Open Stitch

Sat, 01 Oct 2005 00:00:00 -0500

Open Stitch was conceived and organized with Jessie Cohan. Fifteen artists spent seven days making wearable garments at Location One under restricted conditions: working only with the materials provided, away from their own studios, and under collaborative constraints that deliberately blurred the line between art and fashion.

Production was streamed live for the duration of the seven days. The finished garments and the video documentation were then installed in the gallery.

Impossible Tea Party

Wed, 01 Oct 2003 00:00:00 -0500

Performed in October 2003 at the DUMBO Arts Festival as part of its Water Art section: an experiment in sophisticated not-drowning.

Four floating platforms, designed by Fluxer Brian Matthews, were set out on the East River along with a floating tea table, everyone dressed for a Victorian tea party. From the shore, the audience ordered cups of tea using semaphore flags; the performers then had to reach the table with ropes and small paddles to make them.

Miracle on 43rd Street

Sat, 26 Apr 2003 00:00:00 -0500

Miracle on 43rd Street: the tour & the mischief took participants by bus to the BQE end of 43rd Street in Queens and left them to walk back to Flux Factory with a map they were given. Flux Factory described the street as “the Yellow Brick Road without the colors or the bricks and straighter” — the catch being the map itself.

Recorded on an earlier CV as Miracle Mischief, a film.

When Everybody Agrees It Means Nobody Understood

Sun, 03 Nov 2002 00:00:00 -0500

Co-participation in Flux Factory’s installation and performance piece for the Queens Museum of Art’s exhibition Queens International.

For nearly three months the collective worked inside the gallery in orange jumpsuits, building and maintaining a structure that grew, developed, and then devolved. It was updated daily and documented continuously, until the documentation outweighed the living structure and was all that remained.

Live music and sound production for Multi-Prises, an evening of short films at the Iseion theater, performed alongside the Project association’s video jockey.
