As our current Experiential Residents, Sarah Martin and her class engage the site and audience of the Super G with the worlds longest (and most unique) catwalk. In efforts to bridge the offerings of the Flea Market to the grocery-driven shoppers, this 30 minute catwalk will highlight an abundance of items, clothing and services.
It’s best to listen to Sarah discuss the residency with our intern Ashley. This video is being fixed – however, we there is something there to chew on…
Members from Flux Factory in New York brought Greensboro something amazing this week – lessons in making things happen, collaboration and meaningful moments between friends and strangers. Saturday’s public event topped off the experience by creating a cardboard city within the supermarket with architectural details and city planning that would have made Jane Jacobs smile.
A weekend of fresh donuts, operatics, unreal (but functional) hats and hand-made leather shoes has changed the Super G for while – perhaps for a long while. The vendors that inhabit the Flea Market on a daily basis must still be spinning from Flux energy. Thanks again Jean, Georgia, Adrian and Alison!
More documentation and more will be here soon. Check frequently.

Visit the Super G Saturday and enter into the cardboard village of shoe cobblers, fresh donuts, mad hatters and mind blowing Opera – just bring something (anything) to trade. Because, as you know – nothing is for free in this world.

Here is Flux Factory’s Mission Statement
The mission of Flux Factory is to support innovative and collaborative art works. It is thus primarily an incubation and laboratory space for works that are in dialogue with the physical, social, and cultural space of New York City (though collaborations may start in New York and stretch far beyond). The goal of the Flux art collective is to create a forum where Flux artists can collaborate with each other as well as others in an experimental lab that produces new works. These new works force participants to work with people they’ve never worked with before, or with unfamiliar media, or formal constraints. Flux Factory supports work that reflects upon and alters public space in dynamic ways. Flux Factory is also a public and community space in itself. It provides a computer center, darkroom, performance space, musical recording space, publishing equipment, and a weekly Thursday night dinner and salon that has become a well-known venue for artists and intellectuals to present both finished pieces and, more importantly, works-in-progress.
