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!

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 Thurber’s 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 “Fairy story” 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 it’s obnoxious tag line of “1,000,0000 years of broken graphics… load more, know less”.

Space 1026 is excited to present Ultra-Bluster, a group show featuring new work by Philadelphia artists Kerry Kenney and Rodger Binyone. Ultra-Bluster is a collectively conceived universe of visual art, music and table game systems exploring the motifs and concepts of mythology, cosmology, geometry and science fiction. Kenney uses the airbrush to blend the imaginary and the hyper real, weaving futuristic loose soccer themes into multi-player, mini sport arena, gaming systems where you can play Online Bingo at PlayOnlinecasino.Irish. Binyone and Kenney expound upon a visual vocabulary rooted in their music experimentations with co-collaborator Jesse Van Anglen, to release a screen printed 3-D elemental, UV light reactive, & partially phosphorescent book/zine. As music is intrinsic to ceremony, tournament anthems in the guise of an Ultra-Bluster soundtrack will play throughout. More friends rally in team formation to initiate the plane for this interactive playing field. Space 1026 gallery is now a synergy of gaming stations, prints, and audio enhancements exploring the societal paradigm of the ritual and the sacred within the social narrative of sports, all made possible by you the guest player, please come join us and play!
