SUMMARY:Feralpy Workshops and Performances
DESCRIPTION:Join Flux for an afternoon of workshops and performances in conjunction with the Feralpy Group Exhibition. View more event details and RSVP for workshops and performances at Eventbrite. \n\n\n\nFilms and Performances:12pm-4pm: “Three Acts From Love” Performance by Anahit Pogosians4pm-5pm: Film Screening and Performances with Feralpy ArtistsKaty McCarthyShiloah Symone ColeyRebecca Patek \n\n\n\nIsland Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing by Katy McCarthy\, Digital video converted from Hi-8\, TRT\, 2023‘Island Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing’ is a video that takes its form from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)\, a psychotherapy that uses oscillating bilateral light and sound to help people heal from trauma. While watching the film\, the viewer’s eyes are constantly drawn left and right across the screen: a flying bird\, a ferry leaving the harbor\, bonfire smoke wafting\, a crab rolling. A soundscape pans left to right in time with the visuals. \n\n\n\n“Grief is…” and can I keep it in my pocketbook?\, by Shiloah Symone ColeyThe experimental animations\, “Grief is…” and can I keep it in my pocketbook?\, grew out of interviews with my mother and maternal grandmother\, Wanna. The interview process is a method for understanding\, connection\, and unearthing the unsaid or unheard. “Grief is…” bears witness to grief through the lens of two women. can I keep it in my pocketbook? started with family photo archiving\, grew to community archiving\, and explores a shared feeling – from the interior to the exterior. With deep gratitude\, I thank all those who trusted me with a piece of their family archive. To my mother and Wanna\, I love you endlessly\, forever\, and always. \n\n\n\nN Site by Rebecca PatekKey concepts and research will be presented addressing questions such as: \n\n\n\nIs there a physical site within the brain which\, if stimulated\, leads to emotional healing? Can this physical space be accessed and stimulated through movement? \n\n\n\nIs the body a repository of stored trauma\, a flesh passageway to freedom\, or a laboratory for direct observation of cause and effect? \n\n\n\nCan we undo consequences of bad decisions through a kind of willful amnesia? How can we make it like it never ever happened? We can’t because time seems to only move in one direction. Why does time go only one way and why is that way towards chaos? \n\n\n\nthe audience will leave the presentation with tangible and concrete tools to pursue their own healing.5pm-6pm: Film Screening and Performances with Feralpy ArtistsLZ GrandersonNova Scott JamesBlack Butoh\, loud visuals of silence by LZ GrandersonBlack Butoh is an experimental\, movement-based short film using the Japanese art form of Butoh to navigate the anxieties of being a Black man in the United States. \n\n\n\nIn an article titled “Raising a Black Boy to Not Be Afraid\,” Nicole Fleetwood navigates an all-too-familiar narrative for parents raising 12-year-old black boys in the US— one filled with\, well\, fear. The one-liner that triple-dog-dared me to make Black Butoh\, read\, “The violence done to Tamir Rice [sic] was not only his death but the silencing of his voice.” Black Butoh asks if the black body can speak for the voices that have been silenced. And like raising a Black boy to not be afraid in the US— it tries it’s damned hardest. \n\n\n\nBlack Butoh\, in many ways\, outlines the mounting tension leading up to recent protest. Like Butoh\, It’s mourning\, it’s triumph\, it’s fear in celebration\, it’s a call to action\, it’s anxiety filled bones\, it’s dynamic\, it’s still\, it’s life before death\, indeed\, it is a peephole into life itself. \n\n\n\nNova: A New Spelling of My Name by Nova Scott-JamesA young artist\, born as Nicole\, but renamed Nova\, sets out on a healing journey on an indigenous sanctuary in upstate New York. Accompanied by the Wild Darlings\, a black + queer\, healing arts collective\, she transmutes the trauma of her past by performing in white-face as the male teacher that sexually abused her as a child. Premiered at Camden International Film Festival 2021\, screenings: 427\, ARoS Kunstmuseum.

SUMMARY:Feralpy Workshops and Performances
DESCRIPTION:Join Flux for an afternoon of workshops and performances in conjunction with the Feralpy Group Exhibition. View more event details and RSVP for workshops and performances at Eventbrite. \n\n\n\nWorkshops:12pm-2pm: Listening With\, with Grace WoodardIn this workshop we will connect to our bodies\, the environment\, and one another through listening\, sounding\, and moving. We’ll explore a series of site-specific scores developed to guide participants through embodied listening and creative collaboration — listening and responding to the inner as well as the outer world. By practicing these non-verbal modes of care and conversation with self and other\, we aim to cultivate a sense of presence and shared resonance.2pm-4pm: BIG FEEL DANCE Movement workshop with Nicole MannarinoDO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE MORE FREEDOM IN YOUR BODY THROUGH DANCE? \n\n\n\nDO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF A HIGH ENERGETIC WORKSHOP WITH OTHERS? \n\n\n\nJoin NYC based artist Nicole Mannarino for her BIG FEEL DANCE workshop where we will gather in community for an energizing and invigorating movement experience. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, no previous movement experience necessary to attend. \n\n\n\nWear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in.2pm-5pm: Tree+OysterAn interactive installation that aims to cultivate cultural intimacy through intersectional decolonization practices\, Tree+Oyster create ritual loops to stoke embodied memory and resist historical erasure. Through myth making and tool use\, they facilitate small groups in building bridges from land to sea\, imagining sustainable ecologies. \n\n\n\nWith the aim to cultivate space for collective trust and shared dreaming\, Tree+Oyster arrive with non verbal communication and play to shed anthropocentric perspective and facilitate opportunities for emergent ritual. \n\n\n\nTree+Oyster merge archipelagic Indigenous mythologies from the Dominican Republic and the Philippines in order to stoke memory\, resist erasure\, and generate new mythologies. With curiosity to discover cross-cultural parallels in land-water relationship between Indigenous communities and their own personal decolonization research\, T+O engage in immersive research deepening their relationship to land and community. From this foundation\, they facilitate creative gatherings bridging inner and outer ecologies — a practice in tuning our personal\, communal\, and digital relationship to the landscape. \n\n\n\nSite-specific gatherings consist of co-creation exercises and games\, sensorial ceremonies\, body mapping\, collective altar building\, and musical forest jams. Seasonal elements\, i.e. sand\, soil\, and vegetation\, inform the location and structure of interactive installations. These onsite activations create a generative mediated space for communal storytelling. Rooted in the study of Indigenous histories\, local-to-global community\, and ecology\, Tree+Oyster aim to build a cross-cultural campfire generating warmth\, in empathetic pursuit of sustainability.4pm-6pm: “Bring Your Own Brat” Workshop with Sacha Vega“Bring Your Own Brat” stems from the craving to perform a tantrum in the face of conditioned modes of being\, moving\, and seeing. The workshop is facilitated by Sacha Vega and is part of ongoing studio experiments in expressions of personal needs. Through a series of shared movement exercises and writing prompts we will explore the archetype of the brat as a means to probe at moralized choreographies in our lives. Whether your brat emerges through foot stomping\, vocal exclamation\, a written decree\, or total refusal – all are welcome. No previous dance or performance experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Bringing Worlds Together: A Rethinking Residencies Reader
DESCRIPTION:Bringing Worlds Together: A Rethinking Residencies ReaderLaunch EventPioneer Works159 Pioneer Street in Red Hook\, BrooklynSunday\, August 13\, 2023\, 4:00-5:00 pm \n\n\n\nBooks will be available for purchase at the Launch Event\, and can be pre-ordered here. \n\n\n\nFounded in 2014\, Rethinking Residencies is a network of New York–based artist and curator residency programs. The group generates knowledge and resources\, anchored together in cooperation and collaboration. Bringing Worlds Together: A Rethinking Residencies Reader is the first anthology on art residencies published in the United States. It is a companion to the Rethinking Residencies Symposium\, which invited artists\, curators\, scholars\, and residency organizations to address residency programs as critical sites of research and production within the visual arts. The eleven essays and three conversations in Bringing Worlds Together reflect on art residencies at present—at a time when residencies play a critical role in art’s ecosystem. They address a cross-section of ideas about residency programs\, bound together by a deep concern for the care and ethics that go into shaping residency programs and hosting artists and curators. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCommissioning Editor: Rethinking Residencies \n\n\n\nEditors: Kari Conte and Susan Hapgood \n\n\n\nAuthors: Nova Benway\, Eve Biddle\, Jamie Blosser\, Tania Candiani\, Viviana Checchia\, Kari Conte\, Christina Daniels\, Robin Everett\, Dylan Gauthier\, Susan Hapgood\, Galen Joseph-Hunter\, Jeffrey Kasper\, Irmeli Kokko\, Catherine Lee\, Eileen Jeng Lynch\, Sally Mizrachi\, Howardena Pindell\, Sanna Ritvanen\, Nat Roe\, Mierle Laderman Ukeles\, and Nicholas Weist \n\n\n\nGraphic Design: Esen Karol \n\n\n\nSize: 8 ½ x 5 ½ inches \n\n\n\nPage Count: 128 \n\n\n\nPublication Date: August 13\, 2023 \n\n\n\nEdition Number: 1st edition \n\n\n\nISBN: 978-1-7320876-3-7 \n\n\n\nPrice: $25 USD Paperback and Free Digital PDF and EPUB \n\n\n\nHard copies can be purchased here. \n\n\n\nDigital publication: rethinkingresidencies.org

SUMMARY:All That Is Seen And Unseen Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join Flux for an Artist Talk with Amelia Marzec in conjunction with their exhibition\, “All That Is Seen And Unseen.” \n\n\n\nFor additional information: ameliamarzec.com \n\n\n\n“All That Is Seen And Unseen\,” a solo art exhibition by Amelia Marzec at Flux Factory on Governors Island\, opens Saturday August 19\, 2pm-5pm. The exhibition presents a collection of objects on the topic of a “queer technological Eastern European diaspora.” \n\n\n\nThe installation includes: shrines that broadcast coming out stories over Family Radio Service; a typeface inspired by an AI’s opinion of early Slavic writing systems; a sculpture that listens for military aircraft through a radio hidden in a folk art ceiling decoration; and digital photographs that depict the body in ritual garments from Pagan marriage and Catholic priesthood. \n\n\n\nSoftware with imagery based on traditional papercuts\, depicting women’s bodies\, weapons\, and pre-Christian symbols\, will be shown. It will also be projected on church buildings and institutional architecture during the run of the show\, in conjunction with the Island Luminaria exhibition. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, a virtual reality piece will be presented at Harvestworks. It is a walking simulator filled with impotent paper-doll tanks. \n\n\n\nAmelia Marzec is a Brooklyn-based artist engaging with communications infrastructure to inform a speculative future. Her work has been exhibited at SIGGRAPH\, MIT\, ISEA (Canada)\, University of the Arts Helsinki (Finland)\, ONCE Foundation Contemporary Art Biennial (Spain)\, NODE Forum for Digital Arts Biennial (Germany)\, and is part of the Rhizome ArtBase. She was a resident at Eyebeam\, Ox-Bow\, and Harvestworks; a fellow at NYSCA/NYFA\, A.I.R.

SUMMARY:Artists Formerly Known as Prints Opening
DESCRIPTION:Join Flux for the opening of the Artists Formerly Known as Prints exhibition. \n\n\n\nAugust 26-October 1\, 2023Location: Upstairs\, Colonels Row House 404AOpening: Saturday\, August 26 12-6pm \n\n\n\nThe idea for this show began with a group of artists who at some point considered themselves to be printmakers. As their practices have evolved to include conceptually driven multi-faceted projects and access to facilities have come and gone their prints have often taken a back seat\, tacked up in a corner or shoved away in a cardboard box. This exhibition is an opportunity to embrace the playful discoveries inherent in the printmaking process and showcase prints that these artists might not typically prioritize. \n\n\n\nIn printmaking\, when an image is transferred from a matrix to a new surface (often paper) there is a suspenseful\, yet magical moment of transformation and the artist lets go of control of the image giving it fully over to the process. For centuries artists have been producing prints\, often editions of prints\, that run parallel to their primary practices. Perhaps\, this trusting of the process is part of what has drawn them to do so. Printmaking allows for a materially driven thought process which can generate imagery and ideas in a physical and freeing manner. A type of thinking which artists in the flux community apply to all types of making. Artists Formerly Known as Prints celebrates these printmakerly works that often get brushed to the side. \n\n\n\nEvents:2-5pmThis Saturday from 2-5pm\, Jonathan Sims will be at the Flux Island space sharing The Elements\, a newly emerging and constantly evolving form of divination/fortune-telling. This cleromantic system uses dice to generate random numbers and translates them into universal themes\, inviting participants to interact with abstract form\, themselves\, and each other. \n\n\n\nParticipating Artists:Itala Aguilera\, Amir Badawi\, Maureen Catbagan\, Abby Cheney\, Sarah Dahlinger\, Christina Freeman\, Caitlin Foley\, Louis Leung\, Cayla Lockwood\, Jemila MacEwan\, Caitlin & Misha\, Will Owen\, Ethan Shoshan\, Jonathan Sims\, Tray Tsui\, Sally Beauti Twin\, Roopa Vasudevan\, Asya Yaschenko\, Jevijoe Vitug.

SUMMARY:Ink Outside the Box Opening & Print Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Join Flux for an the opening of Ink Outside the Box with a print demonstration by the artist. \n\n\n\nAugust 31-September 21Opening: Thursday\, August 31\, 6-9pmPrint Demonstration: 6:30-7:30pmRSVP for visiting information here.Reach out to christina@fluxfactory.org about gallery opening hours. \n\n\n\nInk Outside the Box is a solo exhibition of prints developed in Taiwan and New York City by Louis Leung. Through ink and wash experiments\, the artist breaks through the limitations of traditional ink forms to explore new possibilities of artistic creation. Leung’s practice is centered on trial\, patience and inquiry while playing with motifs of time and space. His ink paintings depart from the usual and mundane\, offering a glimpse of a leap-frog like imagination. By resolving\, refining and rebuilding unique visual images\, a spontaneity emerges\, representative of his inner and outer world on paper. \n\n\n\nLeung graduated from the School of Design of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and is now a Hong Kong graphic and visual artist. His artwork Between:- has won the “2019 UOB Ink Art of the Year Award” and Gold Award\, Landscape or Figurative (Open Category) at the year 2019 UOB Art in Ink Awards; while his another artwork Amidst:- has been selected for the “Ink Global 2020 Exhibition”. He has participated in various exhibitions in Hong Kong\, Shenzhen\, Taipei\, Paris and Toronto. \n\n\n\n@louis_artopus
