Hey People!!! Happy Spring 🌷! It’s now time to drop this promo video I’ve just edited. I’m most proud of this work and the people were enjoying it! It is of my previous performance of my largest and best work, “The Picnic: Harvest of the Soft Sweet Sound” which debuted in SHARED GROUNDSJune 28 - August 10, 2025
Hunter’s Point South Park (along Center Blvd, south of 54th Avenue)
Long Island City, NY. Shared Grounds is curated by ELINA SUOYRJÖ (FCINY) and MEGHANA KARNIK (Flux Factory), with curatorial assistance by ROWENA HURME. It is co-presented by FLUX FACTORY @flux_factory and FINNISH CULTURAL@thefciny INSTITUTE IN NEW YORK.In this performance I was accompanied by Leopoldo Bloom, Justin Sterling, Fitzmore Prince Codogan, Vidho Lorville, Trasonia Abbott, Hsiao-Chu (Julia) Hsia, Gabriella Bornstein, Ronit Levin Delgado, Anna Ting Möller, and Rose Malenfant. Thank you, and please share!!!! 💜Jodie ,the people’s artist.

The Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) and Flux Factory are excited to announce the first artists selected to participate in the Regional Artist Mobility Program (RAMP), a new initiative to strengthen inter-regional exchange between U.S. artists by supporting professional development, facilitating creative dialogue and building cooperation among artists from different regions. This Residency exchange will culminate in November 2026 with an exhibition for our fellows at CIA’s Reinberger Gallery.

Two CIA faculty artists—interdisciplinary artist and designer Rachel Ferber, an assistant professor in the Foundation program for first-year students, and painter Mike Meier, an assistant professor in the Painting program—will spend six weeks with Flux in May and June 2026. Two Flux Factory community artists—textile artist and designer Itala Aguilera and interdisciplinary artist and former actor Li-Ming Hu — will spend six weeks in residence at CIA in September and October 2026.

Last chance to see 𝙋𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙚𝙨 & 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚 👀✨ closing reception tonight at 4 pm!

𝙋𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙚𝙨 & 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚 is an ongoing experimental time-negotiating kitchen laboratory by Kosmologym (Walker Tufts & Greg Stewart). It contrasts two human attempts to alter the flow of time. In the kitchen, we freeze, dehydrate, and pickle foods to remove them from their usual cycle of decay. In contrast, we freeze and thaw concrete to simulate the passage of entire seasons in a single day 🪨

Take for example, 𝙎𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙙/𝘾𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝘾𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙨 (image 1)—the Belmnitella americana was an ancient cephalopod, relative to the ancestors of today’s squids. This fossil is from New Jersey. The carbon from a specific Belmnitella fossil found in the Pee Dee River in South Carolina was used to determine the 0 value for the delta scale used in relative isotope-ratio measurements of carbon. Measuring changing ratios of Carbon12 and Carbon13 isotopes can also help us understand the ratio of carbon in the atmosphere to that in the ocean. The Belmnitella biomineralized the calcium carbonate through a similar process to how S. pasteurii makes bioconcrete.

Quartz wall clock: a frequency reference is at the core of every clock. A pendulum completes a swing once a second, a quartz crystal (silicone dioxide) cut into a tiny tuning fork, vibrates 32,768 times per second. The quartz crystal is piezoelectric and so not only vibrates but also produces an electrical charge, which drives the clock hands more accurately than a pendulum.

𝘾𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙮 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝘾𝙖𝙨
January 11, 4-6 PM
📍Flux IV (56-21 2nd St, LIC)

Please join us at Flux IV for the closing reception of our current exhibitions, 𝙄𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝘼𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖: 𝙏𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖 𝙈𝙤𝙟𝙖𝙙𝙖 (𝙒𝙚𝙩 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙) and Kosmologym’s 𝙋𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙚𝙨 & 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙚, featuring a special presentation by visiting artist-in-residence Pasha Cas.

𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖 𝘾𝙖𝙨
Pasha Cas arrives in a space where the European myth of freedom has been materialized and transformed into a symbol of American identity. By exploring the urban environment, monuments, and people, the artist seeks historical parallels and ruptures between promise and reality, between the myth and its contemporary interpretation.

Using his own body as a tool for artistic expression, he embeds himself into the city’s public and symbolic spaces. In these “gestures,” the temporary is juxtaposed with the eternal, and the personal with the monumental. The artist analyzes how myths and symbols created to affirm freedom lose their clarity and conviction over time, lingering in the space between relevance and the loss of meaning.

The starting point of this exploration is the phrase “Give me liberty, or give me death!” the political slogan delivered by Patrick Henry at a convention to gather support for a revolutionary break from England, which subsequently became a myth. This phrase was never recorded in writing and has reached us through oral tradition, making it fluid, changeable, and dependent on context. Over time, it has transformed, adapting to the era, ideology, and political climate.
