SUMMARY:Closing • FILAM Fashion Show & Artist-Led Exhibition Tours
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the second-to-last weekend our current exhibitions\, Xyza Cruz Bacani: The Diaspora is Home and Maureen Catbagan: Alagaan ang Salaysáy\, closing November 2. On October 26\, Xyza Cruz Bacani and Maureen Catbagan will lead walkthroughs of the current shows\, followed by a fashion show by ParadoxVestedRelics\, accompanied by the electronic rock duo Turbo Goth.  \n\n\n\nFilipino baked goods and snacks will be served\, sponsored by Arellano Pandesal and we will be joined by community organizations Chhaya\, Filipino-American National Historical Society\, and Ascend Applied Behavioral Analysis. \n\n\n\n3:00 – 3:30 pm — Tour with Xyza Cruz Bacani \n\n\n\n3:30 – 4:00 pm — Tour with Maureen Catbagan \n\n\n\n4:00 – 4:30 pm — Fashion Show by ParadoxVestedRelics (PVR)PVR’s fashion manifestos propose a complete wardrobe of 12 looks\, in theory one per month of the year\, to complete a theme or concept. Our 18th manifesto\, titled FILAM\, unite Filipino and American cultural parallels and paradoxes through flashbacks of a nomadic childhood in the US\, an adolescence in Manila\, and adulthood in NYC. We present 12 looks that are familiar yet peculiar\, sacred yet universal\, and stem from personal experience. You’ll meet lola\, manong\, my classmate\, the nurse\, Carrie\, and the Manananggal\, among others. \n\n\n\nParadoxVestedRelics is a brother-sister duo (Paolo and Rina Raymundo) whose interdisciplinary approach to a prolific range of creative projects have amused and intrigued\, flying under the radar since their return to NYC via Manila in 2002. Rina’s experience in the entertainment industry and Paolo’s background in fashion have led to an art installation at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and video art shown at Boston Center for the Arts. Paolo encourages community building as a co-host of swap meets\, free events\, technical workshops and art performances at Vers::clothing for people. With a motley crew of contributors\, PVR has combined fashion\, film\, photography\, performance\, and music to produce work that explores identity\, function\, and the sociology of youth and sub cultures through a Filipino-American lens. They are always excited for new applications to bridge extremes by finding understanding in cultural parallels through fashion\, craft\, and art.Turbo Goth is a NYC based\, electronic rock duo from the Philippines. Formed in 2008\, Turbo Goth is composed of Sarah Gaugler (on lead vocals) and Paolo Peralta (on guitar/electronic sampler)\, they were originally the only electronic rock duo in the Philippines at the time. Turbo Goth’s music is semi-experimental electronic music with distorted bass synths backed by aggressive heavy beats\, and guitars\, stitched together by light vocals. Turbo Goth has had numerous performances in the Philippines and at Music Festivals in Asia\, but after their show at South by Southwest in 2014\, they decided to relocate\, for a broader audience\, finding a new home in New York by the end of that year. Turbo Goth’s notable international performances are 2011 Baybeats Music Festival in Singapore\, 2012 CAMA Festival in Hanoi Vietnam\, TURBO GOTH opens for OMD”History Of Modern” Manila 2012 at the Araneta Coliseum. 2014 South by Southwest in Austin Texas\, 2015 CMJ Music Marathon in Brooklyn New York\, 2016 Move Music Festival in Albany New\, 2016 Northside Music Festival Brooklyn New York\, 2016 Indie Week Toronto Canada and SXSW 2017\, 2019 Official Showcasing Artist.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Lotte Van den Audenaeren
DESCRIPTION:realities are messy & in it i am: a rock. or a wave / / /// //surface comma & 2 gallons of natural spring water \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Lotte Van den Audenaeren\, autonomy comma a future / / // //// / // //// \, later & beyond (2026). \n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Mandatory. Flanders House New York at The New York Times Building requires a government-issued ID on entry. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for a pop-up exhibition of Lotte Van den Audenaeren. Van den Audenaeren will present a selection from indigo series (2023)\, featuring posters made from raw denim. In a transformation process\, the fabric is gradually altered\, cut\, and washed. Details\, changes\, and delicate cuttings become strikingly visible\, revealing damage and breakages readable in delicate traces — notes on meticulous attention and care.  \n\n\n\nLike membranes\, the denim surfaces encapsulate change\, delineating the processes and presence of movement or force; as opposed to materials such as glass\, which capture time in as a volume (mass from within) and in whose viscous phase it becomes possible to draw\, move\, and shape before it cools into something hard\, solid\, and irreversibly fragile. It is precisely this moment that is indicated and captured in O series (2017 – present) by minute O-shaped movements\, resulting in an unfinished series of glass marks\, singular representations of the momentary. \n\n\n\nProgramIntroduction and interview by Melinda Lang\, Director of Programs and Exhibitions\, International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP)Works On Viewindigo series:a rock under water multiple rhythms\, indigo series (2023)focus on things that almost weren’t there\,  (2023)no for an answer (2023)ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok (2023) O series:o no (2026)o indigo denouement (2026)& comma anew (2026) print edition\, 100 copies 2 gallons of natural spring water\, (2026) water\, containers \n\n\n\nAbout the ArtistLotte Van den Audenaeren makes works that illuminate the material dimensions of time as it takes shape in patches of natural sunlight\, transient sounds\, swathes of fluorescent fabric\, or decaying natural objects. With an artistic practice that is open to the intentions & durations of her materials\, she works with time as though it were a strip of celluloid film—parsing\, fixing\, & editing the fleeting moment through material processes such as bronze casting\, glass blowing\, ceramic firing\, & photography.

SUMMARY:Opening • 502 Bad Gateway: Error is Shadow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Error is Shadow\, a solo exhibition by artist duo 502 Bad Gateway on Thursday\, August 6 from 6 – 9 PM\, with a brief artist talk at 7 PM. \n\n\n\nError is Shadow explores the legacy of structural and cultural decay\, monuments of shame\, trans-civilizational communication\, and post-human adaptivity. Mankind’s desire to justify its narrative purpose leaves it with only self-referential answers to impossible questions\, building elaborate protocols that favor controllable results over truth. Through a network of paintings\, sculptures\, a narrative film\, and a roguelike deckbuilder game\, the work plays upon the human tendency to create needlessly complex systems when faced with the perilous unknown in an attempt to govern the ungovernable. Error is Shadow adds another forking branch to the wired network of conceptual storytelling that has been the cornerstone of 502 Bad Gateway’s artistic practice.About the Artist \n\n\n\n502 Bad Gateway (@502.bg) 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. \n\n\n\nTheir work has been displayed in solo exhibitions at T293 gallery in Rome\, Sof:Art gallery in Bologna\, Flux Factory in New York\, and as part of a group show at AROS art museum in Aarhus\, Denmark. They have performed on stages at the New Museum’s DEMO Showcase in Manhattan\, ZeroSpace in Brooklyn\, Standard Vision Studios in Los Angeles\, and many underground New York venues. Their performance practice includes solo audiovisual narrative productions as well as collaborations with Club Cringe\, Von\, Uffie\, Kevin Peter He\, Kink Out\, and Team Rolfes. \n\n\n\nWith 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.

SUMMARY:Opening • Itinerant Signal Institute (Rite of Spring)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Itinerant Signal Institute (Rite of Spring)\, a solo exhibition by Amelia Marzec on Thursday\, August 6 from 6 – 9 PM\, with a brief artist talk at 7 PM. \n\n\n\nItinerant Signal Institute (Rite of Spring) is a fictional institute and installation\, grounded in techno-ecological art. The story of the Institute is told through sculpture\, digital images\, internet art\, microcontrollers\, and scientific displays. In it\, creatures have emerged from the melting permafrost to join the Institute and return to modern-day cities to examine their climates. The creatures wear headdresses of bones and fossils\, inspired by Eastern European carnival costumes that denote the changing of seasons. They acknowledge the effect of human activity on the Arctic Circle\, and anticipate increasing climate migration due to military fuel consumption. The Institute tests for environmental toxins to identify places of relative safety\, through small hand-built quasi-scientific devices that test the air and soil. The work also addresses queer migration\, and re-defining the idea of home in the current political climate. It incorporates plant knowledge to influence the endocrine system\, reducing human desire for late-stage capitalism and war at a biological level. Sites tested by the Institute include former military bases\, including WWII sites in Europe\, and Newtown Creek\, the location of one of the United State’s largest oil spills\, where the artist’s family lived when they emigrated to New York City. The work evolves as the Institute installs servers in partner organizations  as the project moves from place to place.About the Artist \n\n\n\nAmelia Marzec is a New York based artist engaging with communications infrastructure to inform a speculative future. Her work has been exhibited at SIGGRAPH\, MIT\, ISEA (Canada)\, University of the Arts Helsinki (Finland)\, ONCE Foundation Contemporary Art Biennial (Spain)\, NODE Forum for Digital Arts Biennial (Germany)\, and is part of the New Museum’s Rhizome ArtBase. She has been a resident at Eyebeam\, Ox-Bow\, Harvestworks\, and ZK/U Center for Art and Urbanistics in Berlin. She was a fellow at NYSCA/NYFA\, A.I.R. Gallery\, a Tow Fellow at Columbia University\, a visiting artist at the Center for Integrated Media at Calarts\, a grantee of the Research Foundation of CUNY\, and a nominee for the World Technology Awards for Art. Her work has been featured in Wired\, Make\, Hyperallergic\, Neural Magazine\, Metropolis Magazine\, Creators\, Time Out New York\, and the front page of Reddit.

SUMMARY:Dark Matters Symposium
DESCRIPTION:“I plot dark sousveillance as an imaginative place from which to mobilize a critique of racializing surveillance\, a critique that takes form in antisurveillance\, countersurveillance\, and other freedom practices.”  \n\n\n\n– Simone Brown\, Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness  \n\n\n\nFlux Factory is pleased to present the Dark Matters Symposium at Flux IV\, featuring the work of Sherese Francis and Tom Tsai. Francis and Tsai were selected from a pool of over 50 applicants responding to the themes of surveillance\, anti-surveillance\, countersurveillance\, and the lived or inherited experience of “being watched.” Francis’s Oracle of Opacity (A Kwantum Performance) is a ritual sonic poetry performance and experimental reading inspired by Edouard Glissant’s concept of opacity (Poetics of Relation) and Octavia Butler’s practice of primitive hypertext. Tsai’s contemporary dance work\, A Fantasy of Having Home\, informed by hip hop battle sensibilities\, was created a decade ago to honor Taiwanese resilience in the face of unceasing threats of war. To meet the moment in 2026\, Tsai revives this performance and reframes it around Taiwan’s martial law period\, a time of political persecution enforced through extrajudicial arrests and killings\, secret police surveillance\, and imprisonment. \n\n\n\nIn Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness\, Simone Browne locates the conditions of blackness as a key site through which surveillance is practiced\, narrated\, and resisted. She shows how contemporary surveillance technologies and practices are informed by the long history of racial formation and by the methods of policing black life under slavery\, such as branding\, runaway slave notices\, and lantern laws. Placing surveillance studies into conversation with the archive of transatlantic slavery and its afterlife\, Browne draws from black feminist theory\, sociology\, and cultural studies to analyze texts as diverse as the methods of surveilling blackness she discusses. \n\n\n\nSymposium Program6:30 PM: Doors open – light refreshments served7:00 PM: Sherese Francis performs7:30 PM: Tom Tsai performs8:00 PM: 10-minute break8:10 PM: Talkback with artists\, moderated by Kamari Carter (Artist/Organizer) and Kennedy Hollins Jones (Curator/Writer)8:45 PM: Audience Q&A9:00 PM: End of event  \n\n\n\nAbout the ArtistsSherese Francis (she/they) describes themselves as an AlKyMist of the I-Magination\, finding expression through poetry\, interdisciplinary arts (collage\, book and paper arts\, sound and performance art)\, workshop facilitation\, editing\, and literary curation. Her(e) work takes inspiration from her(e) Afro-Caribbean heritage (Barbados and Dominica)\, and studies in Afrofuturism and Black Speculative Arts\, mythology and etymology. Sherese has published in a variety of publications\, including Obsidian\, Furious Flower and Women’s Studies Quarterly\, has published four chapbooks\, and edited a poetry anthology/guided journal\, Baby Suggs and a Purple Butterfly. Besides publications\, Sherese has had her(e) work featured in various exhibitions and showcases\, including from NY Live Arts\, York College Arts Gallery\, Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning\, Flux Factory\, Mercy Gallery\, LMCC Gallery on Governors Island and Ely Center for Contemporary Art. \n\n\n\nTom Tsai’s dance work spans stage\, filmmaking\, education\, and activism\, rooted in his Hip Hop\, contemporary dance\, and Taiwanese identities. Tom has performed his contemporary and B-boy solo works throughout the USA\, and internationally in London\, Mexico\, the Netherlands\, Portugal\, Sweden\, and Singapore. He has received support from the City of Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission\, Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant\, Ghost Light Residency\, and Dance Resource Center’s Homegrown Residency @ The Music Center. He is a 2-time winner at REVERBDance Festival (NYC)\, and a 2023 California Arts Council Individual Artist Fellow. Tom has been adjunct dance faculty at Pomona College\, Cal State Long Beach\, Cal State Fullerton\, Chapman University\, and NYU Tisch School of the Arts. \n\n\n\nAbout the OrganizersKamari Carter is a New York-based artist working primarily with sound\, video\, installation\, and performance. His practice circumvents materiality and familiarity through a variety of recording and amplification techniques to investigate notions such as space\, systems of identity\, oppression\, control\, and surveillance. Driven by the probative nature of perception\, Carter’s work seeks to expand narrative structures through sonic stillness and found objects. His work has been exhibited at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)\, New York; Perez Art Museum Miami\, Miami\, FL; Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Museum\, Providence\, RI; Mana Contemporary\, Jersey City\, NJ; Flux Factory\, Long Island City\, NY; Wave Hill\, New York; Fridman Gallery\, New York; and Automata Arts\, Los Angeles\, among others\, and has been featured in publications including Artnet\, Flash Art\, Hyperallergic\, and Whitewall\, among others. Carter holds a BFA from California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and an MFA from Columbia University. Kamari Carter is represented by Microscope Gallery in New York City. \n\n\n\nKennedy Hollins Jones is a curator\, researcher\, and writer based in Brooklyn\, NY\, whose practice is rooted in the Black radical tradition\, performance studies\, and literary theory.  Their work is drawn to explorations of the asymptotic\, or that which exceeds or meets infrastructural\, hegemonic\, and ‘normative’ limits\, and the elegiac\, or that which defiantly attempts to decry and bear witness in and to sites of ending. Kennedy is the curatorial assistant at the Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University and a member of the Archive Ensemble\, a group of arts workers\, scholars\, and cultural practitioners dedicated to fostering physical\, epistemological\, and political forms of gathering rooted in subaltern and errant modes of being. As the Whitney Independent Study Program Helena Rubinstein Curatorial Fellow\, they served as one of the curators for the 2025 capstone exhibition\, a grammar of attention.  Kennedy was also one of the co-curators of Archive’s presentation for the 2024 Dakar Biennale\, a flood is a remembering. They received their master’s in Public Humanities from Brown University and have supported the research\, curation\, and production of exhibitions and programs at SAVVY Contemporary\, NMAAHC at the Smithsonian\, Brown Arts Institute\, the Miami MoCAAD\, and MoMA.  \n\n\n\nClara Wiest is a Swiss multidisciplinary artist based in New York\, working across fabric\, sound\, installation\, and performance. Her practice includes stage direction\, movement direction\, and intimacy coordination. Her last solo exhibition explored heartbreak\, grief\, and care\, inviting participants to contribute their own creations and become co-authors of the evolving installation. Wiest’s work is rooted in a curiosity about the body\, spirit\, and the emotional dynamics within interpersonal relationships. Clara’s work has been shown at MASSMocA\, Edinburgh Fringe Festival\, The Brick Theater\, Denver Fringe\, BRIC Arts Media\, MITU580\, The Bushwick Starr\, IATI Theater. \n\n\n\nDark Matters Symposium is presented as part Kamari Carter’s 2026 NYSCA Fellowship.
