SUMMARY:Opening Reception · Solo Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Flux IV for the opening reception of two solo exhibitions\, Ethan Shoshan: For Those Without A Tribe and Wallace Dos Santos: Cherry Blossom Girl on Tuesday\, November 17 from 6 – 9 PM\, with remarks at 7 PM.  \n\n\n\nFor Those Without A Tribe centers on a series of large-scale hooked rugs depicting the rooms and objects of the historic Lower Manhattan building on Greenwich Street where New York-based artist\, activist\, and social ecologist\, Ethan Shoshan\, lived alongside the artist Geoffrey Hendricks and archivist Sur Rodney (Sur) for almost two decades. A social experiment for intergenerational living\, the Greenwich Street home became a place where art\, friendship\, history\, and everyday life were deeply intertwined. \n\n\n\nCherry Blossom Girl features a series of sculpturally framed paintings incorporating paper pulp made from recycled\, everyday waste. Reflecting on the nostalgia and sweetness of the Wallace dos Santos’s childhood in New York City\, the exhibition explores how a place becomes imbricated with the people\, memories\, architectural details\, and recurrent encounters that shape our lives.About the Artists \n\n\n\nEthan Shoshan is an artist\, activist\, curator\, writer\, and social ecologist based in New York City. Living independently from an early age taught him care\, resilience\, and the importance of community. These values continue to shape his art. Working across media\, his practice bridges creativity and social engagement\, shedding light on inequity and belonging. Behind the scenes\, he supports activist and cultural communities as a technical consultant\, seeing no separation between sustaining art and sustaining people. Shoshan has exhibited widely and led programs for queer and unhoused communities. His work transforms personal and collective histories into acts of connection and possibility. \n\n\n\nWallace dos Santos (b.2000) is a Brazilian-American artist born and raised in Brooklyn\, NY. They work in painting\, papermaking\, and sculpture to explore architectural and psychedelic realms. They received their BFA from The Cooper Union\, and currently work in Queens\, NY. Wallace has been a resident at the Ox-Bow Longform Residency\, haul gallery Raised in Brooklyn Residency\, and the Vermont Studio Center. Wallace is a 2026 NYFA Queens Art Fund recipient.AccessibilityFlux IV is located on the ground floor of 56-21 2nd Street\, Long Island City\, NY 11101 between the Queens Landing Boathouse & Environmental Center and Gotham Point apartments.

SUMMARY:The Tide Between Us
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a summer on Cape Cod\, The Tide Between Us is an interdisciplinary musical performance exploring the relationships between sound\, water\, storytelling\, and human connection. \n\n\n\nBringing together traditional sea shanties\, barbershop harmonies\, solo saxophone works\, voice\, and a crystal glass sound bath\, the performance moves between collective singing and individual expression. Drawing from maritime traditions\, folklore\, and contemporary instrumental music\, the program offers a varied listening experience that ranges from spirited ensemble singing to intimate solo performance and immersive sound. \n\n\n\nThrough music\, movement\, and shared listening\, The Tide Between Us invites audiences to consider the ways we connect with one another and the world around us\, presented as part of For Those Without A Tribe. \n\n\n\nThe Tide Between Us ProgramDownload
