EP release “It’s Only 3am” on Knightwerk Records\, and have several more releases forthcoming in 2018. PlayPlay is also a music scholar and activist interested in local music scenes\, dance floor dynamics\, queer theory\, and media studies. PlayPlay is currently an artist-in-residence at Flux Factory\, where they will be debuting a soundscape installation that focuses on the queer history of club music from May 24-27. \nBronx native Richard (DJ Vinyl Richie/ 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. \nwill owen/Sponsored Lynx Originally from North Carolina\, US is an artist\, composer\, and curator currently based in Queens\, NY and Philadelphia\, PA. He is an artist in residence at Flux Factory (NYC) and a curator at Little Berlin Gallery (Philadelphia\, PA). Will works mainly with Sound\, Installation Design\, and Food.
