SUMMARY:OPEN CALL: Must They Also Be Gods
DESCRIPTION:Major Exhibition Open Call: Must They Also Be Gods \nDeadline: August 12th\, 11:59pm \nCo-curated by Kalon Hayward and Brie Free \nApply Here \nMust They Also Be Gods will be presented at Flux Factory from October 11th to November 3rd\, 2019. All invited artists will receive a stipend. \nMust They Also Be Gods will highlight the power of black community and movement\, as a celebration of divinity\, love\, and ascension. The selection of works will present an inter-sectional way of looking at possible futures and alternate realities through a black cultural lens. \nThe curators are looking for artists that use their black imagination to consider mysticism\, metaphysics\, identity and liberation; artists that offer a way to see black beauty in the future\, the past and the present. \nMust They Also Be Gods is a safe place for non-linear artists to use their imagination and spirituality to uplift the beauty of Blackness. This exhibition will feature artists from the African Diaspora that work in all forms of art\, and will showcase artists with a cosmic point of view centered around journeys of self-discovery.  \nOver the course of one month Must They Also Be Gods will house installations and visual arts in the Flux Factory Gallery\, and host magikal dance parties\, performances\, healing workshops\, and a marketplace. \nPlease email gods@fluxfactory.org with any questions \nApply Here

SUMMARY:Diving Into The Surface: Solo Exhibition by Marta Masternak
DESCRIPTION:Diving Into The Surface\nA solo exhibition by Marta Masternak  \nAugust 23rd – 26th\nGallery Hours: 1pm – 6pm\nOpening Reception: August 23rd\, 7:00pm \n  \nLet us know you’re coming on Facebook \n\n\n\n\n\non the edge where the outside ends and the interior begins\, \nfrom tomorrow to today\, from today to yesterday\, today\, yesterday\, tomorrow\,\nnon stop\,\nthe same movement\,\nthe same bread\,\nthe same taste of coffee\,\nthe same set\,\nof societal punctuation marks on our lives\, everything melting into one surface\,\nform one place to another\,\nform one text to another\,\nfrom one word to another\,\nwe know something\,\nwe don’t know all\,\nwe are a copy of our copies\,\nbuilding on our parents feelings\,\nto create a world on the rules of our grandparents\, breaking what is right\,\nbreaking what was bad\,\nbuilding what is good\,\nbuilding what was false\,\nliving on the surface\,\nmelting with the lines\,\ngathering points form place to non-place\,\nfinding utopia\,\ncreating dystopia\,\nuploading pictures\,\ntyping feelings\,\nnot knowing anything\,\nknowing everything\,\nposting\, copying\, recording\, processing\, deleting\, moving\, postponing\, saving\, forgetting\,\nbecoming a surface\,\nwithout any significant points\,\njust diving\,\nfrom utopia to dystopia\,\ninto blurred boundaries \n\n\n\n\nMarta Masternak was born in Poznan\, Poland and now lives and works in Berlin. She studied Painting\, Sculpture\, and Multimedia at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and Fine Art at Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Before she studied Architecture\, which was natural pre-development of her current artistic activities.\nMasternak´s work oscillates mostly between sculpture\, film\, sound\, and drawing and it is presented in site-specific arrangements\, that intend to evoke a mood rather than telling a story. Her installations are built from mixed media and are based on research into shapes\, the fluid transition of material and color from one form to another\, and how this impacts the viewer´s perception. Her compositions strike an odd balance between spontaneous expressions and precise calculations\, often relating to elements of forms and lines\, it creates a visual rhythm and fluid continuity\, which exposes the phantom of time\, the fragility of movement and the present-day human condition. Another important subject in her works is the processing of memory and how this has shifted through engagement with digital media. She is also a member of the experimental jazz/noise/punk band: permanenterror. Marta’s Residency at Flux Factory is supported by the Trust for Mutual Understanding.

SUMMARY:Rebuilding Work: Open Studio and Artist Talk with Hunter Creel
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 8th\n Open Studios\, noon – 8pm\nArtist Talk\, 6pm \nPlease visit Hunter Creel on Sunday\, August 8th in the Flux Factory Gallery\, while he rebuilds a coffin as part of his ongoing work\, Gate to the Multi-Verse. At 6pm join him for an artist talk and discussion about the project. \nThe work explores the life and death of an individual in correlation to a coffin he exhumed from a parallel world\, and his attempt to re-gain access to the multi-verse. Creel builds fictional narratives around his sculptural works\, below is an excerpt from Gate to the Multi-Verse. \n\n“I have come back from the dimensional travel with my own coffin. I found my gravestone\, dug it up\, and found it empty. I can’t explain this yet\, but I can say that the realization was not a surprise to me. I felt as though the Hunter Creel of this dimension\, or another one\, was guiding my hand in the excavation. One of us has been here before. \nIn transporting my coffin through the portal\, it was changed. I can only assume then that I was changed as well\, though not so visibly. The coffin is in parts unfinished wood\, as I would expect a carpenter’s coffin to be\, and other parts it is stripped yellow and orange. It is striped like the ambulance on the way to the hospital. It is stripped like the scar that runs though my chest and\, at time\, itches like a low flow of electricity through my body.” \n Bio\nHunter Creel is an artist whose practice revolves around his unique access to the multi-verse in\nattempt to discover\, collect\, observe new forms of technology\, information\, energy\, and\nresources. His work produced is a combination of the materials of our world in combination with\nones in parallel. Hunter is building new machines and narratives in an attempt to improve our\nrelationship with each other and our environment. He is also consumed by observing himself in\nanother context as a form of parallel reflection. Problems do occur and mistakes and setbacks\nhave been made\, but he is hopeful through the research of new forms of energy\, we as a species\ncan learn to coexist with our environment and each other.

SUMMARY:At the Twelfth Hour: Confessions of a Hongkonger by Tse Fei
DESCRIPTION:At the Twelfth Hour: Confessions of a Hongkonger \nby Tse Fei \nSeptember 12th\, 7pm – 10pm\nSeptember 13th – 15th\, 10am – 6pm \nOpening Reception: Flux Thursday\, September 12th\, 7-10 pm  \nLet us know you’re coming on Facebook\n \n\nIf the idiom “the eleventh hour” refers to the final moment\, then “the twelfth hour” means that it is too late. For the artist Tse Fei\, the twelfth hour references a feeling of guilt that he may be missing out. \nMessage from Tse Fei\nHong Kong has been in political chaos since June 2019. As the anti-extradition bill movement continues to intensify\, the local government has stayed brutally blind to the demands of the public. As untimely a career move as it was\, I chose to leave my hometown for New York City to become an Artist-in-Residence at Flux Factory. \nDespite more than a month’s stay in NYC\, I failed to adapt to my daily life – I could not refrain from binge-watching live videos of the demonstrations in Hong Kong. The exhibition At the Twelfth Hour uses the 12-hour time difference between Hong Kong and NYC to highlight my desperation and homesickness while wrestling with both the physical distance and a virtual network. \n\nI hope that when I return to Hong Kong\, I do not regret that I was away from my city during this historic moment. \nBiography\nTse Fei is a conceptual artist and a secondary school Visual Arts teacher. Tse Fei was a janitor\, was a security guard\, was a designer; was a worker in a construction site; was an architecture student. As Shakespeare said\, “We know what we are\, but know not what we may be.” He believes that the possibility of a man and his art should be unlimited. \n(Hong Kong viewers who are unable to visit the site can go to www.facebook.com/fei.tse.3/videos_by during the exhibition to watch the live broadcast of one of my works.) \n\n\n《第十二小時：一個香港人的告白》\n謝斐 個展如果俚語「第十一小時」的意思是最後的一刻，那麼「第十二小時」所表達的，就是錯過之後的內疚。香港自2019年6月起陷入政治亂局，一方面反對修訂逃犯條例的示威越趨激烈，另一方面政府一直對市民的訴求無動於衷。而我卻在此時，要無奈離開故鄉，前來紐約，作駐留藝術家。\n由於總是無法自控地觀看示威直播，我在這一個多月來一直未能適應紐約的生活。是次展覽借助香港和紐約的十二小時時差，向觀眾訴說我在異地的無力感與鄉愁，並探討物理距離與虛擬網絡之間的角力。但願我回港之時，並無錯過太多，未致後悔莫及。（未能現場參觀的香港觀眾可於展覽期間前往 https://www.facebook.com/fei.tse.3/videos_by 觀看其中一件作品的直播。)鳴謝：\nFlux Factory\n英華書院

SUMMARY:Party Dress Party by Dew Igworia
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 20th \nOpen Studios\, 2 – 7pm\nParty Dress Party 9pm – 12am\nOpen mic at 10pm \nWear your best party dress for a dance party and celebration starting at 9pm. All are invited to bring a poem\, song\, question\, list\, story or other performance to the open mic at 10pm. \nLet us know you’ll be coming on Facebook \n\nRecent Flux Factory Artist-in-Residence\, poet and designer Dew Igworia\, has been working on a series of party dresses that celebrate and honor cherished garments that she collected over years\, which helped form her identity. These dresses connected her to a realm of fantasy and an expansiveness of self\, but were lost in the removal of a storage unit due to financial insecurity. Recreating these garments summons not only a multiplicity of Igworia’s selves\, but meaningful friendships and life trajectories that\, even if never realized\, still hold weight in memory and fondness. \nParty Dress Party and Dew Igworia’s practice seeks to understand the feminine body. Through textiles and garments\, she investigates the material process of moving from a girl to a woman\, as well as the slippage between these two states. How is personal style used to define these categories\, and how does celebration itself shift for feminine people both individually and collectively? Party Dress Party is also a tribute to a joyous masculinity that was embodied by Igworia’s father and brother; The two central men in her rearing\, who opened space for her to choose how she exists within femininity.

SUMMARY:Amir Badawi and Maria Lulu Varona: Works in Thread
DESCRIPTION:Amir Badawi and Maria Lulu Varona: Works in Thread\nSeptember 27th to October 6th\nFree and Open to the Public \nOpen Hours:\nThursday – Sunday\, 1 – 6pm\nOpening Reception\nSeptember 27th\, 7 – 10pm \nThank you to our beer sponsor Big aLICe Brewing!! \nFlux Factory presents an exhibition of works by two current Artists-in-Residence\, Amir Badawi and María Lulu Varona. Each uses colorful embroidery thread to arrive at radically different ends. A quiet medium\, both in its delicacy and in the time it takes to produce an object from tiny strands\, it is a material that encourages deep looking. \nPuerto Rican artist\, María Lulu Varona works with a cross-stitch technique to produce short narratives\, done in an 8-bit style referencing classic video games and comic strips. Made of cotton thread and Aida cloth\, each work is made up of between three and 23 frames and is presented as a scroll\, table cloth or on clothes. \nVarona employs a sensitive curiosity to address themes of becoming\, transformation and human relations with our environment. She sees space and color as her main instruments for story telling; color as character and essence. These are works of love\, and in the meditative silent process of making them\, she finds comfort to think\, feel and envision possible futures. \nAmir Badawi‘s work on the other hand uses the language of abstraction to elicit contemplation and play; referencing the aesthetic lineage of Lee Bontecou\, Ernesto Neto\, Senga Nengudi\, and Roberto Matta. Made of thin metal wire and rods\, meticulously wrapped with cotton thread\, Badawi’s compositions are slight and airy\, and often seem to float against a white background. Playing with negative space\, and by using directed lights\, the sculptures make shadows that extend and double the compositions\, which shift and change as the viewer moves through the gallery. \nBadawi takes inspiration from nature\, mathematics\, and the background noise of every day life.  His artistic process is driven by improvisation and non-verbal thinking\, allowing an exploration of material to weave together with trains-of-thought to produce otherworldly skeletons\, plants\, micro-organisms and other tendrils of imagination.

SUMMARY:Flux Thursday: A Spell To Ward Off the Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Flux Thursday: Nova Scott-James presents\, A Spell to Ward Off The Darkness\nOctober 10\, 7 – 10pm \nFlux Thursdays are Flux Factory’s longest-running program\, and takes place on the second Thursday of each month. \nFlux Thursday started in 1994 and is a monthly potluck and artists salon where artists present their work and gather for food and socializing. \nThis event is free but please bring food or drink to share! \n\nJoin Flux Factory artists for a very special screening of A Spell To Ward Off The Darkness by Ben Russel & Ben Rivers\, presented by Filmmaker and current Flux Factory Artist-in-Residence\, Nova Scott-James. \nThis unique\, experimental documentary made in 2013\, stars Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (best known for his intense live performances under the name LICHENS)\, as an unnamed character wandering through three seemingly disparate moments in his life. With little explanation\, we join him in the midst of a small Estonian island; in isolation in the majestic wilderness of Northern Finland; and during a concert as the singer and guitarist of a black metal band in Norway. Marked by loneliness\, ecstatic beauty and an optimism of the darkest sort\, A Spell To Ward Off The Darkness lies somewhere between fiction and non-fiction – it is at once a document of experience and an experience itself. A Spell To Ward Off The Darkness won the New Vision Award at the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival in 2015. \nNova Scott-James will introduce A Spell To Ward Off The Darkness and screen a trailer for her upcoming film Wild Darlings Sing the Blues. A doc/narrative hybrid series\, Wild Darlings Sing the Blues follows a group of queer Black women and gender non-conforming artists on a spiritual journey that begins on a wooded indigenous sanctuary and culminates in a group pilgrimage to a plantation in the American South. \nA Spell To Ward Off The Darkness\, 98 mins\nDirected by: Ben Russel & Ben Rivers\n \nThis event takes place in the kitchen\, which is up one flight of stairs. \nUpcoming Flux Thursday\nNovember 14th\, 2019\nDecember 12th\, 2019\nJanuary 9th\, 2020

Sheila engages deeply with controversial local subjects\, with sensitivity to those in need and a wonkish genius to see into the heart of an issue and catalyze solutions that address Queens’ broad and diverse needs. Sheila serves on LIC’s Community Board 2\, organizes the Taste of LIC\, formerly served as Managing Director of the Queens Council on the Arts\, and was recently honored as a visionary leader by Bennington College. Beyond the bonafides\, Sheila advocates in unseen ways for many in need and has been an irreplaceable influence on Flux Factory’s sustainability efforts. \n\nChloë Bass is a multiform conceptual artist\, educator and writer whose output is as prolific as it is varied. Her solo exhibition\, Wayfinding\, commissioned by the Studio Museum of Harlem\, is now on view at St. Nicholas Park.

As a key social practice artist and thinker of the last decade\, Chloë has long been an influence and co-conspirator in Flux Factory’s participatory leanings. The first collaboration was “Traffic Disruption Village”\, in which Chloë staged a traffic jam so long that travelers stuck there created their own bivouacs and design strategies in an imagined itinerant society. Honoring Chloe at this moment in Flux’s evolution acts as a reminder of our foundational mission and priorities\, to lift up challenging\, socially engaged work in defiance of market forces. \n  \nThank you to our Wine Sponsor \n \n  \n  \nProduced with hand-harvested grapes from select high-altitude vineyards located in the Andes provinces of Argentina\, we are thrilled to be serving Terrazas de los Andes wines at this year’s auction. \n\n\n\nThank you to our Beer Sponsor\n\n  \nThank you to our generous Beer Sponsor\, Lagunitas.

SUMMARY:RUB - Now Wave and Graphic Activism
DESCRIPTION:Flyer by Cayla Lockwood\nRUB – Now Wave and Graphic Activism\nFlux Factory Major Exhibition\nNovember 23 – December 15\n\nOpening Reception: November 23\, from 7:30 – 12am\nOpen Hours: Thursday – Sunday\, 1 – 6pm\nCLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING WEEKEND \nFULL SCHEDULE BELOW \nRUB is an independent publication\nan exhibition at Flux Factory\nan invitation to collaborate\, learn and build community \n\nRUB moves between two axes: the DIY strategies of the NOW-WAVE\, and GRAPHIC ACTIVISM. The NOW-WAVE houses artists who produce counterculture that challenges the boundaries of Nationhood\, and address issues that cross cultural boundaries. This movement wrestles with the notion of collective vs individual identities\, and uses a praxis of art and activism that moves beyond the white box context. The second axis is experimentation and reinvention through GRAPHIC ACTIVISM. The RUB Exhibition centers pieces with a special sensitivity for printed matter and publishing as practice\, that makes visible under-represented and under-appreciated identities. Themes that are included are: the experience of POC and QPOC; therapeutic art practices that deal with abuse\, depression\, and trauma; using graphic languages in the processes of resistance; and always returning to the personal as political. RUB features a selection of multidisciplinary practitioners and artists who use these two axes as raw materials. \nRUB originated as an independent publication\, zine and channel. RUB has traveled around the world\, into different exhibitions spaces such as the “Freedom School” at SPRING/BREAK Art Show— during Armory arts week in NYC\, Singapore art bookfair\, AKI Gallery in Taipei\, Taipei Contemporary Art Center\, Queer zine Fest\, LA Printed Matter\, and more recently AKTA community center in Tokyo and Kyoto Art Center. RUB’s mission is creative engagement with local experimental communities of color in an era where the United States is ruled by a paranoiac\, and a dehumanizing nexus has come in his wake. We witness a culture infected with commodification\, consumerism\, violence and the rupture of identity. A culture of manufactured fear and legally institutionalized discriminations. RUB is a free space\, an incubator in a society shaped by brutality where uncensored voices can express nonconformity\, opposition and provocation to the socio-political panorama. Within the space of RUB\, we can escape the imposed boundaries through a de-colonial\, DIY and activist practice. \nNOW WAVE and GRAPHIC ACTIVISM Movement Members List\nAarati Akkapeddi\, Amelia Bande\, Mitsuko Brooks\, Eun Hyea Choi\, Jevijoe Vitug\, Kaitlin Chan (Queer Reads Library)\, Pei Ling Ho\, Toby Millman\, Martha Naranjo Sandoval\, Maureen Catbagan\, Yin Ming Wong\, Andre Ramos-Woodard\, Yanbo Li\, XVK\, Eleni Theodora Zaharopoulos + more artist contributors coming \n\nFULL PROGRAM \nNOVEMBER 23\nOPENING RECEPTION with performances\n7:30pm to 12am\, Performances by Pei Ling Ho\, Amelia Bande and Echo the Golden Ghost \nIn this participatory performance Pei Ling Ho explores themes of “East/West” and “self/other” within the contemporary context of global feminism. Often use her own body as a vehicle to activate social issues on the impact of exotic and local culture\, gender identity awareness\, the legitimacy of parents under the social system\, and the emotional blackmail in a family. \nAmelia Bande is a writer working in performance\, theater and film. Her plays Chueca and Partir y Renunciar were staged in Santiago\, Chile. She is part of the Gel Film Series (2012- present) and she co-founded Publishing Puppies\, a press for visual work\, poetry and fiction (2011-present). She has recently shown work\, solo and collaborative\, at Artists Space\, The Poetry Project\, Pratt Manhattan Gallery\, Dixon Place\, BAM\, The Shandaken Project\, and many more. \n\nEcho the Golden Ghost  will be enacting a physical haunting out of grief for genocidal displacement of not only humans but its own embodiment as a golden figure. Gold\, just like our labor and our bodies is commodified and extracted in the name of white western cisheteronormative imperialism and american exceptionalism. \n\nCLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING WEEKEND \n\nDECEMBER 1\n10am – 6pm\, ADULT MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID TRAINING \n(must attend all 8 hours)\n\nRSVP Required\, please enroll here \nThis course teaches participants a five-step action plan to help someone 18 years or older who is displaying signs of a mental illness or emotional crisis. Participants will receive a city certificate of participation.\n \n\nDECEMBER 7\nWORKSHOP AND GARAPARTY\n4 – 7pm\, WORSHOP: FAMILY ALBUM PHOTOS IN ART by Martha Naranjo Sandoval \n\nFamily pictures are interesting because their amateur quality makes them as intentional as they are accidental. In this workshop we will revise works of art that use family pictures in different ways and experiment with family pictures. Found family pictures will be provided but we encourage to bring your own as well. \n10pm – 1am GARAPARTY created by DEX FERNANDEZ with DJ Dekdestroy from Manila\nSuggested Donation $5\nThe GaraParty was born out of that desire with the notion of parasitic infestation expanded in the form of a fantasy: Guests assume the role of Garapata\, set free and welcomed by a willing host – the party venue. GaraParty is a commentary: An escape from the dire circumstances of reality\, such as dirty politics\, poverty\, loneliness\, discrimination\, etc. It is also an idyllic moment where\, in contrast to reality\, parasites – or metaphorically\, humans on the margins of society.\n\nDECEMBER 12\nFLUX THURSDAY\n6pm\, RELEASE OF RUB CATALOG BOOK WITH ALL THE CONTRIBUTORS\n \nFlux Thursday is Flux Factory’s longest running program.

SUMMARY:Know The Ways: Solo Exhibition by Marjan Verstappen
DESCRIPTION:Know The Ways:\nSolo Exhibition by Marjan Verstappen\nFriday January 17 – Sunday January 19 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, January 16\, 7 – 11pm\nOpen Hours: Friday\, Saturday & Sunday\, 1 – 6pm \nPlease share this event on Facebook \nA solo exhibition by Flux resident Marjan Verstappen\, Know The Ways is a critical exploration of colonial understandings of the frontier\, as received through the abstract landscapes of Florence Martin. A virtually unknown contemporary of the Transcendentalist painting group\, Martin destroyed her paintings in the 1960s during a crisis of faith. Using x-rays and rare historical photographs of the paintings\, Verstappen has recreated a collection of Martin’s major works. Through these actions\, Verstappen explores deep spiritual and cultural conflicts within Martin’s paintings\, and ultimately\, the legacy of guilt and greed within settler relationships with the land.

SUMMARY:Good Morning\, India!
DESCRIPTION:Image description: A decaying wall mural of the Indian flag\, gold on the top a blue wheel in the middle and green on the bottom\, with a pile of rubble and bricks on the bottom. from Bangalore circa. 2014.\nSaturday\, January 25\nMedia Making Workshop\n11am–4pm \nArtist talk by Sindhu Thirumalaisamy\n4pm \nPlease share this event on Facebook\nThis workshop is open to people of all ages and backgrounds but an RSVP is required. Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to maya@fluxfactory.org \nInquilab Zindabad! \nThe spirit of resistance is alive in India. The forces of facism are met with the love\, care\, humor\, and strength of a newly forming people’s movement. For a month the whole nation has been in protest against Hindu supremacist laws that suppress the basic rights of several minority groups\, particularly Muslims. Sounds and images have been a vital part of this resistance. WhatsApp memes\, songs\, music videos\, kolams\, and a range of posters have flooded our imagination\, describing the nation that we want to live in. Join us for a workshop and talk with Flux resident Sindhu Thirumalaisamy where we will listen\, view\, read\, and contribute to the resistance with sounds and images. \nPrior to the talk\, the Flux Factory gallery will turn into a workshop for media making. Do you want to make a poster? A meme? Want to record a video? A song? Want to learn how to draw a kolam? Want to chat with about what is happening in India and beyond? We will gather materials\, equipment\, and people to help make all of this happen! \nSindhu Thirumalaisamy is an artist working across sound\, video\, text\, and installation. She is a participant of the Whitney Independent Study program in 2019-20. Sindhu holds an MFA in visual art from the University of California\, San Diego\, is an alumnus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, and a fellow of the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar.
