Take a Cheap Shot at Queens

It's paint by numbers at the Flux Factory this Saturday at 8 p.m. Well, rather, it's paint at numbers. The Amateurs art group will arm attendees with paintball guns and orchestrate a mass-mural-paintballing of the Flux Factory building.

The Amateurs refuse to leave art in the hands of the professionals, and they are obviously in cahoots with the Madagascar Institute, the most dangerous art collective in America -- or at least the one with the best sense of humor. They're the same folks who Broadway-show-tune-danced on the steps of the NYC Library and survived condiment war.

You're already going to PS 1 for Warm-Up on Saturday, so continue into Queens for Paintball by Numbers at the Flux Factory (3838 43rd Street, Long Island City (Sunnyside), directions, August 13, 2005, 8 p.m.).
