New Censored version of the Kridix Korner!
Sorry guys, but I didn’t realize how sensitive some “Progressive, forward thinking” curators can be and how prone they are to censorship, but I now know and will be more sensitive.. Sorry Damian, I didn’t think you would be so mad at me for calling you “stuck up” And Adam, I’m so sorry for spelling your name wrong, sir, but did you guys really have to delete my post? hahaha!!!
Review of Seriously Stupididty show at Shadow’s Space Gallery
Curated by Damian Whiney pants and Adam “The Maverick of Art” Wallofcabbage
Exhibition: March 18th through April 28th
Opening Reception: Wednesday, ya missed it already, 2009
By Karl Paul March 26, 2009
Seriously Stupididity at the new Shadow’s Space Gallery above the Kung Fu Neck Tie bar in South Fishtown, has a mix of stuff that some people might like or not depending on what you like and look at and especially if you go or at least see images of it, or stories even.
Without doing any research what so ever, I imagine the title has to do with the rivalry between the two curators, Damian Weinkrantz and Adam “The Maverick of Art” Wallacavage, I know they have silly fictitious last names but pleeese these dudes are total opposites, every one knows Damian is a snobby intellectual with a PHD in ART and Adam Wallacavage is a something of a maverick of the art world but they have nothing in common, hence the title of the show.
I attended the opening disguised as a dog, Amber Lynn Thompson’s dog, Sir Buckley, the model of the brilliantly bleached blonde artist’s painting, as to not to distract the crowd of stuck up Fishtown hipsters with my normal look, however most of the crowd was from South Philly and there were a few pine barren hicks there as well, I know cause 4 of their ticks jumped onto my back as I sniffed the cedar scented creek residue from their rubber boots. It’s funny being a dog, you wouldn’t believe how many people step in dog poop without realizing it.
Ok so back to art. There was art there, it was cool but what do I know? I liked it, well a lot of it but most of it I really hated. Especially Paul E’s “self portrait” I’m peeing on his leg the next time I see him, if it’s not already drenched in it already from stepping in the troft at Ray’s Happy Birthday bar, that is. I really loved the Plankton Art Company’s felt slugs, they made me really happy and Drew Leshko’s “Philadelphia” was just fantastic! I didn’t understand Andrew Jeffrey Wright’s photo titled, “Ridiculas” was that a girl or a guy? I can usually tell by sniffing but this is a photograph I’m talking about. Jim Houser’s dog photos from Brazil cracked me up and made me sad at the same time. There’s a lot of art in this show so I’m gonna end there. Check it out yourself if you feel like it or just don’t what do I care? I’m writing this for the fun of it.

??MYSTERY BOX HATCHES???
There is a report that one of the Mystery boxes donated to the Space 1026 Auction, has hatched!Remnants of one of the boxes which turned out to be a huge rectangular shaped egg, wrapped in paper and a gooey slime substance has been found in the storage area where the boxes were placed. The discovery was made by Space 1026 founder, Karl Paul. “Dude, it was weird, I just snuck into the Space late Sunday night to pull my normal pranks, like leaving the windows open and pooping on the toilet seat and setting off the alarm, and like, I see this weird slimey thing that looked like the Jersey Devil or that thing on GWAR’s ODERUS URUNGUS’ crotch, craw out of a box and fly out the back door.” Karl Paul also cleaned up the mess and disposed of it outside of the Space. A source close to a source that has a source, says the box was supposed to hatch on Friday night and added that elaborate failed prank cost thousands of dollars and years of genetic research.

Children, ironically, are Space 1026’s harshest critics
First excitement, then puzzlement, then tears of confusion and then fits of RAGE! These are the reactions by many, if not all of the children who have visited Space 1026’s “Ewok village” now on display at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Ignoring the colorful colors and roping ropes, the children only care about one thing when they see the dazzling display of trees, and rope bridges and milk crates, HOW DO THEY GET UP THERE!!!? Billy, age 5, had this to say, ” I wan back and fworth fwom twee to twee and there was no staircase for me to get up to the bwidges and fun stuff, I was so sad when I was told it wasn’t for weel, I cried all the way home.” Sally, age 7, had even harsher words, ” I feel ripped off, if I ever meet the mean people who bamboozled me, I will stomp on their toes and stick earth worms in their drinks!”

“like visiting a summer art camp while the kiddies are at lunch.”
Space 1026 gets “mad props” by the man who writes things in the newspaper that the grown ups read. That’s great and all, but none of our friends read that paper. If only the people at Highlights Magazine or Boys Life would take notice. Don’t forget, Thursday at recess we are having face paintings!!

Success! Website has been updated.
Long time supreme founder and owner of Space 1026, Adam LaMont Wallacavage, has finally started updating his online portfolio in hopes of better success when submitting his portfolio again to Tyler scrool of Fart and West Chester University, two schools that, like, totally dissed him man, and forced Adam to have to join the military.
