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.

Leon Reid IV Lectures at Space 1026
Leon Reid IV will present over 150 images of street work as featured in his new book, “The Adventures Of Darius and Downey” As told to Ed Zipco. The lecture will follow his trajectory from graffiti to street artist and detail his current urban interventions.
Book signing and sale after lecture.
The Adventures Of Darius and Downey, As told to Ed Zipco, is street art’s first non-fiction novel. This as-told-to narrative explores the excitement, danger and tragedy of the urban art experience. Author Ed Zipco intimately details the creative relationship between Leon Reid IV (a.k.a Verbs, a.k.a, Darius Jones) and Brad Downey, two young artists coming of age in Brooklyn, New York City.

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Group art show opening
With Friends Like These
November 8 – December 3, 2008
Reception: Saturday, November 8, 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Giant Robot Gallery
437 East 9th Street Between 1st Ave. & Ave. A, in the East Village
New York, New York 10009
(212) 674-GRNY (4769) | grny.net
Giant Robot is proud to present With Friends Like These, a group show featuring new works by Isaac Lin and AJ Fosik.
After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design in 1998 with a BFA in painting, Isaac Tin Wei Lin moved to Philadelphia. There, he became a Space 1026 member, made paintings and screen prints, participated in shows, and worked odd jobs. In 2003, he moved to San Francisco to attend California College of the Arts. Completing his MFA, he attended a two-month long residency at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Having had his fill of school, he returned to Philadelphia where he continues to create art ranging from psychedelic, hyper detailed illustration to found photos adormed with geometric corruption.
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. Viewers are confronted with cryptic symbols from overlapping sources, both traditional and contemporary, creating a dynamic tension where art and viewer come together in an expanded definition of culture and assumption.
A reception for Lin and Fosik will be held from 6:30 to 10:00 on Saturday, November 8. For more information about the artists, GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
