Dan Angel, Kate Ferencz, Lauren Poor
May 1st – 29th 2026
Opening Reception: Friday May 1st 2026 6-10pm
Space1026 is proud to present Angels to Some, a group exhibition of ceramics and drawings by Dan Angel, Kate Ferencz and Lauren Poor. Each of these artists alludes to other worldly creatures in their work that seem to occupy a space between realities, with ambiguous intentions toward us.
Starting from photographs of ephemeral and delicate foam sculptures, Dan Angel’s detailed conte crayon drawings document the equally monstrous and humorous visages revealed as these structures shift between states of matter and inevitably collapse. His process is slow and methodological, the drawings built up of countless added and subtracted layers of crayon dust in a herculean effort to make solid and permanent the airy and amorphous.
Kate Ferencz has chosen to depict the divine in an urgent and visionary manner. Using ink and shimmering graphite pencil, spontaneous expressionist marks are scrawled across a prolific number and variety of notebook paper types. Beings are depicted with inhuman flexibility, morphing between animal and angelic bodies. Twisting fingers create alien sign gestures. Sometimes the drawings are even roughly torn out directly from spiral books, conveying the impression that these fleeting visions and messages must be transcribed with utmost haste with whatever materials are nearby before they are lost forever.
Lauren Poor communicates presence through absence. Her ceramics of whimsical architectural marvels could be seen as buildings for miniature invisible beings, or models for enormous landmarks yet to be realized. Conceptualized as the buildings of the fictional city of Asobibapolis, a place where play and imagination are prioritized in how things are made, these denizens are given character through the many winding stairways, secret gardens, and hidden alcoves where they can sit and dream that are seen throughout the metropolis.
Just like the elusive creatures alluded to in their artworks, each of these artists have maintained secretive long running studio practices that are rarely shared with the general public. Space1026 is proud to bring these works to the light.

JASON MITCHELL is a poet living in Philadelphia.

His music covers a wide spectrum of styles: ghazals (romantic poetry), bhajans (devotional songs), kirtan, and classic film songs. Deepak first studied with his father, Shri P.N. Vyas, and later with Ustad R.F. Dagar, Ustad Moinuddin Khan and Shri Mohinderjit Singh. He has also been studying with Khayal classical singer Mrs. Kankana Banerjee, a disciple of the legendary vocalist Ustad Amir Khan. Deepak is accomplished on several musical instruments, including harmonium, tamboura, guitar, and keyboard. He is co-director of the East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram and is currently studying and performing with world-renowned vocalist Kankana Banerjee,a student of Amir Khan. Ghazals are primarily romantic poetry, celebrating the beauty of love and lovers.
THE ELUSIVE MUSIC mixes unorthodox guitar and violin composition, moody inging/growling/screaming, and audience participation with custom-built instruments and visuals. The elusive music’s songs reflect on personal, emotional, and relationship issues, social/philosophical/political topics, and incorporate themes and language from nature, science, and technology. The Elusive Music has performed at The Fire, The Nail, Milkboy South Street, The Pouch, West Philly, and Roxyunk Porchfests, and at over 200 open mics in over a dozen Philadelphia venues since 2021.

White-line Woodblock Workshop with Wavy Lines Press
White-line woodblock prints are vibrant, multi-color images crafted from a single wooden block. This printmaking technique was pioneered by artists in the 1900s in Provincetown, inspired by the Japanese woodblock printing tradition. It enables the creation of beautiful, multi-color prints by hand, simplifying the process by eliminating the need for a press or complicated registration methods.
Join us at Space1026 on 12/9 for a workshop with Dre Grigoropol and Candy Lombardi from Wavy Lines Press (www.wavylinespress.com), where you can create your own woodblock art! Participants will have the opportunity to learn traditional design, carving, and printing techniques, leaving with unique prints and their own woodblocks, work with Eastern and Western papers, along with newfound skills and a deeper appreciation for the craft.
Seats are limited, so be sure to secure your spot! Suggested donations of $15 and up will be collected at the door to cover the workshop cost. All materials will be provided; however, if you’d like to use special watercolors for your design, feel free to bring them along. After the workshop, we will screen Packed in a Trunk: The Lost Art of Edith Lake Wilkinson, a documentary exploring the work of early 1900s white-line woodblock artist Edith Lake Wilkinson!
