Mark Henninger & Ken Blahut
Mark Henninger’s “City in Transmutation: AI Vision of Philadelphia” and Ken Blahut’s “Modern Age Paintings & Sculptures” will be on display Sept. 1-30, 2023.
Opening Reception
Friday, September 1st, 2023
6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Space 1026
844 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19130
As artificial intelligence rapidly changes the way we interact with the world around us, Philadelphia artist Mark Henninger is wielding it as a tool, resulting in vibrant and intriguing photo-paintings. To create the digital paintings, Mark uses his photos of Philadelphia as substrate, and AI as his brush. His artistic toolset includes digital cameras, drones, knowledge of psychedelics, plus graphics programs. All pieces are printed with pigment inks on canvas, watercolor paper, or giclée art paper.
By contrast, using only his hands, paint, and rudimentary tools, Ken Blahut has created compellingly modern artwork. Ken’s mixed media sculptures embody the antithesis of new technology. Obsolete, discarded, and distressed objects like rusted cans, old tools, and fragments of ruined buildings get new life through juxtaposition, allowing them to be reconsidered and made relevant to contemporary life. Ken’s “modern age” paintings are created with cold wax using a method that combines the traditionally lush colors of oil paint with a medium that is ideal for retaining texture and for layering colors. Abstract and richly atmospheric paintings invite the viewer to contribute their own interpretations.
About Mark Henninger
Born in New York City, Mark Henninger spent his childhood around the world in Africa and Europe. After returning to the U.S. for high school, he studied both traditional photography and computer graphics. His visual art combines his skill with a camera, his embrace of new technologies like AI, and his 30-year push to elevate digital printing to its highest levels.
When he’s not making art, Mark is editor of Sound & Vision magazine, and founder/moderator of Audiophiles on a Budget, one of Facebook’s largest AV discussion groups. He cofounded photo-video firm Imagic Digital, is a Level 10 Google Local Guide, and composes original music as Dub King. Visit markhenninger.com for more information.
About Ken Blahut
From the outside looking in, Ken is what you might call a sleeper. A mild-mannered electrical engineer with a 30-year career at the FAA, having graduated from Cornell. Looking deeper, you find that throughout all this, he studied music, raised a family, took drawing and painting classes, and ran a marathon in every state. After his retirement, Ken has devoted all his bountiful energy to his art. His work has shown recently at Cerulean Gallery and in the Hilton Head Art League Biennale.
Additional gallery visits can be arranged during the month of September, contact ricejodi@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.

Friday, May 12
9pm – ?pm
Fracking is an environmental health hazard used to cultivate precious resources from our soil, it not only destroys the earth but endangers communities depending on that land by introducing pollutants into the water and soil of indigenous and often black and brown communities. What if our governments prioritized the deep digging of our emotional worlds, rather than our lands? What hidden resources lie within the depths of our bodies? Emotional Fracking poses the question: What if the amount of money put into destroying our earth to find oil was applied to the individual, the community? What would it mean if we used Emotional Fracking to cultivate deep personal growth that could help us create a more liveable and peaceful world?

ANNSON CONAWAY | In Some Room Above The Street
April 7 – April 28, 2023
Opening Reception
Friday April 7
6pm – 10 pm
SPACE 1026
844 N. Broad St.
Philadelphia
Annson Conaway is an artist based in Gouglersville, Pennsylvania. The body of work in his solo exhibition, IN SOME ROOM ABOVE THE STREET, shows people gathered in interior spaces doing mostly mundane, everyday activities.
In one scene, commuters sit side-by-side and escape into their personal portable distractions. In another, a family watches a Phillies game huddled around a TV together. We see a couple seated around the fire, one asleep and one contently becoming radicalized by her choice of reading material; a trio of people smoking cigarettes in a gritty, unidentifiable public space, decorated with only a tiny trash can and a giant Pennsylvania Lottery ad; and two guys working on a car in their garage, a pinup poster and a novelty street sign hiding in the shadows around a bright window with a view of identical rowhomes. While not always glamorous, these scenes aren’t all drab—we also see a jazz singer and pianist in patterned gowns performing around a red curtain—though it’s unclear who their audience is, or if they even have one.
And then there’s the apparent outlier: a nude woman reclined in the desert, a figure walking towards her silhouetted by the sunset. Is it a mirage? A fantasy of escape? Or are these the lucky ones that got away from it all and made it out to the other side…
In these rooms above the street, people are living their lives. And in a room above a street, Annson created these pieces. And now, at last, you have the pleasure of viewing them in—you guessed it—SOME ROOM ABOVE THE STREET!
