EVENTS

Tuesday, November 9 through Saturday, November 13

• Gregg Museum: Visit your museum! Galleries open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and until 8 p.m. and the first and third Thursday of each month. Three exhibitions are open for viewing: Crossed Kalunga by the Stars and Other Acts of Resistance, Chris Hondros – Conflict photography, and Will Henry Stevens – Pastels and drawings.

Thursday, November 11

• Crafts Center: Fluxus Actions: Chance, Randomness and Uncertainty. Fluxus was an avant-garde art movement that emerged in the late 1950s, led by a group of artists who had become disenchanted with the elitist attitude they perceived in the art world at the time. As both an investigation and mechanical process, NC State interdisciplinary arts students in ARS414 have created a variety of new works: performance, happenings, poetry and sound, all in the spirit of the Fluxus paradigm. The exhibition runs through Nov. 15, with a reception on Nov. 11, 5-7 p.m. Free.
