Flux Thursday: November 8, 2012
This month we'll hear from Flux Artists-in-Residence Aliya Bonar, Phuc Le, and Irene Lee, as well as Friend-of-Flux, Nathaniel Sullivan.
Stephanie Avery
Artist, art director, adventurer. Based in Toronto, in the great white north, Stephanie's art involves finding beauty in the grotesque, from installations made entirely of human teeth, to photographing abandoned buildings, to re-appropriating left-overs for time-based sculptures, and always with a dash of humour.
American Alien
New episodes posted: August 12th, September 9th, September 29th American Alien, a project developed by Flux Factory Artist-in-Residence Ye Taik, is designed to increase awareness of the Burmese diaspora and to serve as a platform for the Burmese American voice. Through interviews published as podcasts on the Flux Factory website, American Alien will address topics related to Burmese innovation and hybridity.
Cecilia Enberg & Christina Helena Romirer: In My Imagination, I Was Already Here
In My Imagination, I Was Already Here focuses on the city, its patterns, and grids. The exhibition title refers to a quote from Jean Baudrillard’s America: "I was here in my imagination long before I actually came here." A phenomenon that is especially connected to New York City, we explore the scene precisely before setting it.
Civic Savvy: Know Your Local Government
Election day is just around the corner, and there's much more at stake this year than the Presidential race. Join Lincoln Restler, Democratic District Leader from the 50th Assembly District, to learn all about local government in New York, who is responsible for what kinds of decisions, and most crucially, why it's important to vote in your local elections.
Domestic Revolution
Domestic Revolution is an interactive workshop series focused on different areas of domestic life: food, sewing/mending, bike maintenance & repair, and power tools. Learn how to fix a flat, build that perfect knapsack, make your own protein bars, and work that drill.
Flux Thursday: October 11, 2012
It's an all Flux resident crew this month: Curator-in-residence Sam Perry and Artists-in-Residence Angela Washko, Cecilia Enberg, Christina Helena Romirer, and David Spriggs will talk about their recent and upcoming projects.
The Loneliness of the Middle-Distance Runner
Flux Factory is pleased to present The Loneliness of the Middle-Distance Runner, a group exhibition that brings together film, photography, and performance works from Wales and New York City.
Vlad Smolkin
Vlad Smolkin’s work is generally concerned with the changing identities of objects across time. For Smolkin, the implications of a given material have to do not only with its physical properties or even its practical use in the world, but also with its historical provenance and exchange value.
