Going to New York? Check these Philly folks out

Postcard image, by Andrew Jeffrey Wright and Crystal Stokowski, for Indexiphilia, show of Space 1026 at BravinLee Programs.

Our favorite Philly collective with street chops and massive ties to Fort Thunder and Shephard Fairey, Space 1026, is opening a room-wrapping installation of made-on-the-spot screenprints and other hand-made stuff at BravinLee Programs this week. The show opens Friday, July 20, 6-8 pm and runs to Aug. 17. The gallery set up a flickr site with installation shots of the group at work, and there’s a blog with one entry. The gallery space looks like a challenge for the Space (ie, small. This is a group at home in humungous spaces like the ICA, Yerba Buena Center etc).
