AUCTION TIME: 1026 Art Auction PREVIEW & Merch Madness

6 to 9pm

Stop by the gallery and preview art auction items. Visitors in the gallery and online can place bids on our eBay auction that will run throughout the following week.

Merch Madness will be in effect as well with your favorite Space 1026 artists selling their wares.

AUCTION TIME: Live Call In Show from 7-9pm
Mary Beth Flannery and Eduardo Luardo come from a retail and performance art background. They are longtime fans of home shopping as they were both extremely overweight for several years and couch-ridden. They will be hosting a very special hour of Space1026 Shop From Home, “AUCTION TIME!” this December 5, 2008.

They started the show, “Auction Time” after a stint on The Antique Road Show where they were humiliated after bringing what they though was an authentic alicorn (unicorn horn).

They live and work in Narberth, Pennsylvania with their 3 cats, Chairman Meow, Col. Otis J. Whiskerson and Lord Alfred Powerbottom and their many collectible dolls.

Skateboarding, Action, and Architecture

October 23: PIFAS

Faculty-member Brandon Joyce shares his inexpert opinions on how it is action that anoints architecture with meaning. Calling on street-skating as a high model, he’ll speak about how use, misuse, and transformation can override- or even negate- intent and expression in architectural design.

The talk will be short and followed by a discussion on the topics… and, of course, more skate videos.

Coffee will be served.
8PM
Free and Open to the Public

Secret Rooms of the Dirtpalace – Volume 3:

Opening November 7, 2008 6 – 11pm
November 7 – November 29, 2008

Space 1026
1026 Arch St. Second Floor, Philadelphia, PA

The Dirtpalace is an inconspicuous rotting brick building in the thick of opinionated pedestrians, aggressive loud-mouthed drivers and Rhode Island’s finest hot weiners that is Olneyville Square. Which is to say that it is a cupcake encrusted netherworld docked along the shore of the Woonasquatucket river.

In it‘s past lives it was a library, a place of worship, a junk pile, a basement phone sex operation, and a drug store. It is now a place where nobody lives, where nobody ever lived and where there are many books and cats and girls lingering in confusing hallways inventing things potentially not in the most efficient way nor using the scientific method.

The Dirtpalace may be explained to strangers/parents/squares by employing the pithy catch phrase “An All female Art Collective in Providence, RI”. The word feminist is also relevant and frequently used, as are the words cold, broke(n), impossible and nusto-broads.

In the show “Secret Rooms of the Dirtpalace – Volume 3…” we present you with real and hypothetical furnishings from behind the trapdoor bookcases. Artifacts of histories as varied as the day and night, saturated in love, loss, explosion, boredom, useless junk, phantom fame, deception and loyalty.

to learn more about the dirt palace check out their website.

they also have a flickr.
