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.

Surf Community Responds to Dangerous Debris

Surfer Standing on Beach

In late July, the Delaware Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation was alerted to a hazardous situation at North Indian River Inlet beach by surfer, Surfrider Foundation volunteer, and community organizer Crystal Stokowski. Long buried road construction materials including concrete, asphalt and rebar, have been uncovered by the narrowing of the beach, leading to beach goer injuries.
