Date + time: Thursday, January 24th, 8 pm – 10 pm Location: 29-27 41st Avenue, Long Island City In this last Flux Death Match, we'll wade through the murky waters of arts funding. Where should the money come from? Who should it go to? And what happens to the art when they get it? Steve Lambert, Alexis Clements, and Deborah Fisher will help us figure it out.
Opening Reception: January 18th, 6pm - 8pm Exhibition Dates: by appointment, through 1/21/13 Using non-linear narrative imagery that’s part fashion and part mythology, Phuc Le explores identity and relationships with family, community, and physical space.
It’s an all Flux resident crew this month: Artists-in-Residence Maria Pecchioli, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Marco Castro, and Stephanie Avery will talk about their recent and upcoming projects, and Alex Nathanson will perform his multimedia project with violinist Dylan Neely.
You should definitely come for the art, but all the treats our generous sponsors have donated will help make this an even more spirited evening.
Maria Pecchioli (1977, Florence) - graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in 2002, her artistic research deals with painting, photography techniques and video. In February 2009 she graduated in Visual Art and Curatorial Studies at NABA, Milan
Flux Factory exhibitions expand the creative experience beyond the typical gallery setting and result in the creation of newly commissioned work. We are seeking proposals for our four thematic exhibitions in 2013: The Wonder Cabinet, Kitty City, Untitled (As of Yet), and Curatorial Carte Blanche.
Alex Nathanson is a creator and organizer of images, sounds, and events. His practice is based in collaboration, intentional communities, and a DIY ethos.
Help us celebrate an exciting year at Flux Factory with a silent auction of over 75 works by artists from our extensive community, including Center for Tactical Magic, Ghana Think Tank, Jude Tallichet, Jason Eppink, and Shantell Martin. We will honor Martha Wilson of Franklin Furnace and Shelley Rubin of A Blade of Grass for their work in supporting artists who engage with diverse audiences and interests.
This year Flux wants to help you give the best gift ever: our very own 2013 (Wo)(Men) of Flux calendar. Each suggestive portrait showcases 13 different Fluxers’ roles. Sometimes silly and sometimes naughty, this calendar reveals one thing for certain: Fluxers are hot.
Flux Factory is one of 832 non-profit organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant. Flux Factory is recommended for a $10,000 grant to support exhibitions organized through our Curator-in-Residence opportunity.
