As mentioned late last year, Flux Factory (LIC's beloved art space) is being forced out of their home under eminent domain to make way for the MTA's $6.3 billion East Side Access project. They report on their (hopefully temporary) end online:
Now it must all be destroyed. Our entire block will be razed by the pitiless bulldozers of the MTA. Everything Must Go. Alas, such is the fate of all terrestrial things. So, to mark the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, we’re inviting artists to transform all of Flux into one giant installation.
The installation is an all-out apocalyptic party, and will include videos, sculptures, installations, performances, an ongoing garage sale, a Best-Of Flux Thursday Salon performance, an opera, a golden shrine...and, somehow, much more.
Head over to 38 43rd Street in Long Island City by the end of April, because next thing you know it'll be a LIRR station. And look for Flux to pop up somewhere else around town in the future.
