SUMMARY:Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Since Homer\, poets have turned to works of art—the artwork functioning as a muse\, or as a means by which the poet can critically examine something outside of the artwork\, using it as an entry point. But how does this classic writing technique relate to contemporary installation or process-based art? How can ekphrasis be applied to immersive media environments where the veneration of a traditional art object is absent? Explore these questions with poet Ariel Yelen\, who will provide readings\, conversation\, and generative writing prompts for ekphrastic writing amid Flux artist-in-residence Kyung-jin Kim‘s solo exhibition\, Nothing Personal. \nOpen to all ages and levels of experience.\nPlease RSVP on Facebook \nAbove image an installation shot of Sincerely by Kyung-jin Kim\, 2017

SUMMARY:Nothing Personal - Solo Exhibition by Kyung-jin Kim 
DESCRIPTION:Solo Exhibition by Artist-in-Residence Kyung-jin Kim \n \nOpening reception\nFebruary 1st 7pm – 10pm \nGallery Open Hours\nFriday\, February 2nd\, Noon – 6pm\nSaturday and Sunday\, February 3rd – 4th\, noon – 4pm\nMonday\, February 5th\, Noon – 6pm \nRSVP on Facebook \nKyung-jin Kim (b. South Korea) is a process-oriented artist. He utilizes diverse media to approach the substance of liminality inherent to dislocation\, translation and adjustment. His method looks to scattered encounters with networks and systems of data\, and to how this experience shifts with proximity\, as well as the motions and elisions of one’s memory. Kyung-jin intentionally misuses existing virtual representation\, translation and surveillance technology to measure the blindspot between information and subjective understandings. Through sculpture and models\, video projections\, and interactive sound installations\, he inducts a sense of what cannot be known through palpable lapse and void. \n \n‘Nothing Personal’ is an interactive installation where the voice and position matters. In this built environment\, every component influences its surroundings. The project focuses on how we communicate and highlights the areas in which nuance is blurred and communication and intention break down. The devices change their environment depending on the participant and the participant’s physical position in the space. \nThe sounds you make and the conversations you have will be picked up\, amplified and transformed into a visual realm. The sense of private and public boundaries will be blurry and blended together playing with notions of an ideal equilibrium.  \nDuring the show\, sound-triggered tools will be open to the public to use freely as an open mic.  \nwebsite: www.kyung-jin.com

SUMMARY:Utopia School
DESCRIPTION:Image by Lena Hawkins\nJanuary 25th – 29th\nPlease RSVP on Facebook \n FULL SCHEDULE \nUtopia School is an ongoing project that shares information about both failed and successful utopian projects and work towards new ones. For us\, utopias are those spaces and initiatives that re-imagine the world in some crucial way. The school engages and connects people through urgent conversations\, with the goal of exploring\, archiving and distributing collective knowledge throughout this multi-city project. Over time\, we will create a comprehensive open curricula on utopian thought and practice. Some examples of what we will be studying include physical places\, relationship dynamics\, systems of organizing\, political contexts\, common roadblocks\, and the methods used to create and sustain these projects. \nUtopia School is hosting a 5 day pop-up school from January 25th – 29th focused on the practical aspects of opening a new community space in New York City and/or the northeast USA. This will be an opportunity to gather with like minded people interested in opening a long term space and begin to workshop\, and even carry out the preparatory steps to doing just that.\nThe January 2018 Session of the Utopia School is generous hosted by Flux Factory. \nFULL SCHEDULE \nLocation\, Flux Factory Gallery:\n31-39 29th street\nLong Island City\, NY 11101 \nPlease RSVP on Facebook

SUMMARY:(Re) mnants: Family Matters
DESCRIPTION:Schedule of Events \nJanuary 11th\, Thursday\nFlux Thursday: Performances by Illesha Khandelwal and Muse of Fire\, Traditional Louisiana style Seafood Gumbo made by my Grandma Shirley\, and quilt made by Zeelie Brown. \nJanuary 12th Friday\n7pm – 9pm Opening & Film Screening \nJanuary 13th\, Saturday\n1pm-6pm Gallery hours \nJanuary 14th\, Sunday\n-12pm -3pm Gallery hours\n–6pm Remnants: Family Matters \nArtist talk moderated by Atlanta based curator Martina Dodd & closing party. \nJoin sisters Martina Dodd and Monique Muse Dodd for a conversation about the artistic process and the short film Remnants. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n(Re) mnants is an interactive digital media installation\, chronicling visual artist and filmmaker Monique Muse Dodd’s journey into her ancestral and spiritual heritage. \n(Re) mnants is a conscious act of (Re) membering\, (Re) imagining\, and (Re) vering those who have come before us and still walk among us. \nAsking the questions “how do you remember\, and what do you choose to forget?” Muse pulls from African American quilt making traditions to use scraps of knowledge and traces of remembrance to fashion a clearer picture of her familial past/legacy. After tracing her lineage through a popular DNA testing site\, Muse was faced with the reality that ancestry is more than percentages\, and that although much of her ancestor’s stories were engulfed by the tumultuous tides of the Transatlantic slave trade\, their memories live within her. \n(Re) mnants is as much a film as it is a ritual. It is an ongoing preformative ritual of communing with ancestors\, whose names she doesn’t know\, yet whose spirits hold an everlasting influence on her life and artistic process. Utilizing video\, soundscape\, and projection mapping\, Muse refashions her family history to create a portal for participants to cross the boundary between the imagined and the biographical\, the physical and the spiritual\, the living and the ancestors. \n(Re)mnants is a memorial and a rebirth\, join as she opens a portal into the ethereal. \nPlease RSVP on Facebook\nwww.musefilms.co

After tracing her lineage through a popular DNA testing site\, Muse was faced with the reality that ancestry is more than percentages\, and that although much of her ancestor’s stories were engulfed by the tumultuous tides of the Transatlantic slave trade\, their memories live within her. \n(Re) mnants is as much a film as it is a ritual. It is an ongoing preformative ritual of communing with ancestors\, whose names she doesn’t know\, yet whose spirits hold an everlasting influence on her life and artistic process. Utilizing video\, soundscape\, and projection mapping\, Muse refashions her family history to create a portal for participants to cross the boundary between the imagined and the biographical\, the physical and the spiritual\, the living and the ancestors. \n(Re)mnants is a memorial and a rebirth\, join as she opens a portal into the ethereal. \nPlease RSVP on Facebook\nwww.musefilms.co
