Fluxers in the World #4
Shane Heinemeier and Alison Ward left Flux in January to begin a non-profit arts and agricultural project titled Habitable Spaces in Kingsbury, Texas. Their goal is to build a sustainable farm and artist residency program that will act as a trading post, research outpost, and an experiment in collective living that will include public hands-on training sessions. They hope to be ready to receive their first artists in September, 2012. Habitable Spaces has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the construction of a kitchen pavilion.
