TOK in residency at Flux Factory
We are on the road again! TOK will spend the upcoming winter in New York - we will be the residents at the Flux Factory, an art institution, founded by a group of artists in 1993 in Brooklyn that has since been actively developing a residential program for artists and curators and organizing exhibitions and art pubic events. Today Flux Factory is located in a firmer industrial building in Long Island and hosts from 30 to 35 residents per year who have the opportunity to curate here their exhibitions and projects, organize discussions, public events and performances as well as conduct their research. One of our recents curatorial interests is the role of the media in forming and broadcasting ideologically charged discourses in the global political and informational context. During our research at Flux we will take a close look at the strategies of constructing information that were designed in the era of mass television development and reflection of the Cold War in the media and we will see whether some of them are still used today. TOK will conduct several public events and curate an archive-based exhibition at the Flux gallery in the end of February 2016. Stay tuned!
