On this Earth Day, we remember “Braiding Time, Memory and Water,” an interactive dance performance from 2024.

Created by Sue Schroeder of Core Dance in collaboration with conceptual artist Jonathon Keats and internationally recognized Mexican composer Felipe Pérez Santiago, the performance responds to the geography and history of the site and encourages us to reconnect with our natural environment.

At Powers Island, one of the most serene sections of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Braiding Time unfolded in three movements. With each movement a water clock measured the rate of flow of the water, and its speed determined the pace of the performance, thus enlisting the water as a natural timekeeper and a collaborator in the performance. Ambient sounds integrated into a larger sound composition furthered nature’s collaboration in the work.

Local and international dancers of Core Dance were joined by musicians from Georgia State University.

Our hope is a deeper understanding of the natural cycles in nature will encourage us to seek and find solutions to safeguard and nurture our environment.

The world’s on fire… why should I make art?! At the time of this writing, there are so many crises in the world that we share a responsibility to address, from famine in Gaza, Mali, and Sudan, to political strife and climate emergencies. And …

Micah and Whitney Stansell’s monumental, five-channel video projection Between You and Me premiered at Flux Night 2010, and quickly became one of the projects that defined Flux Projects in our early years. It combined spectacular scale with the Stansells’ unique style of visual storytelling, and set new expectations for public art in Atlanta.

If you missed it in 2010—or have just been waiting for the opportunity to see it again—now’s your moment! Join us at this year’s Atlanta Art Fair (Sept. 25 – 28) where Flux Projects will present Between You and Me as one of the featured artist projects.
