About The Exhibit
Opening Reception: March
2nd, 7-11pm
Harrison Haynes and George Jenne grew up
together in the North Carolina Piedmont, attended Rhode Island School
of Design (BA's in Painting and Film, respectively), and currently
share a studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This is their first joint
show.
For his small watercolors on paper, Harrison
Haynes works from snapshots and polaroids, both made and found,
to describe disorientation and loneliness that occur during the
short period of time between late afternoon and evening.
George Jenne's paintings draw on images from
the eerily lush Southeast. His work is presented in a linear,
story board format and depicts the nuances and atmosphere of Southern
culture.
A full-scale stand of naked, monochrome
trees (a collaboration between the artists) divides the gallery
space in half. |

About
the Gallery
Space 1026 is
many things. It is an artist cooperative and gallery, which features
monthly exhibits. They currently provide studios and facilities
for 15 individuals: Jen Danos - Adam Crawford - Isaac Lin - Ed Brogna
- Max Lawrence - Andrew Jeffrey Wright - Adam Wallacavage - Jeff
Wiesner - Brian Fox - Dan Murphy - George Norris - Clare Rojas -
Ben Woodward - Roland Burns - Ellie Lum . Individuals who rent studios
here have access to the screenprinting facilities, the computer
lab, and have input on the monthly shows in our gallery and other
events at 1026.
Other functions of the space include:
Abacus Studios -an
inhouse graphic design studio which creates CD ROMs, multi-media
presentations, websites and other promotional materials.
Double Negative Magazine, which
features creative writing, fine art photography, and illustrations,
as well as interviews with some of the artists who have shows here.
The 2nd floor screenprinting tables are used
to print the show posters and are accesible to 1026's studio artists.
The company's owners: Roland
and Ellie, after becoming friends as bike messengers in Philadelphia,
created the messanger bag company R.E.Load .
The founders of Space 1026 are:
Ben Woodward: RISD
alum studied film cos it was the only one of his many interests
that he believed he actually needed schooling for. The rest of the
fun stuff - computers, photography, music - he could pick up as
he went along. Think he's wrong? Check back soon for samples and
examples of his work.
John Freeborn: One
of the first to arrive in a U-Haul filled with a bunch of junk that
we called home. Architect by training but multimedia master by trade,
John has left the flock to pursue solo interests. Keep abreast of
his latest at his website: www.johnfreeborn.com
Max Lawrence: Almost
a year after 1026 started, Max recognized a good thing when he saw
it. He left the New England area to join 1026 and quickly jumped
in with both feet. He focuses primarily on video and music editing,
as well as his own brand of hyper-sur-realism painting. Flicks and
tricks coming soon.
Jeff Wiesner: AKA
Key Commander, the heat miser, another shining example of the jack-of-many-trades
that is common among 1026ers. An information and communications
junkie, he has placed himself at the center of much of the activity
at 1026. Jeff heads up Abacus Studios, the graphic design sector
of 1026, and independently publishes the nationally-distributed
arts magazine, Double Negative.
Andrew Jeffrey Wright:
The man with 3 names has been down with 1026 since day one. Though
he was originally pushing for a spot closer to the suburbs, he eventually
also agreed that Center City is the place for us. His animated antics
and humorous zines - not to mention the famed Manipulaters project
- help to keep everything in perspective around here. Video clips
coming soon.
