The Flux Foundation: Building big art through community and community through big art.
The Flux Foundation is hosting NIGHTLY open shop work parties in preparation for the massive music and arts festival that is Coachella. You can help BUILD Coachella! All you have to do is show up at American Steel Studios, 6-10pm and head to Bay 1!The mission of the Flux Foundation is to engage people in designing and building large-scale public art as a catalyst for education. Existing as a new model for the exploration of large-scale art, their focus is the pursuit of projects that create and empower communities through public artworks.
The Flux Foundation has been instigating artists at American Steel Studios for almost 3 years. They engage people in building large scale art as a catalyst for education, collaboration, and empowerment. Their current project “The Sidewalk’s End” is destined for Coachella 2013.
Join them every night in Bay 1 until Apr 5 to help with their final push! All skill levels welcome. Contact: info@fluxfoundation.org
Flux investigates design methods that encourage involvement by community members to create interactive site-specific works. The projects engage intellectually and emotionally, challenging the basis by which the relationships between public, site, art, and everyday life are understood.
Flux not only creates public art; it creates public artists. Inherent in our work are the individual contributions made by project participants within the greater design framework of the piece. Each project is a vehicle to train crew members in technical skills and enable them with a critical approach to art practice.
