SUMMARY:THINGS I'VE SEEN Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join Flux for the opening of the exhibition THINGS I’VE SEEN. \n\n\n\nNovember 2-November 18Opening: Thursday\, November 2\, 6-8pmRSVP for visiting information here.Reach out to christina@fluxfactory.org about gallery opening hours. \n\n\n\nTHINGS I’VE SEEN is a duo show from Catarina Real and Gonçalo Duarte.  \n\n\n\nThe constant imagery that surrounds us\, and the overwhelming visual experiences in our daily life\, are reflected into the successive imagetic upcycling in art production. Catarina and Gonçalo make use of this flow of images\, remixing stolen images from other artists\, representations of other artists’ works and visual experiences influenced by their New York experience. This recycling of images and constant daily reflection on them establishes a critical relation between intellectual property and communal sharing. \n\n\n\nThe two Portuguese artists will be presenting prints\, drawings\, paintings and books. \n\n\n\nCatarina Real@_periclitante_ \n\n\n\nCatarina Real (Barcelos\, 1992) works in the intersection between artistic practice and theoretical research in the expanded fields of painting\, writing and choreography\, mostly in long-term collaborative projects that address the question of how we can live better collectively. She is a PhD student at the Center for Humanistic Studies at the University of Minho with a research that crosses art\, love and capital. Currently in residence at Residency Unlimited\, developing Color Therapy project\, a practice applied between color theory\, postal art and choreographic intuition. She maintains a commentary practice – in the form of reflection texts\, introductory texts to exhibitions\, interviews and moderation of conversations – to the works and processes carried out by artists in her generational range\, with the intention of contributing to a healthy environment of criticism and collective and communitarian creation. \n\n\n\nGonçalo Duarte@goncalo_duarte \n\n\n\nGonçalo Duarte (Setúbal\, 1990) works mainly with drawing and comics\, having published work with Chili com Carne and Kus! among others. He is a screen printer and has printed work by artists such as Alexandre Estrela\, Carlos Gaspar and Teresa Arega. He founded Edições da Ruína in 2021\, whose editions mostly use screen printing\, and has published artists such as Filipa Cordeiro\, Miguel Abreu and Rudi Brito. He regularly collaborates with other artists and collectives on publishing projects\, art residencies and exhibitions. Among them\, recurring collaborations include the ARARA collective\, Pedro Nora and Catarina Real. \n\n\n\nEdições da Ruína@edicoesdaruina

SUMMARY:Dead Gods Opening Event
DESCRIPTION:Join Flux for the opening event of the exhibition Dead Gods. \n\n\n\nOpening Event: December 31\, 2023Exhibition by appointment until January 7\, 2024 \n\n\n\n‘Dead Gods’ is a living monument that honors our prehistoric fungal ancestors as sacred earthly deities.  \n\n\n\nIn a moment where humans are set to cause the extinction of one million species\, MacEwan is reanimating an ancient terrestrial fungal giant that enabled the proliferation and diversification of life on Earth today. ‘Dead Gods’ pays tribute to a specific prehistoric super-fungi called the Prototaxite. This evolutionary triumph gave rise to the billions of terrestrial life-forms that followed. ‘Dead Gods’ is a practice of inter-species ancestor worship as ecological action. It is created through respectful collaboration with contemporary mushroom descendants of the Prototaxites. The ‘Dead Gods’ reward our attention and care by growing edible and medicinal mushrooms that are gifted to visitors of the exhibition.  \n\n\n\nA widespread expression of deity worship has been the creation of effigies and shrines that hold space for experiences with the metaphysical and the sacred. In contrast\, to supernatural or immortal gods\, ‘Dead Gods’ are mortal\, earthly\, extinct beings\, which tell the story of our ancestral bond to all life on earth. As deities\, they present an interpretation of our planet’s natural history as a vehicle for evolutionary spiritual transformation. \n\n\n\n‘Dead Gods’ is an ongoing project for which MacEwan repeatedly resurrects the Prototaxities by growing them\, at scale\, with their contemporary mycelial descendants. These resurrections increase in size and species diversity with each iteration. Reminiscent of a science-fiction narrative\, reanimating these now extinct life forms examines the utopic desire to reverse the inevitable process of extinction. Long-term\, MacEwan plans to resurrect the ‘Dead Gods’ on a scale comparable to the largest Prototaxities in the fossil record: 20 to 30 feet tall. For Flux Factory\, MacEwan presents a multimedia installation of the ‘Dead Gods’ project including living fungi and video projection in a structure reminiscent of a shrine. This presentation is an offering to the divine process of death and renewal as we bring in the new year.  \n\n\n\nArtist bioJemila MacEwan is an environmental artist known for their earthworks\, installations\, performances and expanded cinema projects. Their work takes an expansive view of time and geography\, often created through slow acts of physical endurance. MacEwan invites audiences to take an interspecies perspective for working through the overwhelming emotional toll of reckoning with anthropogenic climate change and mass extinction.  \n\n\n\nMacEwan has performed and exhibited extensively internationally including at; ARoS Museum (Denmark)\, The Australian Consulate-General\, Pioneer Works (NYC)\, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts (NYC)\, NYCXDESIGN (USA)\, and Skaftfell Center for Visual Art (Iceland). In 2022 MacEwan was awarded the NYSCA/NYFA Fellowship in Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design\, The Philip Hunter Fellowship\, The BigCi Environmental Art Award and was invited by TEDxBoston to present as a Planetary Fellow. They have been invited to attend notable residencies including; Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (USA)\, BANFF Center (Canada)\, NARS Foundation (NYC)\, and Ox-Bow School of Painting (MI). Their work has been published in Art in America\, Boston Globe\, SFMoMA Open Space\, and Artist Profile Magazine. MacEwan has been generously supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, the Australia Council for the Arts\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, the Ian Potter Cultural Council and is a recipient of The Marten Bequest Traveling Scholarship.

SUMMARY:Striped Light & Lucas Abela present Frankenstein 3
DESCRIPTION:RSVP to stripedlight.nyc@gmail.com for visiting detailsDoors at 7:30\, performances begin at 8$15 admission – 100% of the door goes toward performersFollow @striped_light on instagram to stay in the loop for future concerts \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur monthly Mondays Striped Light experimental concert series is in its 8th iteration with a special presentation by Australian sound artist Lucas Abela with Hisham Akira Bharoocha\, Chuck Roth\, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe\, Brandon Lopez\, Marcia Bassett\, Samara Lubelski\, Bob Bellerue\, David Watson & Sandy Ewen. \n\n\n\nWe have a super-rare visit to New York by Lucas ‘Granpa’ Abela\, one of the truly stand-out sound artists/performers of our time. Folks\, this one is simply not to be missed. On top of that\, Lucas has put together a nine piece New York super-band to play a Frankenstein assemblage composition that he has made for this occasion: live improvising groups that will be ‘carved up’ in real time. And then stitched together. Kind of.  \n\n\n\nInitially viewed as a turntablist\, Abela’s work has rarely resembled anything or anyone else. Early on he was stabbing vinyl with Kruger-style stylus gloves. Then he drag-raced the pope and pope-mobile across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in a sonic showdown. He has performed deaf defying duels with amplified samurai swords. It was bound to happen\, he was eventually hospitalized by high powered turntables that he’d constructed from motors. He landed pole position on Otomo Yoshihides’ Ground Zero remix compilation ‘Consummation’. And more. Much\, much more. Lucas Abela is simply one of the sharpest artists working today\, cutting a direct path through the same old.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Machines: Closing Performances
DESCRIPTION:Three performances on the penultimate day of Spiritual Machines: Venus RX by Midheaven or Nah\, The HTMLgardeness – Sowing HTML but Harvesting AI by Ursula Endlicher\, and Powered by the Glitch by Adelle Lin Yingxi. \n\n\n\nVenus Rx | Midheaven or Nah2022-2024 (ongoing)\, Fabric\, candles\, idols\, Goddess paraphernalia\, ritual items\, cardboard\, tinsel\, mylar and other household bric-a-bracSolidarity requires a felt connection displaced by techno-capitalism. Venus Rx is a performance that happens within 1-on-1 encounters which invite participants to tap into their interior feminine energy represented by planet Venus. While I am using technology to quickly ‘read the stars’ from a hand-held device\, the exchange requires an element of sharing\, storytelling\, vulnerability and empathy which challenges the absence of human feeling promoted by artificial intelligence and Big Tech. \n\n\n\n/// \n\n\n\nThe HTMLgardeness — Sowing HTML but Harvesting AI | Ursula Endlicher2024\, WebAR\, gif animation; acorn coffee\, dried pears and cherriesThe HTMLgardeness – Sowing HTML but Harvesting AI is a series of AR-Walks and experiences triggered by scanning the bark of trees\, a natural QR-code. A critical yet playful series\, it features the HTMLgardeness\, a character played by the artist\, reflecting on climate and systems\, code and fragility\, while offering AI-generated harvest. \n\n\n\nIn these walks guests are invited to venture out into different neighborhoods to discover\, with smart phone and the artist’s WebAR “bARk” in hand\, the HTMLgardeness’ trees and portals to reveal her tree-inspired AR dances\, while sampling tree-specific drinks and snacks offered along the way. \n\n\n\nFor Spiritual Machines the HTMLgardeness’ surroundings will be extended to the Colonels Row neighborhood on Governors Island where she’ll inhabit five trees! \n\n\n\nThe augmented trees continue to be active and can be visited also after the event using the artist’s WebAR “bARk” at: https://html.bark.garden. \n\n\n\n/// \n\n\n\nPowered by the Glitch | Adelle Lin Yingxi2024\, screen\, computer\, webcam\, custom 3D models\, AR softwarePowered by the Glitch explores the intersection of art\, technology\, and social activism through feminist cyborg theory and an interactive augmented reality (AR) installation. Audiences engage with their inner glitch\, becoming feminist cyborgs through AR\, challenging norms\, and embracing identity fluidity. \n\n\n\nThe project interrogates how virtual personas influence real-life identities\, proposing a synthesized identity merging both realms. Embracing the glitch as resistance and transformation\, it disrupts binary logic\, celebrating hybridity and the in-between\, aiming to dismantle societal expectations of women’s perfection and constant performance for the world’s gaze. \n\n\n\nRooted in Legacy Russell’s concept of the glitch as “a form of refusal\, a strategy of non-performance\,” the project interrogates the possibilities within conformist systems. Participants will explore new forms of identity that emerge from the disruptions and imperfections inherent in both technology and nature. Additionally\, the project will feature a cyborg feminist AR performance\, offering a dynamic exploration of these themes. \n\n\n\n/// \n\n\n\nSpiritual Machines presents interdisciplinary works by leading contemporary artists encompassing new media\, video\, sculpture\, installation\, and performance. The exhibition closes September 22\, 2024. \n\n\n\nView full exhibition information.

SUMMARY:Flux Factory Open Studios
DESCRIPTION:Flux Factory404A Colonels Row\, Governors IslandOpen Studios: Saturday\, November 2\, 1 – 5 PM \n\n\n\nJoin us on November 2 for Flux Factory’s Open Studios on Governors Island. Our last event this season on Flux Island\, we’ll be closing out our fourth year celebrating our beloved resident community. Explore the work of 9 artists\, our season-end exhibition and Island Luminaria Two. \n\n\n\nPERFORMANCES \n\n\n\n1-3 PM: Lera Lerner invites you to a participatory performance with the Non-Clairvoyant Tarot Deck3 PM: Daria Orlova and will owen will be performing a sound composition with a collaboratively created sculpture. The sculpture itself is meant to perform on its own and collaborate with Daria and will. \n\n\n\nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS \n\n\n\nItala Aguilera is a visual artist born and raised in Mexico City\, based in New York City where she works as a teacher at the Textile Arts Center and as a costume designer. Through her artistic practice she imagines an alternative reality in which the objects that surround us aren’t made for profit\, but instead are compelling and reveal the complexity of human emotions. \n\n\n\nYasmeen Abdallah is an interdisciplinary artist\, working across intersections of sculpture\, textiles\, painting\, and social engagement. Drawing from the personal and the political through elements of memory\, empowerment\, trauma\, resilience\, and persistence\, her work takes shape in various capacities from minimal gestures to maximal installations. This work is inspired by contemporary culture\, history\, space\, place and personhood. She is interested in the stories told\, and secrets kept by imprints and objects that speak to our contemporary culture. \n\n\n\n502 Bad Gateway is the artist duo of Alexander Baumann and Robert Ruth\, whose collaborative artistic disciplines include motion capture performance\, oil painting\, 3D game development\, sculpture\, vintage tech restoration\, building audio synthesizers\, animation\, and filmmaking. Their practice focuses on integrating their artistic methods with deprecated technologies from many different eras\, drawing on the history of usage to underline the intent of the work. With a foot in the world of experimental film and live performance\, and the other in fine art and installation\, 502 Bad Gateway desires to break the traditionally static\, immutable nature of gallery work\, by incorporating the real-time responsiveness of interactive live performance. \n\n\n\nZack Handler is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist interested in representing worlds that feel at once utopic and neptunian. In creating spaces that reflect boundless fantasy and somber interiority\, Zack is possessed by the idea that emphasizing imaginal spaces can reawaken narratives for alternative futures.  \n\n\n\nLera Lerner (b. 1988\, Leningrad) is an artist\, curator\, and mediator based in Paris. Through participatory projects\, she investigates the paradoxical nature of expectations\, the energy of side effects\, the ethics of lying\, suppressed desires\, distracting maneuvers\, and the possibilities of interspecific and cross-disciplinary communication. \n\n\n\nJodie Lyn-Kee-Chow is a Jamaican-American interdisciplinary artist living and working in NYC.  Her work often explores site-specificity through performance and installation art while investigating colonial histories pertaining to her Afro-Caribbean\, Asian\, and European heritage. Lyn-Kee-Chow’s work has been shown internationally. \n\n\n\nAmelia Marzec is an American artist engaging with communications infrastructure to inform a speculative future. Their current project\, Itinerant Signal Institute\, examines the effect of local emissions on global climate change\, and an ethnography to denote the changing of seasons. \n\n\n\nSally Beauti TwinWhy is the sky blue water wet? These are things that Sally Beauti Twin\, the world’s most vacuous artist\, hasn’t considered yet…but plans to do so soon. Artists make the dreams that make the future. In the future Sally wants  some dreams. Like bubbles\, her art levitates viewers to empyrean realms. Like other trans artists she paints with a love of nature and tonalist fantasy.  \n\n\n\nDaria Orlova is an trancedisciplinary artist from Murmansk. At the beginning of her artistic activity\, Daria built total utopian installations\, placing her works and the viewer there as direct participants in the interaction process (“Cafe of Dancing Lights”\, Winzavod\, Moscow; “Shimmering Letters. Agency of Memory”\, Future3\, Kiel). Now her practice pays more attention to situativeness\, invisible choreography and mistakes. Total installations have become routes. The artist tries to fix the movement of thoughts\, bodies and their agents by drawing with her eyes closed\, moving away from an open dialogue with the artistic process\, turning off one of the senses. Errors that neither a person nor a technique can exclude from their work are guides and assistants in recognizing images.

SUMMARY:Artificial Inhabitants: Arbrasson Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Registration: GiveLivelyTickets: $250*Need-based and sliding-scale tickets available \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, Daniel Fishkin will provide a short history lesson and demonstration of the Arbrasson\, a unique rubbed wooden idiophone from France. Workshop participants will also learn the fundamentals of building their own arbrassons using simple handtools such as a Ryoba saw and a Kanna. \n\n\n\nFriction idiophones are distinct in the history of musical inventions. Unlike string instruments\, which are popular everywhere from past to present\, friction idiophones are uncommon\, but are always remarkable in their sonic character. The Livika is one such curious case. Hailing from New Ireland\, the Livika is a carved log consisting of three “tongues” that is rubbed by moistened palms moistened to produce a piercing\, loud cry. Its name refers to birdcalls\, and it was played at Malagan funeral ceremonies. Curator Eric Kjellgren writes\, the Livika is “both a first of its type and a revolutionary design”  Unlike the jaw harp\, which is found all around the world\, the Livika is singular to Melanesia—there are no other world instruments like it. Yet it is considered “extinguished” by the field: there are no practicing indigenous players\, and only about 50 known instruments exist in museums around the world.    \n\n\n\nThe Livika was recently reincarnated: José Le Piez\, a sculptor based in France\, created the “arbrasson” in 1992—carving notches into polished logs\, he crafts wild polyphonic sculptures that resonate when rubbed. Le Piez discovered the concept accidentally—he did not know the Livika. Yet his instruments extend the Livika\, featuring more notes\, and wider tonal range. In Summer 2023\, Fishkin met Le Piez in his studio in Bordeaux\, where they began an international partnership as instrument builders\, sharing designs and keeping the future of the Arbrasson burning bright. \n\n\n\nWorkshop Leader Bio \n\n\n\nDaniel Fishkin’s ears are ringing. He has performed as a soloist on modular synthesizer with the American Symphony Orchestra\, developed sound installations in abandoned church sanctuaries\, and played innumerable basement punk shows. Daniel’s lifework investigating the aesthetics of hearing damage has received international press; as an ally in the search for a cure\, he has been awarded the title of “tinnitus ambassador” by the Deutsche Tinnitus-Stiftung. He is the only luthier that studied with Hans Reichel\, the inventor of the daxophone\, a thin hardwood strip played with a bow which sounds somewhere between a badger and a cello. Daniel’s instruments have traveled the world\, and are played by musicians in Canada\, USA\, Norway\, Germany\, France\, Japan\, Denmark\, Kazakhstan\, and Australia. In 2015\, Daniel formed The Daxophone Consort\, the USA’s only ensemble dedicated to realizing new compositions and performances with this instrument. In 2016\, Daniel was awarded a Project Grant from the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage to stage his lifework Composing the Tinnitus Suites on a large scale. In 2022\, Daniel was awarded the P.I.G. prize from the Art Foundation of Danish designer Henrik Vibskov. Daniel received his MA in Music Composition from Wesleyan University and studied privately with composer Maryanne Amacher and with multi-instrumentalist Mark Stewart. He has taught seminars on instrument design and electronic music at Bard College and the Cooper Union. He is currently a PhD Candidate in Composition and Computer Music at the University of Virginia.

SUMMARY:Our Stories of Migration: A Family Playtime Experience
DESCRIPTION:Date: Sunday\, December 8\, 12:00 – 4:00 pmLocation: RSVP to info@fluxfactory.org for venue information. \n\n\n\nJoin artist Natalia Nakazawa for a collective playtime experience centered around textiles and storytelling\, stemming from the ongoing project\, Our Stories of Migration.  \n\n\n\nOur Stories of Migration details human movement through art objects and storytelling. Participants are invited to embroider their own ancestral\, present\, and future paths onto the surface of a world map tapestry\, which has been constructed with public domain digital images mined from major encyclopedic museum collections\, reconfiguring them as tangible objects for individuals to interact with through intimate encounters. Each image highlights a different object from the collection that embodies historical moments of cultural exchange. \n\n\n\nFamilies and friends are invited to engage in intergenerational conversations in this hands-on activity. We additionally invite you to participate in Flux Factory’s mutual aid infrastructures by bringing books for a book exchange\, clean and warm clothes for neighborhood donation\, and/or food for Flux’s community fridge.  \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to connect\, create\, and share stories as a family! We can’t wait to see you there! \n\n\n\nBioNatalia Nakazawa is a Queens-based interdisciplinary artist and educator working in painting\, textiles and social practice. A child of Latin American (Uruguayan) and Asian (Japanese American\, yonsei\, 4th generation) diasporas\, her work is deeply in touch with multi-generational cultural legacies. Natalia’s community-driven projects explore ideas of transnationality\, cultural identities\, storytelling\, archives\, and patterns of migration. Blurring the boundaries between education\, activism\, and art making\, each of her projects is based in collaborative processes\, inviting participation and collective imagining. In her jacquard textiles series\, the artist pulls images from the online open access collections with a focus on objects that embody historical moments of cultural exchange. Nakazawa’s work encourages critical engagement with personal histories\, utilizing the familiar\, warm format of the tapestry as a means of creating objects that can be simultaneously comforting and disruptive. \n\n\n\nNatalia received her MFA in studio practice from California College of the Arts\, a MSEd from Queens College\, and a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her work has recently been exhibited at Wave Hill (Bronx\, NY)\, Arlington Arts Center (Washington\, DC)\, Transmitter Gallery (Brooklyn\, NY)\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York\, NY)\, The Cleveland Institute of Art (Cleveland\, OH)\, Wassaic Project (Wassaic\, NY)\, Lafayette College Galleries (Easton\, PA)\, and The Old Stone House in Brooklyn (NY). Natalia has been an artist in residence at The Children’s Museum of Manhattan\, MASS MoCA\, SPACE on Ryder\, Wassaic Project\, Facebook AIR\, Interlude Artist Residency\, CAMPO Garzon\, Triangle Arts Association\, and Wave Hill Winter Workspace.

SUMMARY:Can It Be I'm Not Meant To Play This Part?
DESCRIPTION:RSVP to info@fluxfactory.org to reserve your seat \n\n\n\nCombining narration\, reenactment\, found footage\, karaoke\, animation and a sprinkling of augmented reality\, Li-Ming Hu’s Can it be I’m not meant to play this part? explores representation\, identity and cultural production through the artist’s experiences as a professional actor and emerging artist\, in conversation with key moments in the history of Asian American theater. \n\n\n\nLi-Ming Hu is an interdisciplinary artist and recovering actor from Aotearoa/New Zealand who is currently based in New York City. Often employing a carnivalesque sensibility\, her work engages with the imperatives of our high performance culture\, and draws on her experiences in the entertainment industry to explore the relationships between cultural production and the performance of subjectivities. She has an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and held residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, Flux Factory and the International Studio and Curatorial Program\, NYC.
