Each of these sculptors\, installation artists\, and performers incorporate light as a central element of their practice. To celebrate the darkness of the midnight sun\, the typical gallery lighting will be removed and the Flux Factory gallery plunged into blackness. To celebrate the coming return to longer days\, all light in the space will emanate from the LEDs\, digital projectors\, fiberoptics\, and incandescent bulbs in the artists’ work– reflected\, refracted\, directed\, and lensed into being. \nInstallations:\nLuba Drozd\, Laurent Fort\, Sizhu Li\, Lindsay Packer\, Ksenia Salion\, Jonathan Sims\, \nOn December 21\, the night of the winter solstice\, four artists will present audiovisual performances that push the boundaries between the digital and analog media:\nÉMU\, Night Shining\, Paloma Kop\, Testu Collective

SUMMARY:Know The Ways: Solo Exhibition by Marjan Verstappen
DESCRIPTION:Know The Ways:\nSolo Exhibition by Marjan Verstappen\nFriday January 17 – Sunday January 19 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, January 16\, 7 – 11pm\nOpen Hours: Friday\, Saturday & Sunday\, 1 – 6pm \nPlease share this event on Facebook \nA solo exhibition by Flux resident Marjan Verstappen\, Know The Ways is a critical exploration of colonial understandings of the frontier\, as received through the abstract landscapes of Florence Martin. A virtually unknown contemporary of the Transcendentalist painting group\, Martin destroyed her paintings in the 1960s during a crisis of faith. Using x-rays and rare historical photographs of the paintings\, Verstappen has recreated a collection of Martin’s major works. Through these actions\, Verstappen explores deep spiritual and cultural conflicts within Martin’s paintings\, and ultimately\, the legacy of guilt and greed within settler relationships with the land.

SUMMARY:Good Morning\, India!
DESCRIPTION:Image description: A decaying wall mural of the Indian flag\, gold on the top a blue wheel in the middle and green on the bottom\, with a pile of rubble and bricks on the bottom. from Bangalore circa. 2014.\nSaturday\, January 25\nMedia Making Workshop\n11am–4pm \nArtist talk by Sindhu Thirumalaisamy\n4pm \nPlease share this event on Facebook\nThis workshop is open to people of all ages and backgrounds but an RSVP is required. Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to maya@fluxfactory.org \nInquilab Zindabad! \nThe spirit of resistance is alive in India. The forces of facism are met with the love\, care\, humor\, and strength of a newly forming people’s movement. For a month the whole nation has been in protest against Hindu supremacist laws that suppress the basic rights of several minority groups\, particularly Muslims. Sounds and images have been a vital part of this resistance. WhatsApp memes\, songs\, music videos\, kolams\, and a range of posters have flooded our imagination\, describing the nation that we want to live in. Join us for a workshop and talk with Flux resident Sindhu Thirumalaisamy where we will listen\, view\, read\, and contribute to the resistance with sounds and images. \nPrior to the talk\, the Flux Factory gallery will turn into a workshop for media making. Do you want to make a poster? A meme? Want to record a video? A song? Want to learn how to draw a kolam? Want to chat with about what is happening in India and beyond? We will gather materials\, equipment\, and people to help make all of this happen! \nSindhu Thirumalaisamy is an artist working across sound\, video\, text\, and installation. She is a participant of the Whitney Independent Study program in 2019-20. Sindhu holds an MFA in visual art from the University of California\, San Diego\, is an alumnus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, and a fellow of the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar.
