Flux-a-Thon in the Village Voice

Thanks to everybody who helped Flux Factory raise over $7500. Smiling Hogshead Ranch has already invited us back, so you'll see us next spring. Til then, check out 60 photos in the Village Voice, as well as evidence Lady Gaga accidentally showed up and donated, and think up what you'd like to bring to the parade next year.

Artificial Retirement Open Call

Artificial Retirement invites artists, researchers, and educators motivated by failure, imperfection, and destructive progression to create artworks, workshops, and performances. We are looking for creative practitioners who find beauty in encountered errors.

Debt Positive

For three weeks in June, Debt Positive invites you to bring interest to bear on indebtedness that is shared openly and not exclusively. Debt might be the fundamental basis of human relations, but today it is also tricky business. Individuals shun it, but organizations welcome it as a means to grow. Debt seems to drive the economy yet appears abstracted to absurdity.
