JASON MITCHELL is a poet living in Philadelphia. He is the author of Solar Flâneur (Asterion Projects, 2022) and recently completed editing The Collected Poems of George Stanley, forthcoming in Fall 2026 from The Center for Poetry & Poetics.

DEEPAK KUMAR PAREEK is a light classical singer and composer from the state of Rajasthan, India. His music covers a wide spectrum of styles: ghazals (romantic poetry), bhajans (devotional songs), kirtan, and classic film songs. Deepak first studied with his father, Shri P.N. Vyas, and later with Ustad R.F. Dagar, Ustad Moinuddin Khan and Shri Mohinderjit Singh. He has also been studying with Khayal classical singer Mrs. Kankana Banerjee, a disciple of the legendary vocalist Ustad Amir Khan. Deepak is accomplished on several musical instruments, including harmonium, tamboura, guitar, and keyboard. He is co-director of the East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram and is currently studying and performing with world-renowned vocalist Kankana Banerjee,a student of Amir Khan. Ghazals are primarily romantic poetry, celebrating the beauty of love and lovers.
THE ELUSIVE MUSIC mixes unorthodox guitar and violin composition, moody inging/growling/screaming, and audience participation with custom-built instruments and visuals. The elusive music’s songs reflect on personal, emotional, and relationship issues, social/philosophical/political topics, and incorporate themes and language from nature, science, and technology. The Elusive Music has performed at The Fire, The Nail, Milkboy South Street, The Pouch, West Philly, and Roxyunk Porchfests, and at over 200 open mics in over a dozen Philadelphia venues since 2021.

X CROSS
MAT TONELLI JAMES JOHN SMALL
JULY 10-31, 2015
OPENING RECEPTION
JULY 10, 2015
7PM-10PM
Mat Tonelli and James John Small, both dealing in constructs of moments and the sublime, find new ways to push paint in directions that follow the footsteps of Abstract Expressionists, as well as drawing elements from those considered New European. The two have many dissimilarities in their process and inspiration, but their work somehow intersects at a point, which led them to collaborate not only in a joint show, but in the execution of works of art as well. If you wanted to label these works, you could call it landscape painting; a spontaneous, organic and fitting subject matter they showcase in X CROSS.
The plane we see into on the surface is a moment of tranquility and chaos, a meditation of the awe of man in the natural world. The beauty of landscape, a base for subject matter is the reflection of what is relative to a certain individual.
While Tonelli uses form, color and shape to influence the creation of a scene, Small uses images, whether it be his own or a historical documentation, to direct the flow of his work. Often starting using washes and drips of paint, Tonelli allows the medium to dictate action from the beginning and mechanically fills space with patterns, a perfect counterpart for the tedious carving that Small employs. The two intersect at a point where they are bound to nothing but the aesthetic.

Monday night at Space 1026! Bill Daniel “Tri-X-Noise” – One night photo show with live music performed by the Baltimore String Felons!
Hobo filmmaker, phototramp Bill Daniel is back on the road with a pop-up photo show comprised of 30 years of 35mm photographs beginning with the early 80s punk scene in Texas, featuring all of your favorite old school punk bands. Daniel has continued to document various sub cultures using the same camera/lens/flash and Kodak Tri-X film for over 30 years. This exhibit, all non-digital darkroom prints, charts a path starting with punk shows in Austin and crawls through various subcultures, from the 90s graffiti scene in San Francisco, freight hopping scenarios, art openings in Los Angeles, house shows in Louisiana, generator shows on the Monongahela River, etc… all seen through Daniel’s signature spelunker style flash-lit vision.
Bill will be joined at Space 1026 with a live musical performance by The Baltimore String Felons https://www.facebook.com/baltimorestringfelons
“The Baltimore String Felons. Fantastic timelessly weird old American folk music with a punk edge…”
