I’ve once again been busy curating the 7th Annual Conflux Festival with lots of exciting stuff happening. This year’s festival is based on the themes of INVESTIGATION, ACTION and TRANSMISSION. Conflux participants will transform New York’s East Village into a laboratory for creative experimentation and civic action.
Through public interventions, artist-facilitated walks and tours, interactive performances and installations, bike and subway expeditions, and more, Conflux artists will confront and rewrite the rules of urban public space.
Once again, the Conflux headquarters will be located in NYU Steinhardt’s Barney Building and will include a festival cafe and lounge. The HQ will serve as a central communications hub during the festival where artists and attendees can meet, swap ideas, and establish new communities of practice. Cutting-edge public space artists will be available in the headquarters throughout the weekend to skillshare, engage in conversation, entertain and provoke.
We recently posted a highlight video from the 2009 festival – you can check it out below.
Be sure to visit the Conflux Festival site for more info – hope to see you there!
