SUMMARY:Parade of the Species
DESCRIPTION:Parade of the Species is an art show and parade celebrating the ecology of Governor’s Island. The parade will proceed in a loop starting and ending at Soisson’s Landing.  \n\n\n\nPuppeteers\, visual artists\, musical performers and more will make a brilliantly colorful procession in costumes and displaying art depicting the island’s species (oysters\, hawks\, squirrels\, lichen\, etc). \n\n\n\nThe art show will take place at Colonel’s Row House 404\, the Flux Factory residency. Paintings\, installations and costumes from more than 30 New York artists and many Governor’s Island artists in residence will be on display. The 174 species observed by island goers and confirmed on the iNaturalist website will make an appearance in the art.  \n\n\n\nThe parade and show were conceptualized by Sally Beauti Twin at her LMCC Governer’s Island residency and will be realized via Flux Factory. The theme of all the associated events will be celebration\, inclusiveness\, ecological conservation\, environmental protection and sustainability.  \n\n\n\nParticipatory events associated with the parade include:  \n\n\n\nMay 21\, 12-5pm\, Soft opening for art exhibition related to the species of the island May 22\, 2-4pm Paper mache costume making class (parade prep) May 28 (Flux Saturday)\, 12-5pm opening party with musical performancesMay 29\, 2-4pm\, Open house for costume making for the parade June 4\, 2-4pm\, Parade on Governors Island June 11th\, 4-6pm\, Costume Ball June 12th\, 4-6pm\, Show Closing \n\n\n\nBio of Organizer: Sally Beauty Twin is a trans-woman artist living in New York City. Her practice includes creation and curation of visual art\, music\, and theater. In October 2021\, she curated a three day performance art festival on Governor’s Island with Flux Factory at House 404\, which included theater\, poetry\, dance\, music\, puppetry and more. Included was a three weekend fine arts show which she curated. Hundreds of events she has curated can be seen at www.amphoranewyork.com. Her art has recently been shown at Tomato Mouse Gallery\, Spring/Break Art Fair\, and in July at Mizuma and Kips. She received her arts education at Tulane University.  \n\n\n\nThe canvases Sally paints are frequently small and packed with detail and jewel-toned hues\, reflecting her generous spirit. Sometimes they are on the scale of theatrical backdrops and are sometimes used that way in the hundreds of performative events she curates. Curation at the intersection of quality and diversity is very important to Sally. A fifteen year New York resident\, she is from New Orleans\, where her family started Mardi Gras parades. Her artwork and curation pairs New York City’s high standards with New Orleans’s festiveness and surprise.

SUMMARY:Creekworthy Opening: Films\, Puppetry & Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:Rain delay date will be June 11 @ 8:00pm – 11:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCreekworthy is an event series taking place through the warm-weather months of 2022 on the Newtown Creek and in Hunters Point South Park. Creekworthy’s first installation will feature a selection of looped films related to this location\, boat tours to U-Thant Island with on-boat puppet show\, and temporary tattoos measuring the Creek’s filthiness. \n\n\n\nRSVPs are now full for boat rides to U-Thant Island & puppet show by Raine Trainor. The entire outdoor space is wheelchair accessible\, and please inquire to nat@fluxfactory.org with accessibility questions for boat rides. Be advised that the nearest subways are quite a walk from the kayak launch. \n\n\n\nParticipating Artists include Nate Dorr\, Cody Ann Herrmann\, Nathan Kensinger\, Sindhu Thirumalaisamy\, Raine Trainor\, and Virginia Wagner. \n\n\n\nAbout the artists and their artworks:\n\n\n\nVirginia Wagner’s The Mothers is a new 2-D animation projected onto a floating screen\, reflecting onto the creek as an imperfect double. The video follows an old woman who holes herself up in a large house on the water. She grows into the architecture as nature reclaims the house. Wagner’s work examines the tension between humans and the natural world. Raised in a family of biologists and trained as a scientific illustrator\, she has a unique perspective from which to observe the psychological and physical effects of our quickly changing planet. She has recently been commissioned by National Geographic to create a series of paintings about climate change for a polar passenger ship and by the Guggenheim Works & Process. \n\n\n\nRaine Trainor’s Tour Guide is run by unhinged puppets who consume the black mayo at the bottom of Newtown Creek for lunch daily. Inspired by that sustenance\, the journey will take fellow seamen around U Thant/Belmont Island—Manhattan’s tiniest artificial island nestled in the shadow of the UN. Blending fact and fiction of the ever-changing physicality of the space\, the guides will provide a filtered history of the past and present. The tour adrift\, just an ear shot from the FDR\, will range from the fluid ontology of the waterways to the layered existence of the micronation island. Native cormorants will look on as striped bass munch below\, giving an alternate experience of this precious jewel of landmass. Raine Trainor has been sailing the New York waterways for 9 years\, creating experiences and work within and without the East River.  \n\n\n\nSindhu Thirumalaisamy’s Afterlife\, an excerpt of The Lake and The Lake dwells in the peripheries of Bellandur lake in Bangalore\, where the act of observation is interrupted by flying foam\, noxious gases\, daydreams\, and questions from passers-by. The 2019 film won the jury award for Best Documentary at the 58th Ann Arbor Film Festival. Sindhu Thirumalaisamy is an artist and filmmaker whose work centres (un)common spaces and the possibilities for speech and action with/in them. Sindhu has worked in relation to hospitals\, parks\, streets\, kitchens\, temples\, mosques\, lakes and roadsides—spaces that hold potential for collective resistance and care. \n\n\n\nNathan Kensinger and Nate Dorr’s Reclaimed Ground is a 2016 documentary film documenting the wild landscape of Hunter’s Point South\, which was completely demolished in 2016. At our event\, the artists will project selections from this video onto surfaces within Hunter’s Point South Park\, highlighting the species and green spaces that existed here before the park was built. Nate Dorr and Nathan Kensinger have been collaboratively documenting the waterfront of New York City for the past 16 years. Nathan is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores forgotten waterways\, environmental disasters\, and coastal communities endangered by sea level rise and climate change. Nate Dorr is a filmmaker and photographer working in the margins of the urban landscape\, where deep interactions between architecture\, ecology\, history\, and socioeconomic systems become more visible. \n\n\n\nCody Ann Herrmann’s Citizens Water Quality Testing Temporary Tattoos measure levels of enterococcus in the Creek. High concentrations of enterococcus typically indicate the presence of combined sewage overflows (CSO)\, and that people should avoid touching the water. Cody Ann Herrmann is a New York City based artist and community organizer with an interest in participatory design methods\, public space\, and urban resilience. Since 2014 Cody’s work has revolved around her hometown of Flushing\, Queens\, creating a series of projects critiquing policy related to land use and environmental planning in areas surrounding Flushing Bay and Flushing Creek.

SUMMARY:Solstice Pop-Up Group Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition open hours are on Saturdays (June 18 & 25) 12pm-8pm\, Sundays (June 19 & 26) 11am-5pm \n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Flux Factory’s projects on Governors Island. \n\n\n\n\n\nSolstice is a convening of eleven artists in celebration of the Summer Solstice\, the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere\, and the first day of summer. Each of these artists engages with light as a central component of their work\, and this exhibition celebrates the sun and the energy that makes all life possible on Earth. Artists in this show use a multitude of light sources\, which are then reflected\, refracted\, gathered\, captured\, directed\, shattered\, lensed\, and bent into new form. \n\n\n\nParticipating artists include: Valeria Divinorum – @valeriadivinorum | Magali Duzant – @magaliduzant | Rita Jimenez – @iritadescent | Night Shining – @_nightshining | Camilla Padgitt-Coles – @ivymeadows | Steven Pestana – @stevenpestana | Sophia Sobers – @sobers__ | Jonathan Sims – @chromadetic | George Stadnik – @geostadnik | Testu Collecathantive – @testucollective | Anika Todd – @anikatodd \n\n\n\nSolstice is curated by Jonathan Sims\, a New York City based visual artist. ​​His visual arts practice is characterized by geometric abstractions and light. A consistent premise underlying his work is that a modern human’s relationship with the very ancient past is mirrored in their relationship with the distant future.

In her anthology documentary\, Sound Spring\, residents of Yellow Springs\, Ohio become actors lip-syncing to their own interviews\, narrating their village’s role in American history over hundreds of years. Her 16mm shorts include Paco\, the story of a man who wants you to bounce on his lap. With this film and all her others\, Catalina Alvarez gets to know her neighbors. \n\n\n\nPatrick Topitschnig is an Austrian filmmaker and audio artist whose works also include collaborations with theatre projects. \n\n\n\n“A kind of black humor pervades Patrick Topitschnig’s videos. Like in the horror-movie genre he works with audiovisual situations which affect the bodies of the spectators\, provoking an uncertainty\, sometimes a slight restlessness. Precisely composed images expose their own constructedness and testify to the artist’s interest in cinematic duration. Occasionally\, this duration becomes a metaphor for the literal “lifetime” of protagonists\, objects\, and buildings. All aspects of cinematic sound – a composed score\, music\, spoken language – are used to reflect the connections between image and narration creating a very specific atmosphere\, whereas the “real“ backstory of a work is often revealed much later\, be it the history of an abandoned salt mine in Romania or a portrait of a high-tech funeral home in Australia.“ – Claudia Slanar
