Flux Factory kicked off the second series of Going Places (Doing Stuff) on August 8th with Jeff Stark’s “Industrial Disasters and Aftermaths.”  Like last year, the artist-led tours will lead the public on  “adventures as performance art,” exploring the greater New York area aboard a vegetable oil propelled school bus provided by HONK! Festival favorites Rude Mechanical Orchestra.

Among the things that may or may not occur:

  • Partial or total immersion in various bodies of water
  • Impromptu back-of-the-bus dance parties
  • Mesmerizing encounters with astonishing and unexpected fleeting beauty that will vanish before you can grasp it, leaving you with indescribable feelings of Baudelairian melancholy and enlightenment
  • Naps
  • Miscellaneous imbibitions
  • Roaring
  • Life-affirming encounters with extraordinary individuals and their extraordinary pursuits
  • Breaking of world records
  • And much more!

The next event will take place this weekend, with Siobhan Rigg and Carolyn Lambert’s “The North Passage,” which explores the geopolitical consequences of global warming:

The warming waters have made the possibility of a long-sought after East/West Shipping passage a reality; not to mention the opening up of oil and gas reserves that is inciting a global scramble for control. For the tour, we will venture through the Ports of New Jersey and New York, and the marshes of Kearney as a means to explore the local connections to this far-way place.

While the Flux Factory website claims a sold-out tour, word on Facebook is that a few seats remain.  The tour leaves Saturday, August 15, at 9:30AM and is an all day event.  RSVP Flux Factory to reserve a seat.
