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. This show in general highlights that the important or sometimes arbitrary results are always a mixture of hope and doubt.”
Though each artist worked independently (Trevor in Brooklyn, NY and Sighn in Chicago, IL), their work shares key similarities that make for a natural collaboration. Each makes hand-carved text-based sculptures, the basis of larger installations, and each achieves a delicate state of introspection mixed with generosity, and confidence fraught with ambivalence.
Sighn is displaying his giant installation titled ITSOK, made up of 1,000 individual hand-cut ITSOKs. The hope is that he will complete a “limited” edition of 1 million hand-cut ITSOKs, which should take the next 50 years to complete. He is also presenting All the things I wish I could say to you, a series of new works based on crossed-out, illegible text. His work aims to access the roots and fundamentals of language, thereby achieving simple, graceful expressions of emotion.
A special edition bamboo version of ITSOK will be available in the Space 1026 store beginning this Friday.
Trevor will be exhibiting new sculptures, installation and videos that convey themes of sincerity, optimism and secrecy. Incorporating plants, music, and nostalgia, his work explores the beginnings of creativity and good intentions.
Last year Trevor made a mountain filled with “baby mountains” as part of an installation with Steve Keene at Copy Gallery in Philadelphia. A continuation of this piece, he installed another mountain based on Mt. Rotui at the Athens Institute of Contemporary Art earlier this year.
Sighn’s cut paper and wood phrases have appeared in the streets and galleries of Chicago, where he is a part of Multi Polar Projects. His work has appeared in magazines and will be featured in the upcoming book

Ebonza will combine a myriad of mediums, light manipulation, collage, watercolor, photography, drawings and works on fabric, these mediums serve to relay a myth of creation and revelation. Immaginarium will be represented by Jefferson Mayday Mayday Vimana, and Maia Serena. Totally Wreck, an OKFRESH Production, is represented by Ben Aqua, Jhonny VAZ Cisnero, and Mikey Awesome Ruiz. Ebonza will also include works from AVOID pi, DAD III, Brian (POM KIKI) Narwhalz of Sound, SINDOOLAH, Joshua Doomslang Carsangle, Willy May, Donny Overcash, Keith Childress, Adam Keith, Christopher Fogues, Jonathan Coward, Carlos Gonzalez and Charlotte Kokyang Wuhti.The exhibition title, “Ebonza Sungondora Unillumina Faunaflora: Sacred Asymmetry” is a reference to a total solar eclipse eve party of a similar name. The first event sought to celebrate and examine plant and animal life as they react to absence of sunlight. In it’s fourth incarnation Ebonza’s artists have thematically substituted lack of sunlight for a lack of healthy economy.
“Economy may ring a tone of being rooted in money, but when everything is based on money, your lights get turned off in economic collapse,” says Vimana.Jefferson Mayday Mayday Vimana of Immaginarium is known for his wide variety of releases. In addition to his musical endeavors as a “Cataclysmic Dining Pianist,” Vimana has worked with Kurse Go Back, Soft Sex Girl’s Brigade (Maia Serena), Metacartography and Anakrid (Chris Bickel). He has published three books, “Science: Omnipotent Art Form” (2002), “Evicted Riddlebook of Unknockupied Logic,” a critically acclaimed 3D collage series (2003), and “Omiphantozmiss Envelopex,” (2004). Vimana is the creator of two board games, “Outerground Railroad” (2005) and it’s sequel, “Language: A Dead Language” (2007). In his most recent release, “Language: A Dead Language” Vimana “abandons collage and embraces drawing as a main magic sorce.”His Immaginarium has been striving to archive independent releases and publications for over ten years. The Immaginarium is both a transient locale as well as an art collective. The temporal facilities currently called “Immaginarium” hosts ritual events primarily centered around sound and escape. The Immaginarium is also known for Twanda, Vimana’s customized van, whish has served as the Pure Injoyment “Mobile Liebury.” The now defunct Mobile Liebury contained hundreds of independently published zines and a large variety of thoroughly manipulated thrift store books.
Liebury clientele were encouraged to completely revamp books before returning them. Recently, Vimana has been working with stop animation attempting to expand gaps just beyond the subliminal influence, “in order to advance evolution in 4th dimensional thought.” Seven Eight is a direct reaction to the digitalization of popular media, premiering in the month of September at Space 1026 and Brooklyn’s Legendary Silent Barn. Seven Eight’s gumball machines with one dollar pieces of art work, offer works by PEDRO, Dan Brown, DEEKER, Dark Cloud, Maggie Pounds, Delilah Knuckley, MORPHEOUS, Brian Narwhalz and AVOID pi. In addition to Seven Eight, and Permanent Ink Issue 11, there will be decks of Tarot cards available, all designed by artists exhibiting works in Ebonza.
