The Flux Foundation is a non-profit group based in the San Francisco Bay Area whose main objective is to build community through the creation of large-scale public art. The group creates both public art and public artists. It was founded on April 1, 2010 and was established as a California corporation on January 6, 201, by Rebecca Anders, Jessica Hobbs, Peter (PK) Kimelman, Catherine Magee and Colinne Hemrich. It is a "public charity" 501c(3) non-profit, supported by grants, public donations and the display of its artworks. Its works are notable not only for their scale but interactivity with the audience relying on participation to create atmospheric effects. The group draws upon Situationist and Fluxus ideas of creating spectacle to establish social connections as an effect of the artwork. This "community creation" is mirrored in the pieces' creation by a large-number of volunteers who themselves create new social networks. The Foundation is administratively based in San Francisco, while its studios are located at American Steel Studios in West Oakland, California. == Projects / Artworks== * The Temple of Flux is the seminal project of the foundation. The temple was built over the course of four months, the initial stages of its creation took place in the American Steel Warehouse in Oakland, California. The projects construction was completed in August 2010 at Black Rock City, during the Burning Man Festival. After standing for a mere 9 days, the piece was burned at the festival's conclusion in a choreographed performance of flame effects. * Fishbug/Chimera Sententia 2.0 - 2009/2011 (continues to be exhibited) * Spire of Wishes - 2010 (originally shown at the Bentley Reserve in San Francisco, now in a private collection in Sonoma) * BrollyFlock! - 2011 (continues to be exhibited) * The Fluxcycles: Fluxicleta - 2011, Dragon Wagon - 2012, Poppy Wagon - 2014 (continue to be exhibited) * Colony - 2012 (commissioned for the Annual Meeting of the American Association of museums, acquired by the Skirball Center, Los Angeles) * TweetHaus OAK - 2012.
