SUMMARY:Opening • Itala Aguilera: Tierra Mojada (Wet Land)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Tierra Mojada (Wet Land)\, a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Itala Aguilera. Tierra Mojada (Wet Land) is a video performance project\, exploring modes of striptease in hand-made\, degradable garments designed by the artist. The clothes\, conditioned to dissolve or be ingested\, become the centerpiece of the performances. The exhibition unfolds as a series of garments\, each alongside their film. Using her background in textile design\, the artist bends the popular genre of the striptease\, combining the traditional ideas of beauty and seduction contained in historical clothing with experimental materials.

SUMMARY:Opening • Pickles & Concrete
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Pickles & Concrete\, an exhibition by Kosmologym\, Walker Tufts\, and Greg Stewart. Pickles & Concrete is a time negotiating kitchen laboratory where bacteria makes pickles & bioconcrete. Pickles & Concrete also examines human attempts to alter the flow of time. In the kitchen we freeze\, dehydrate and pickle foods to remove them from their usual cycle of decay. In contrast\, we freeze and thaw concrete to simulate the passage of entire seasons in a single day. Pickles & Concrete invites players to get tangled up in the time scales between food preservation\, building materials\, bacteria and geology in an attempt to re-story science.

SUMMARY:Vinyl Ain't Sheet no.1 
DESCRIPTION:The first composition of Vinyl Ain’t Sheet by Yo Vinyl Richie is performed by an ensemble of 4 turntables. The composition is scored for turntables\, guided from Scratch notation and TTM (Turntablist Transciption Methology) principles. The intention of the composition is to change everytime the piece is performed.  On December 6\, Vinyl Ain’t Sheet will be performed twice — once as intended by the composer\, the second as selected by the performers. Yo Vinyl Richie will also premier two new turntable works\, “Trying to carve my name into this table” and “Playing new music for new buildings”.  \n\n\n\nAbout the ArtistYo Vinyl Richie\, born in the Bronx and currently living in New York City\, is a composer and turntablist whose passion for the turntable began at an early age. Inspired by DJ competitions and parties as a child\, he honed turntablism techniques and embraced the turntable as his primary instrument\, both solo and in collaboration with others. Richie has showcased his artistry at esteemed venues such as Roulette\, The Kitchen\, Princeton University\, and Queens Town Hall. He is currently a Harvestworks TIP resident and also a recipient of the NYSCA 2025 grant as a composer. \n\n\n\nVinyl Ain’t Sheet no.1 is presented as part of the artist’s 2025 NYSCA Fellowship.

SUMMARY:First Look: Beyond Performance by Tray Tsui
DESCRIPTION:Following the unique journeys of queer\, trans\, and non-binary emerging performers in Brooklyn\, Beyond Performance\, a documentary project by Tray Tsui\, examines the creative process behind the creation of a drag act\, while offering an in-depth exploration of the thoughts\, motivations\, hopes\, fears\, and joys of gender non-conforming artists as they navigate the interior and exterior challenges of owning one’s gender presentation in a society rigid with gender norms. \n\n\n\n***Please note the time for this event has updated to start at 7:00 PM.*** \n\n\n\nBeyond Performance is presented as part of the artist’s 2025 NYSCA Fellowship. \n\n\n\nImage: Kayla Weaver/PixelJournalism.

SUMMARY:Shared Grounds x Chance Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:Register Here: https://withfriends.events/event/IBfaD7UM/shared-grounds-x-chance-ecologies/Please join us for Shared Grounds x Chance Ecologies\, a curatorial presentation and panel discussion looking at two exhibitions sited at Hunter’s Point: Shared Grounds (2025) and Chance Ecologies (2015). The evening brings artists and curators together to reflect on their projects and consider new potentials for artistic research and collaboration in Hunter’s Point; given the fruition of rezoning and development along the Newtown Creek in the past decade. This event is co-organized with Finnish Cultural Institute in New York (FCINY). \n\n\n\nParticipants\n\n\n\nIntroduction: Klaudia Ofwona Draber\, Director of Programs\, FCINYCuratorial Presentations: Catherine Grau & Nathan Kensinger\, Co-Curators\, Chance Ecologies; Meghana Karnik\, Co-Curator\, Shared Grounds / Curator & Exhibitions Director\, Flux FactoryPanelists: Dylan Gauthier\, Artist\, Chance Ecologies; Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow\, Artist\, Shared Grounds; Nat Roe\, Executive Director\, Flux Factory \n\n\n\nExhibition Histories\n\n\n\nChance Ecologies (2015) was a framework for artistic gestures and research projects exploring the un-designed landscapes and wilderness found in abandoned spaces\, post-industrial sites\, and landfills. The main trajectories of the project are to create research and discourse around the value of wild spaces in the urban environment; to document\, learn from\, and commemorate the naturally occurring ecosystems that are being lost to development; and to articulate contemporary readings of and new forms of relating to (urban) wilderness. The exhibition was curated by Catherine Grau\, Nathan Kensinger\, and Stephen Zacks. https://chancecologies.org/ \n\n\n\nShared Grounds (2025) was an experimental exhibition that gathered performative works by Carmen Balthazar\, Kastehelmi Korpijaakko\, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow\, Jemila MacEwan\, and Lotta Petronella—three Finnish artists and two New York-based members of the Flux Factory artist collective. Informed by eco-feminist thought\, the project speculates on placemaking via interspecies alliances and knowledge production\, and gives way to the potential for neighborly relations\, codes\, and customs in a public realm defined by humans and nonhumans alike. The exhibition was curated by Elina Suoyrjö and Meghana Karnik\, and co-presented by FCINY and Flux Factory. https://www.fluxfactory.org/shared-grounds/

SUMMARY:Closing Reception with Presentation by Pasha Cas
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Flux IV for the closing reception of our current exhibitions\, Itala Aguilera: Tierra Mojada (Wet Land) and Kosmologym’s Pickles & Concrete\, featuring a special presentation by visiting artist-in-residence Pasha Cas.Presentation: Pasha CasPasha Cas arrives in a space where the European myth of freedom has been materialized and transformed into a symbol of American identity. By exploring the urban environment\, monuments\, and people\, the artist seeks historical parallels and ruptures between promise and reality\, between the myth and its contemporary interpretation. \n\n\n\nUsing his own body as a tool for artistic expression\, he embeds himself into the city’s public and symbolic spaces. In these “gestures\,” the temporary is juxtaposed with the eternal\, and the personal with the monumental. The artist analyzes how myths and symbols created to affirm freedom lose their clarity and conviction over time\, lingering in the space between relevance and the loss of meaning. \n\n\n\nThe starting point of this exploration is the phrase “Give me liberty\, or give me death!” the political slogan delivered by Patrick Henry at a convention to gather support for a revolutionary break from England\, which subsequently became a myth. This phrase was never recorded in writing and has reached us through oral tradition\, making it fluid\, changeable\, and dependent on context. Over time\, it has transformed\, adapting to the era\, ideology\, and political climate.
