SUMMARY:A Divergent from the Magnetism of Whiteness: Dealing with the Hungry Ghost
DESCRIPTION:Pop-Up Exhibition – April 29 – May 2\nCurated by Denae Howard\n\nGarden Reception –> April 30\, 6 – 8PM EST \nRSVP FOR GARDEN RECEPTION \nOpen Hours\nFriday April 30\, 6 – 8pm\nSaturday & Sunday\, May 1 & 2\, 1 – 6pm EST \nDivergent – moving or extending in a different direction from each other. \nInvestigating divergent evolution and the collective subconscious of black artists. Tying strands of humanistic theory while contending with an imagined post capitalistic society. \n“Only within the open space created by dialogue whether conducted with our neighbours\, with history with nature or the cosmos\, can  human wholeness be sustained. We are not born human in any but biological sense\, we can only learn to know ourselves and others and thus be trained in the ways of being human. We do this by immersion in the ocean of language and dialogue fed by the springs of cultural tradition” – Buddhism Day by Day: Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda. \nMoving away from the norms of traditional communication and responding to the follies of society at large as we manifest new & erase old and now foreign traditions. (Ie: wearing covid masks and adopting body cams – while arguing over Kim K’s choice to wear cornrows and her and white magazines identify them as boxer braids) <Understanding the use of pedagogy and pedigree – while identifying who is actually protected under diplomacy> \nThis show is a conversation between black artists establishing self identity in the crux of the absolutisms associated with Blackness while defying the devices nature of the white gaze. \nParticipating Artists\nARTSCHOOLSCAMMER | Marq Bentley | Mikey Burns | INEZ THE Sun – Nija Inez |  Kesiena Onosigho | Wokie Masaquoi | Ajani Russell \nA Divergent from the Magnetism of Whiteness: Dealing with the Hungry Ghost is supported by the Flux Factory Rhizome Project. The Rhizome Project is a commitment to give intentional space to Black voices\, and provide a platform for Black narratives by offering the support needed to help these narratives thrive and evolve.

SUMMARY:Don’t Let It Slip Through Your Fingers: Solo Exhibition by Dario Mohr
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nThursday\, May 6\, 5 – 8pm\nFriday\, Saturday & Sunday\nMay 7\, 8 & 9\, 1 – 6pm \nOpening Reception\nMay 6th\, 5 – 7pm EST\nAt the Windmill Community Garden\n(Across from Flux Factory)\nRSVP HERE\n \n\nAudience members are invited to participate in a letting go ritual using a grief journal that will sit on a podium during the reception. \nArtist Talk & Conversation\nMay 7th\, 5pm– Via Zoom\nInterview and conversation with the artist\nRSVP HERE \nExhibition Description\n“Don’t Let It…” “Slip Through…” and “Your Fingers” includes three acrylic painted and assembled works that are inspired by the loss of a cherished object. Objects are endowed with the power of reference by the signifier. This can include memories\, philosophies and in some cases\, a spiritual connection. Very often when an object is lost\, so too are the memories that they inspire. This can leave us spiraling into despair and grief.\n\n\nThis work was created in an attempt to fill this void by memorializing what was lost\, and serve as an example of the power objects have over us: how we process their loss\, create something new to continue their legacy and deepen the emotional power that the original object stood in for. \nArtist Bio\nDario Mohr is a New York City based interdisciplinary artist. Born in 1988\, Mohr received a BFA from Buffalo State College\, and an MFA from The City College of New York. He creates interactive sanctuary experiences using an interdisciplinary approach.  In addition to work created in painting\, sculpture or made digitally\, he often includes assembled objects to build immersive “sacred spaces”.  These often exist in unexpected places\, using mundane objects.  Because objects are endowed with the significance that the viewer blesses it with\, his work can provide a lot of space for divergent perspectives and interpretations.  The recycling of old work is also fundamental to Mohr’s practice. You will see previously created paintings and sculptures as well as the reuse of objects\, textiles\, cushions and other elements in future works.  Sometimes a previously used item provides the perfect juxtaposition to enhance or add depth to new explorations. In addition to his individual art practice\, he is also the founder and Director of AnkhLave Arts Alliance\, Inc. which is a non-profit for the recognition and representation of BIPOC artists in contemporary art.

SUMMARY:Cada Cabesa Es un Mundo: Solo Exhibition by Diego Espaillat
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Dates: May 15 – 23\nGallery Hours*\nSat & Sundays\, 1 – 6pm\nWeekdays by appointment\nEmail maya@fluxfactory.org for appointments \nOpening Reception\nSaturday May 15\, 3 – 6pm\nAt the Windmill Community Garden\nRSVP Here \nArtist Talk via zoom\nWednesday\, May 19\, 7pm EST\nRSVP Here \nJoin Flux Factory Artist-in-Residence Diego Espaillat for the culminating exhibition of his Residency. \n* Please note: Masks inside the gallery are required. \nExhibition Description\n\n\n\n\n“Cada Cabesa Es Un Mundo\,” a phrase often used by one of Diego’s Uncles in Dominican Republic\, is offered as a framing for the sculptures in this exhibition. Concerned with the lineage and evolution of Spanish Caribbean mask-making and culture\, Diego Espaillat seeks to insert himself into the often-changing art form by working through the forms in his personal fashion. \n\n\nThe mask-making histories are relatively new\, still evolving\, and grow out of a mix of traditions\, including Spanish Catholic holidays and Yoruba spirituality. In creating these pieces\, Diego uses the laborious traditional paper mache process\, reframed through his own creative style. These masks are not made to be worn\, they are instead sculptural objects. By committing himself to the specific lineage of this metamorphic art form as a diasporic member of Dominican culture\, Diego adds his lived experience to this unfolding tradition and explores his own identity through process. \n\n\n\nThe ceramic pieces in the exhibition are situated in the long tradition of earthenware\, and recognizing that Spanish-American-Caribbean culture remains connected to its pre-Colombian roots. Again\, Diego seeks to develop novel understandings of tradition by engaging with form\, process\, and history from a personal perspective. \n\n\n\n  \nArtist Bio\nDiego Espaillat\, born 1994 graduated from Lyme Academy College in 2017. He currently lives and works in New York City. Diego is a sculptor whose work is inspired by objects and activities that collide between the Caribbean & New York.

SUMMARY:To Hold Water: Solo Exhibition by Anika Todd
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours*\nFriday\, May 28\, 5 – 8pm\nSaturday – Monday\, May 29 – May 31\, 1 – 6pm \nArtist Talk\nFriday\, May 28\, 5pm ET\nAnika Todd will speak about the history of the view from above.\nRSVP Here \nLive event During the 29th Street Block Party\nMay 31\, 2–6pm\nThis event is part of the exhibition Din Din\, a series of free\, socially-distanced outdoor public events which use food and art to build community. \nYou can read more about the Block Party here. \nWindow Screening\nMay 28 – 31\, After Dusk\nVideos from To Hold Water will screen in the front window of Flux Factory at 39-31 29th Street\, LIC\, NY. \n*Please note: Masks inside the gallery are required. \nTo Hold Water\nTo Hold Water is an exhibition that considers the paradox of ownership. Presenting a challenge to Western traditions of private property and surveillance\, the works investigate the implications of the human impulse to survey\, to organize\, and to control in an effort to understand that which is uncomfortably unknown.  \nThe video work at the exhibition’s center\, Self Portrait\, exposes the implications of a traditional god’s-eye-view. While one camera submerges into the murky waters of the East River\, a second flies on a set of balloons above Wall Street\, creating a two-channel video that tracks the artist’s efforts to extend sight. The humble technology of the balloons shifts our experience of the conventional “God’s eye-view” characteristic of military and government-controlled technologies. The unsteady image of the work subverts this customarily controlled top-down perspective\, creating a portrait of precarity in the effort to understand oneself and one’s world from above.  \nArtist Bio\nAnika Todd (b.1992\, Boston\, MA) received her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design\, and her MFA from The University of Texas at Austin. Todd is a sculptor/media artist investigating landscape and ownership; Todd’s work functions through acts of trespass — simultaneously enacting and challenging systems that oppress\, compartmentalize\, and own in order to control. Todd’s work has been presented in solo exhibitions at VisArts Center\, Richmond\, VA and Co-Lab Gallery\, Austin\, TX featured in the Washington Post (2018) and Glasstire (2019) respectively. She has been selected to participate in numerous residencies including Salem Art Works (2017)\, Haystack School of Craft and Design (2018)\, and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2019).

SUMMARY:Din Din: Quick Slice by Lily Baldwin
DESCRIPTION:Nightly Screenings Beginning at DuskLocation: 39-31 29th St\, Long Island CityLily Baldwin’s film installation “Quick Slice” will screen every night in Flux Factory’s front window with free slices every Friday in June (limited pizza! First come\, first serve). \nThis event is part of the exhibition Din Din\, a series of free\, socially-distanced outdoor events which use food and art to build community. \nFilm Description\n“Quick Slice”\, 23 minutes on loop\, 2019 \nTHINGS AREN’T WHERE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE. \nNine lonely strangers converge over a quick slice inside a casual\, no bullshit\, non-committal community hub— the pizza shop. When a “contaigent” enters\, dance turns inconsequential moments into idiosyncratic gestures\, toggling between task and choreography. A subtle\, disorientating use of editing techniques and photographic devices manipulating time craft a visceral and sonically rich dreamscape. \n“Quick Slice” scales to respective environments\, utilizing available architecture and unsuspecting surfaces. Caught between the character’s gaze\, the viewer catches shards of the story projected onto their body. These seemingly accidental screenings encourage an unadulterated and kinesthetic reception of the project. \nInspired by Netta Yerushalmy’s Paramodernities Directed by Lily BaldwinProduced by Brighid GreeneEdited by Lily Baldwin\, Sara SowellVideo installation design consulting by Joseph SeamansSound Mix by Mark degli AntoniCinematography by Ben WolfAssistant Camera Sanjay SinghStills by Courtney DenkHair by Takeo Suzuki|Makeup by Hiro YonemotoMakeup Assistant Ken SuzukiFeaturing designs by PavonProduction Assistants Rishauna Zumberg\, Jaanelle Yee \nStarring Lily Baldwin\, Henry Chesley\, Geneva Frazier\, Dean Melaas\, Toni Melaas\, Katharine Padulo\, Wally Padulo\, Angie Pittman\, Peggy Schneider\, Gus Solomons Jr.\, Amy Meisner Threet \nThanks to New York Live ArtsFiscally sponsored by Los Angeles Performance Project \nArtist Bio\nBased in NYC\, Berlin and LA\, Lily Baldwin is known for her compelling\, intricate narrative forms. Her works have screened at festivals including Sundance\, SXSW\, Berlin\, and Venice\, as well as at Lincoln Center\, the V&A Museum\, and Carnegie Hall to Anthology Film Archives\, Judson Church\, and Blue Stockings Bookstore.
