SUMMARY:Artist-in-Residence 2021 Open Call
DESCRIPTION:APPLY HERE\nDeadline: December 14\, 2020\, 11:59 EST \n2020 has been a complicated and challenging year for all of us\, including Flux Factory. To ensure the safety of our community\, we have not invited any new residents since we shut down in March. By adhering to public health guidance about how to be together safely\, we are excited to be able to invite a limited number of new Artists-in-Residence to join the Flux Factory family in 2021. \nThe Flux Factory Residency grew organically out of a DIY artist’s collective founded in 1994 in an old spice factory in Brooklyn. Flux is now happily nestled in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens\, New York. \nJoin our mailing list or follow us on Instagram to ensure you don’t miss a beat! \nScroll down to learn more details about Flux Factory’s Residency…\n* Please note that due to COVID19\, safety protocols will be in place that may change some of the below information. For more information about specific COVID19 protocols please email Maya@fluxfactory.org \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails on Residency\n\n\nClick here to read the info page in French or Spanish \n\n\nResidency \nSince 1994\, Flux Factory has offered an informal\, artist-run\, and collective residency program comprised of a changing community of creative collaborators\, including (but not limited to) artists\, community organizers\, urban agriculturalists\, educators\, curators\, builders\, game designers and musicians. As a community\, we value communication\, co-creation\, accountability\, experimentation\, and safe space. \nWe offer short & long-term residencies\, work facilities\, as well as direct exhibition and programmatic opportunities. Since introducing our formal residency program in 2009\, hundreds of cultural producers from all over the United States\, South Africa\, Myanmar\, Turkey\, Italy\, Germany\, China\, France\, Mexico\, Denmark\, Russia\, Chile\, Lebanon\, South Korea\, Taiwan\, Peru\, the Ukraine and more! Flux’s history as a DIY family is deep in our DNA. Residents collaborate and learn from one another to realize new works\, propose and produce our public programming\, and have equal input in the overall direction of the organization. \nDuration \nOur open call for Fluxers is posted twice a year. In 2021 we are inviting artists for residencies of 3 – 6 months. \nProgramming \nArtists-in-Residence are the originators of Flux Factory’s programming\, including most of Flux Factory exhibitions and public programs. All residents are given an allotted amount of days in the gallery to have a solo show\, curate a group show\, host a panel or forum or use it as extra studio space. Flux Factory provides a stipend to each Resident for their public presentation\, or to research or produce new work. Each year we have four month-long exhibitions curated by Residents and other Fluxers\, as well as an annual Artists-In-Residence exhibition. \nFacilities \nFlux Factory residents are free to use all facilities and resources\, as well as access to other city programs such as Materials for the Arts (two blocks away!). The building is equipped with a wood shop\, silk screen studio\, co-working office\, library\, kitchen\, large deck\, expansive gallery space\, and audio visual equipment. \nFluxhood \nAs a part of a community-run center for artists\, Flux Factory residents are asked to take part in the creation and maintenance of its facilities and programming. On Monday nights\, all Flux Factory residents and administrators attend a weekly meeting so that we may foster a sense of community and discuss the evolving needs of the program. \nResidents are asked to put in volunteer hours toward the maintenance of the space and a weekly chore. A constantly changing physical and social environment\, Flux is always a work-in-progress\, and there are many opportunities to leave one’s mark. \nCriteria \nThe Flux Factory residency is tailored to American and international cultural producers of all stripes\, social activists\, academics\, and anyone who’s creative\, adventurous\, and willing to come to New York City to create new bodies of work that are informed by their experience here. We are especially keen to have artists who have a socially collaborative art practice\, and have experience working collectively. \nSelection \nResidents are selected through our Open Call application process. Applications are reviewed by Flux Factory administrators and current residents. Prospective residents with standout applications will undergo an interview via Skype or in-person at Flux Factory\, if within a reasonable travel distance. \nCost \nThere is currently no individual financial support for a studio\, monthly fees for studios range from $725 to $1030 a month\, in addition to utilities. Flux Factory will write letters of invitation for grants and other funding opportunities\, and share opportunities for additional resources if available. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact us at maya@fluxfactory.org \nAPPLY HERE \nPARTNERSHIPS \nWe are pursuing relationships with funding organizations interested in sponsoring individual artists to partake in Flux Factory’s Artists in Residence program.  If you are a supporting organization interested in hosting artists at Flux Factory\, please contact us. \nRECENT RESIDENCY PARTNERS\nARoS Public\nArt Quarter Budapest\nArtiste En Residence\nNew York Foundation for the Arts\nResidency Unlimited\nTaipei Cultural Center in New York\nTrust for Mutual Understanding\nUOB Art Academy\nUkrainian Institute

SUMMARY:A Familiarity That WARMS: New Work by Layo Bright and Kamari Carter
DESCRIPTION:A Familiarity That WARMS:\nNew Work by Layo Bright and Kamari Carter\nNovember 6 – 16\nIn person in the Flux Factory Gallery\, 39-31 29th street\, LIC\, NY* \nOpening: Friday November 6\, 6 – 9pm \nFriday November 6 – Monday November 16\nBy Appointment Only\, email maya@fluxfactory.org \nA Familiarity That WARMS features recent works by Flux Factory alumni Layo Bright and Kamari Carter\, exploring themes of representation\, visibility\, and perception. With sensorial overloads of everything from mass media distractions to screen oriented communication we have been working to adapt to our new “normal”. Over the course of the year\, various national and global events have caused us to pause and reflect on ourselves\, societies and communities. These reflective moments have led to movements for collective action\, racial equality\, calls for solidarity\, and a refusal to be silenced. \nWith the exhibition title taken from “Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race” by Reni Eddo-Lodge; the artists use sound\, prints and installations to create a space for contemplation on issues affecting Black communities in America and the diaspora. Though both artists address different types of injustices to Black bodies—they utilize lines and patterns as a way of abstracting\, connecting\, and questioning our perception of and proximity to police brutality and migration. \n*All visitors are required to wear a face mask and follow social distancing guidelines. 4 people will be allowed in the gallery at one time.  We are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for everyone.
