Homecoming
1-24 August 2014
Flux Factory, New York
Homecoming celebrates Flux Factory’s 20th anniversary, excavating the layers of artworks, inventions, and aesthetic mishaps that fill our labyrinthine building.
After two evictions, a move to Queens, hundreds of residents, a long overdue no-pet-policy, one shipwreck, two shantytowns, decades of beauty, wonderment, making the impossible happen, and only one stabbing, Flux is turning 20. Expect time capsules, a Going Places (Doing Stuff) revival in three acts, weather patterns, the entirety of Public Broad Fluxing, a new and improved kinetic sound sculpture door bell, and a few carte-blanches. Expect to get lost on Fluxiness. In other words, expect wonders.
