Pixel Fluxus Atomic Elroy
Pixel Fluxus
A Video Installation by Atomic Elroy
October 10-November 8, 2014
Reception: October 10 • 5–8pm
Pixel fluxus
Inspired by the spirit of Fluxus and Dada, Atomic Elroy has installed a body of recent work without a discernable theme, yet loosely tied together by feelings of artistic unease with water issues, consumerism, and fear of change.
"In the spirit of the FluxShop, Pixel Fluxus will sell every element of this installation as an indictment of our out-of-control consumer culturem or perhaps just to help pay for my retirement."
