“Over at Space 1026, there’s a girl-group art collective from Providence, RI, Dirt Palace, strutting its collaborative art-making and installation chops. As in all the collaborative installations that sweep through Space 1026, this one had its highlights. The best in this exhibit, Secret Rooms of the Dirtpalace – Volume 3, was a quilt draped on a sofa that lives in the exhibition space at 1026. The quilt was covered with sparkly breasts–or maybe the little mounds of Dots candy on a scroll of paper. Either way, they looked like you could actually sit on them without pain–kind of those funny, fashionable shoe insole bumps—for the whole body.”

WAR IS OVER
November 12, 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SPECIAL TIMES EDITION BLANKETS U.S. CITIES, PROCLAIMS END TO WAR

Early this morning, commuters nationwide were delighted to find out
that while they were sleeping, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had
come to an end.
If, that is, they happened to read a “special edition” of today’s New
York Times.
In an elaborate operation six months in the planning, 1.2 million
papers were printed at six different presses and driven to prearranged
pickup locations, where thousands of volunteers stood ready to pass
them out on the street.
Articles in the paper announce dozens of new initiatives including the
establishment of national health care, the abolition of corporate
lobbying, a maximum wage for C.E.O.s, and, of course, the end of the
war.
The paper, an exact replica of The New York Times, includes
International, National, New York, and Business sections, as well as
editorials, corrections, and a number of advertisements, including a
recall notice for all cars that run on gasoline. There is also a
timeline describing the gains brought about by eight months of
progressive support and pressure, culminating in President Obama’s “Yes
we REALLY can” speech. (The paper is post-dated July 4, 2009.)
“It’s all about how at this point, we need to push harder than ever,”
said Bertha Suttner, one of the newspaper’s writers. “We’ve got to make
sure Obama and all the other Democrats do what we elected them to do.
After eight, or maybe twenty-eight years of hell, we need to start
imagining heaven.”
Not all readers reacted favorably. “The thing I disagree with is how
they did it,” said Stuart Carlyle, who received a paper in Grand
Central Station while commuting to his Wall Street brokerage. “I’m all
for freedom of speech, but they should have started their own paper.”

New Ancient Structures, AJ FOSIK & ANDREW SCHOULTZ at Space 1026
NEW ANCIENT STRUCTURES
AJ Fosik and Andrew Schoultz
January 9th-30th, 2009.
Opening Reception: January 9th, 7-10pm
***********
AJ FOSIK AND ANDREW SCHOULTZ
NEW ANCIENT STRUCTURES
Space 1026 is pleased to present AJ Fosik and Andrew Schoultz New Ancient Structures an art exhibition, opening Second Friday January 9th from 7 to 10 pm at 1026 Arch Street in Philadelphia.
Showing for the first time in Philadelphia, San Francisco-based painter Andrew Schoultz joins Philadelphia-based sculptor AJ Fosik to present a collaborative installation at Space 1026. With drawings spilling off the wall and sculptures filling the floor, New Ancient Structures will fill the gallery with an explosion of color, pattern and potent imagery.
AJ FOSIK
Drawing inspiration from his background creating street art and signage, AJ FOSIK is a Philadelphia-based sculptor who creates animal abstractions, or as he calls them “existential fetishes.” Totemic apparitions of ursine beasts and delicately rendered paintings skirt American folk art and psychedelia. Cryptic symbols from overlapping sources, traditional and contemporary, create a dynamic mashup. Fosik has recently exhibited at the L.J. Beaubourg in Paris and White Walls in San Francisco.
ANDREW SCHOULTZ
With his distinctively ornate, intricately rendered imagery, ANDREW SCHOULTZ insinuates a greater state of global frenzy. Themes touching on environmental and social destruction allude to the artist’s awareness of both the environment he creates and the one in which he exists. Schoultz addresses confined space with unlimited possibility, based on his penchant for creating large-scale murals in public spaces. Schoultz has upcoming exhibitions at V1 Gallery in Copenhagen, Denmark and Roberts and Tilton in Los Angeles and his work has recently been acquired by the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
