The PatchUp Mural Sessions
Gallery Opening, October 3rd, 6 – 9pm
For each month over the past year we opened the panels on our 8′ H x 24′ L backyard wall for a pairing of artist to work together and create something fresh. At the end of each month we pulled one of the 6 panels, put it in storage, primed over the rest, and left a new canvas for the next artist. The art lived outdoors year round and was not only exposed to the weather, but also open to any member of the community that wanted to add to the panels in anyway they chose. This first edition of The Patch-Up spoke to the power of community & collaboration. The panels you see here are from 10 months of project and the artist who brought the panels to life have their personal art represented on these walls as well.

The Main Trilogy: COMMUNITY PREVIEW (w/ jokes)
Saturday, September 20, 2025
Doors at 6pm | Show 7–10pm
$15 – Tickets available now
An evening of ghosts, grudges, and genre-blurring brain fog.
Join artist and filmmaker Abigail Bruley for a one-of-a-kind screening of The Main Trilogy—three surreal shorts about grief, memory, and emotionally overcooked family dinners. It’s weird. It’s darkly funny. It’s cognitively askew.
Starring punk icons Ted Leo and Marisa Dabice of Mannequin Pussy, and featuring a score by the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra, the trilogy takes you on a strange ride between life, death, and whatever’s left in between.

APOCALYPSE LOUNGE
BEN FURGAL & ZACH ZIEMANN
SEPTEMBER 5TH-26TH 2025
OPENING: SEPTEMBER 5TH 7-10PM
Space1026 is proud to present Apocalypse Lounge: Ben Furgal and Zach Ziemann.
Both artist musicians and old friends, Furgal and Ziemann showed together publicly for the first time two decades ago at a short lived music venue in the Lower East Side. After years of touring in bands, both artists are revisiting their visual art practices.
For Apocalypse Lounge, Furgal presents Syncope (2011/2025), a monumental drawing of non-repeating black and white triangles that encompasses the entire surface of the gallery floor. Drawing from the tradition of conceptual art, the work is a structured improvisation where the general rules of the drawing were set beforehand but the details were freely sorted out during the execution of the work. The title is a reference to both syncope, the medical term for fainting, and syncopation, the musical term for emphasizing an unstressed beat and also dance term for deviating or improvising from the expected rhythm. This piece was first produced in 2011, shortly after Furgal moved to Philadelphia, creating another echo in time.
On the walls, Ziemann presents a series of his recent paintings on paper. His work is an off-kilter kind of abstraction—intuitive, casual, and driven more by impulse than by rigid structure. Each piece is built up through layered accretions of acrylic paint using multiple processes that include brushing, pouring, scraping, smearing, collaging and subtracting. These layers coalesce into visual fields that feel suspended somewhere between clarity and blur, painting and personal memory, gesture and artifact. This out of focus in-between zone is where the work lives.
This body of work is concerned with introspective and personal effusions of memory, time, movement, energy, and aura. Music is a primary fuel— open structure, emotional propulsion, and rhythmic logic influence his own painterly approach. Much like improvisation in jazz or the layering of samples in electronic music, Ziemann’s process is an analog to those forms with its accumulation and revision, impulse and repetition.
