Our Intentions Are Honorable
Through October 31st
For its October show, Space 1026 is proud to present “Our Intentions Are Honorable,” new work by Trevor Reese and Sighn.
Reese sums up the sort of tenuous optimism present in each artist’s work: “In our constant bombardment of issues large and small we try to make the best decisions in each situation.
