*Skate Park(ing) Day 2016
This past Friday the 16th we had the pleasure of participating in Philadelphia’s 8th annual Park(ing) Day, presented by The Center for Architecture. The concept of the citywide event is to turn inactive vehicle parking into vibrant street-side park space, if only for a day.
We figured what better way to do so than to build the world’s smallest skate park. James Bonney and Kees Holterman designed and built the installation at break neck intensity over the course of two weeks. Many friends also lent a hand with painting and moving the dang ramps from the studio to the street. Thanks pals!
Also, a BIG thanks to Franklin’s Paine Skatepark Fund and Spectrum Skateboard Co. for extra support!

Bio;
Tyler Wolf graduated from East Carolina University in 2001 with a BFA in painting and is a former Team Lump member of Lump Gallery in Raleigh, NC. While in school, he co-founded the band Valient Thorr. In a decade and a half, and over 1300 shows from NC to Lisbon, Portugal, Budapest, London, and from California to NYC he stayed busy helping to spread a message of cosmic positivity through rock and roll. In downtime, he painted and had small shows that accompanied the tour, and it was painting that ultimately called him home in 2014.
In his recent work, he deals with the exploration of the modern world by examining the myths and legends of ancient cultures. In an age of technological advancement, are we losing what it means to be human? Is technology controlling us? Or are these advancements improving the human race.
His work has been featured on albums and t-shirts for High on Fire, Future Islands, Red Fang, Valient Thorr and several Volcom releases.

bruja! BRUJA – Friday July 1st
Al San Valentin is honored to have new work created and displayed at Space 1026. bruja! BRUJA. examines the dualistic nature of opposites. Influenced on personal and artistic levels by the writings of Pema Chödron and Alan Watts, they became interested in the concept of opposites as balanced equals. The result is a collection of work that applies this concept to personal history as it defines one’s identity, San Valentin started from their own racial and gender identities yet constructed work that should not be read as autobiographical. Rather, the images can be applied to others’ personal lives as well as our collective experience in this existence.
The works themselves experienced duality in the creation process. The structured nature of screen printed pattern is broken down by a call-and-response kind of mark-making as opposed to calculated moves. Blocks of flat color meld and contrast with defined line drawings. Mass is given to small images through repetition. These screen printed fabric pieces co-exist with black ink illustrations on white paper.
San Valentin sees these works as the beginning, just barely reconciling the systems in our lives that contain two opposite yet equal parts. To recognize the opposites in oneself and accept the need for both parts in order for either to exist. To summon the ghosts of one’s past- the faults and successes, the joys and sorrows- and work with them, allowing oneself to be softened by the ache of their presence.
Al San Valentin lives and works in Philadelphia. They work at a local arts-based preschool, where the uninhibited matter in which children create art is a major influence on their work. San Valentin constantly seeks to return to that moment in life where the path between the image in the mind and the pencil in the hand is gloriously unbroken.
