Hold Me While I’m Naked
George Kuchar, 16mm, color, sound, 15 min, 1966
“A very direct and subtle, very sad and funny look at nothing more or less than sexual frustration and aloneness. In its economy and cogency of imaging, “Hold Me” surpasses any of Kuchar’s previous work. The odd blend of Hollywood glamour and drama with all-too-real life creates and inspires a counterpoint of unattainable desire against unbearable actuality.” — Ken Kelman

In The Street
Helen Levitt, Janice Loeb, and James Agee, silent, 15min, 1945
“In the Street,” a short, lyrical documentary film. The Streets of the poor quarters of great cities are, above all, a theater and a battleground.

Shannon Plumb, super 8, 3 min
Brooklyn Bridge, a girl and 3 socks…

On The Bowery
Lionel Rogosin, 20 mins, 1957
A mix of documentary and scripted footage on the Bowery, New York City’s skid row. Against a backdrop of men (and a few women) drinking in bars, talking and arguing, and sleeping on sidewalks, we have the story of Ray.

The Existentialist
Leon Prochnik, 10 min, 1960
Leon Prochnik’s study of non-conformity has a man walking through New York while the traffic and the city move about him in reverse!

Program at Flux Factory
On November. Every Wednesday.

Here’s the guideline for this one-month long film program: bad taste, saturated levels of color, heavy make-up, cartoonish characters, theatrical violence, domineeringly psychosexual women, larger than life pop art settings, & a healthy disregard for all forms of authority: religious, moral, legal, political, and last but not least, the authority of the established aesthetic tradition! And yes you can bring your mum: there’ll be make-up for everyone!

Admission: Free. Popcorn is on us. (more…)

About Anytime, Now. Somewhere, Here.

A couple of years ago, I found a diary written by a man named Henry sitting in a box on top of a stack of old books near Prospect Park. The diary contains thoughts and drawings for six structures meant to be built in and around Prospect Park. I’ve decided, in time, to build all six, using Henry’s drawings as a guide. Anytime, Now. Somewhere, Here: Peninsula, is the first. It contains a song written using diary entries and free copies of excerpts from Henry’s diary are made available to the public.

This project is part of the NYC Department of Parks & Recreations 40th Anniversary of Art in the Parks

Stefany Anne Golberg was reared in a Science-fearing household in an overlarge house in Las Vegas, NV. She received a BA in Philosophy from Eugene Lang College at the New School for Social Research and has an MFA in Music/Sound from Milton Avery Graduate School of Arts, Bard College. Stefany is a founding member and Executive Director of the arts collective Flux Factory.

—Excerpt from Henry’s journalI had a curious dream. I was in the park, alone, completely alone, at that moment between light and dark, and I felt in the dream, I felt that I was waiting for darkness to come but it didn’t…all around the park, I saw these strange constructions, by the carousel, on Sullivan Hill…In the dream I counted six in all…And when I awoke in the morning, with the dream as fresh in my mind as any waking thought I had ever had, I said to myself

I AM A CABINET

Secret Clubhouse #2
DATE: Friday, October 19th, 6:00pm
PLACE: LMCC, 125 Maiden Lane, NYC, NY 10038
ADMISSION: Free

The artists in Secret Clubhouse #2 received a key to the LMCC space at 125 Maiden Lane. They alone listened to the phone messages from Secret Clubhouse #1 but never went to that space. Listening to the messages, they created graphical representations of and responses to the descriptions they heard. The events at Secret Clubhouse #1 were thus translated through verbal descriptions to the artists at Secret Clubhouse #2 and now take on a second life on the walls of 125 Maiden Lane. Including works from: Sarah Glidden, Andrea Dezsö, Daupo, David Sandlin, Eun-Ha Paek, Lauren Berke, Fay Ryu

In Secret Clubhouse #1, a still-unrevealed location in a warehouse in Long Island City, artists have been working for six months. Each artist received a key to the space but had no idea what they would find. Each artist was given two weeks to produce work based on whatever was left behind by previous artists. None of the artists know each other, yet each has the same task: to solve the unfinished aesthetic ‘problems’ left behind and create new challenges for the next artists. As they work, they leave phone messages on an answering service explaining what the space looks like as they’ve found it, what they have changed, and why.

Special thanks to Radhika Subramaniam and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council for their support of this project. And special thanks to The Believer Magazine, which will publish a story about the project in the coming year.

Imagine Coney Island’s Dreamland, Steeplechase, and Luna Park reborn. Imagine a sea monster in the East River, a volcano erupting in Manhattan, Midtown in ruins. The contemporary brownstones of Cobble Hill buried beneath its original namesake hill, a big whale in the place of the Museum of Natural History, and The New York Crystal Palace returned to 42^nd Street.

In short, a New York City that is the forgotten past and the fantastic future all at once. A New York City where anything is possible.

New York, New York, New York is an interactive, multimedia installation. It is a continuation of Flux Factory’s interest in urban landscapes and takes inspiration from the Panorama, Robert Moses’ scale model of New York City in the Queens Museum of Art. Members of the Flux Factory art collective will work in collaboration with over 100 artists from all five boroughs and around the world to re-imagine the public and private spaces of New York.

Each artist will contribute a building, a landmark, a street, an avenue, a block, a park, a neighborhood, an expressway, a bridge, an island, an airport—one or several elements of the urban environment. All of these individual works will be combined to produce a cohesive yet chaotic installation, a multimedia, scale-model of the city. Instead of being an exact replica to scale of the city of New York, this project offers a mental map, a replica of an imaginary New York. The goal of the show is to explore the architectural and conceptual elements of everyday space. It is an investigation into the collective unconscious of the cultural capital of the planet: The sum of all of New York’s potential exposed in a great experiment in psychogeography.

Parfyme Deluxe attempts to intimidate Flux Factory!!!! Click to watch!!!

But Fluxers are hard to scare!!!!

Parfyme Deluxe challenges Flux Factory to a true-blue capitalist competition. The dueling art-enterprises will divide Flux Factory, creating DeluxeFactory. The two factories will race to out-produce and out-sell the other. Each week will be a new product(s) assignment, demanding the entrepreneurs radically alter their factories and production methods. Each collective will hit the streets to deliver their innovations. Fantastic delivery trucks, espionage and sabotage will be just some of the tricks of the trade. Whoever sells the most wins.

DeluxeFactory is a collaboration between New York/Copenhagen-based collective Parfyme Deluxe and Flux Factory.

DeluxeFactory: Bring your checkbook

Production Line
Hosted by Flux Factory, we will return Flux Factory to its original state - a factory. On conveyer belts, with big machines, a lunch-break whistle and on a 8-5 schedule, each group will go to work: producing objects, trinkets, and curios. For three weeks, at the end of each week, right on schedule, rain or shine, we will load up our truck and peddle our wares throughout New York City.

A Three-Part Perfect Competition
As any production unit, we will be judged by the market and the costs of production. What market and what costs? - The rules and conditions will change for each new product: what is available for input, output, distribution and purpose. Constraints of all kinds will force each factory to apply new procedures and strategies to become successful. The fate of the products will be determined by consumers.

The Factory
The Flux Factory space will be divided: half for Flux, half for Deluxe. Neither outfit will be able to see the other, but above each factory will be a foreman’s catwalk, allowing spectators to walk over each factory, monitoring production, critiquing diligence. A few choice products will not be shipped out, but will go to two Factories’ showroom, where, despite the possibly grim working conditions of the Factories, the products will be displayed tastefully, bathed in futuristic lighting.

Competition
Each outfit will work to dominate the market, attempting to drive the other out of business - or just stay afloat. We see in this show a very meaningful way to expand the way artists work together, as individuals and as groups, by working in a competitive atmosphere while needing to collaborate. By putting pressure on each other and creating a sense of interdependence, well both explore the means by which each artist produces and creates objects and working methods.

Annie Reichert swears she is from Seattle, New Jersey, and Ohio. Annie enjoys photography, eavesdropping, gold paint, fake blood, avocados, good storytellers, and talking about building things. Professionally she keeps busy but rarely profits from it: her pictures have been published in USA Today and US News & World Report for free! As an artist, she is interested in making oblique references to her childhood, hoping that no one will notice. Annie has a BA in Photography and Film Theory from Antioch College. These days she is working in photo (digital & darkroom), video, costuming, and cooking. Annie has surprisingly soft hands and wishes she could tell lies better and less often.

Flux Factory - Sziget Festival, Budapest
Summer 2007

Welcome to the city of lofty courtyards, flying gardens, and earszikha!

Click to see DOCUMENTATION OF OUR WORK HERE IN BUDAPEST

This summer, Flux Factory partners with the Hungarian Cultural Center in New York and a group of Hungarian artists and architecture students from the Szent József Studió Kollégium to bring the Pavilion for the City of Budapest New York to the 2007 Sziget Festival in Budapest.

Taking its cue from two ride/exhibitions from the 1939 New York World’s Fair—GM’s Futurama and the iconic Democracity—the Budapest New York pavilion will be a mechanical ride that takes visitors around a scale model of the imaginary city of Budapest New York. The model will blend architectural elements from both cities to create a cityscape that is tantalizingly recognizable yet entirely unique.

The festival runs from August 8-15 and we will be in Budapest for 5 weeks building, so if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by and drink some pálinka with us. And don’t forget to follow documentation of the project starting in July on the Hungarian Center website.

The project is also co-sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Stadium Reverberator Tour with artist duo eteam
On June 9th, 2007 we’ll test the reverberant effect of the deserted Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ.

Looking at the stadium from above, it reminds of a huge loudspeaker. Unfortunately this loudspeaker hasn’t been used in a long time. On Saturday we will try to use this dormant possibility and trigger a composition, which will be created through knocking, jumping, scratching and clapping on the outside walls of the stadium. These sounds and movements will be captured on video and later on edited into a musical composition. Once this process is completed, options for screening the music video are: inside the Hinchliffe Stadium, the Paterson Museum, Ivanhoe artists mosaic and other venues in the NYC metropolitan area. Refreshments and snacks will be available.
