âïžđSpace Camp 2025đâïž
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting Space Camp during August 15-17 2025 at Space1026!
Space Camp 2025
We have lined up ten workshops designed to guide exploration and creativity in a low-pressure environment, using the tools and skills available at Space 1026. Come and ponder the clouds, wheatpaste a mural, or build the papier-mĂąchĂ© sculpture you want to see in the world. Perhaps you would prefer to sew your dance-worthy booty shorts, with your name on the tush? We have that! Get intimate with some glue and glitter through hands-on collage, or design and print your first 8-page zine, or try screen printing with ferrous paste onto naturally dyed canvas. There’s even cyanotype printing and block printing on the menu. Space Camp is a great way to get in the door and explore new art-making techniques alongside new friends. And it’s a great way to get to know Space itself!
Organized Cloud Watching
Perfect for anyone seeking a fresh perspective. No prior meditation or cloud watching experience needed. Participants are encouraged to bring a cushion for accessibility and comfort.
PRINT & REPEAT W/ JACKIE
Friday, August 15, 2025
10 AM-12 PM
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to design and carve your own motif on a block to create a repeating all-over pattern. Explore how repeat patterns work through tiling and rotating, along with the balance of positive and negative space.
You’ll leave with a hand-carved block (yours to keep!), a collection of prints showcasing your custom pattern, and the foundational skills to keep printing at home.
Solid as a Rock! Natural Dye and Iron Paste Screenprinting
w/Caresh
Friday, August 15, 2025
1-4 PM
Dive into the curious cosmos of natural dyes! The natural world around us is overflowing with plant life just waiting to be transformed into new hues and patterns. Join us for a workshop where you’ll learn the technique of printing with iron paste (yes, iron!) and pattern-making with your own handmade silkscreen onto naturally dyed canvas. Watch the earth colors transform as the iron paste interacts, creating your own unique tones and transitions.
This workshop will equip you with everything needed to continue this creative journey: your very own custom-printed bag, a blank bag for future practice, the handmade silkscreen you created, a tried-and-true recipe for iron paste, and a collection of natural dye recipes to explore.Workshops require no experience or particular skill, and all materials are included with the registration fee.
Backyard Cyanotypes
Create a unique print that has been kissed by the sun! In this workshop you will get to experiment with cyanotype, a photography process from 100 years ago thatâs still popular today! Participants will draw on the acetate with graffiti markers.

Archive Show Closing Reception w/ Fleegix and Happiness #5 !
We are taking a break from moving, planning, scheming, etc etc etc to offer one last look at our Archive Show before we dismantle the whole show and building! There are 21.5 years worth of flyers, art by members past and present, pieces from past shows, a zine library ! So much to look at and take in. AND, if that wasn’t enough, we are very excited to ALSO be hosting :
FLEEGIX (2019, dir. by Matthew Thurber)
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1209343473/fleegix
Shot on 16mm film, Matthew Thurberâs FLEEGIX is a science-fiction film set on Earth, although some of the population have become convinced that they are in fact living on the planet Mars.
FLEEGIX includes both live action, stop motion and hand drawn animated segments. The appearance of animation in the narrative is to illustrate propaganda, such as depictions of newsworthy events on Mars. This film is an organism that grows and continues to develop a web of connected motifs and ideas. FLEEGIX is constructed through the accumulation of short scenes that echo and lead into each other, making connections across time and space. It is a a âFairy storyâ whose construction resembles a role-playing game, rather than a simulation of standard motion picture narrative. At the heart of the film is the question as to how Fleegix, a beverage enjoyed by Martians, is manufactured. The film details further conflict among New York Martians who express themselves in animated movement, and the Hand Shadow Punks of Baltimore, who represent a pre-cinematic faction. The film proposes various absurd answers to this question, and the dispute takes on symbolic and mythological proportions.

Destroy Content Desert – Long Live Content Desert
Content Desert is a post-internet object, a journey through graphic refuse amassed and extruded over several stylized chapters. The 450-plus pages of Content Desert anachronously proceed from itâs obnoxious tag line of â1,000,0000 years of broken graphics⊠load more, know lessâ.

*Skate Park(ing) Day 2016
This past Friday the 16th we had the pleasure of participating in Philadelphia’s 8th annual Park(ing) Day, presented by The Center for Architecture. The concept of the citywide event is to turn inactive vehicle parking into vibrant street-side park space, if only for a day.
We figured what better way to do so than to build the world’s smallest skate park. James Bonney and Kees Holterman designed and built the installation at break neck intensity over the course of two weeks. Many friends also lent a hand with painting and moving the dang ramps from the studio to the street. Thanks pals!
Also, a BIG thanks to Franklin’s Paine Skatepark Fund and Spectrum Skateboard Co. for extra support!
