Involving more than 300 artists at more than 80 venues throughout the city, Philagrafika 2010 will be one of the largest art events in the United States and the world’s most important print-related exposition.

Stop by Space 1026 tonight for their annual art auction. Bid on items from friends and residents of Space 1026 including Shepherd Fairey, Alex DaCorte, Jim Houser and many more. Personally I’m hoping there will be something from Adam Wallacavage, I want one of his octopus chandeliers for my house. Definitely recommended, I usually walk out with $300+ of great art every year. Opening bid on all items is $5. Doors open at 6 and bidding begins at 7. Cash, check and credit cards welcome.

Tonight marks the opening of New Ancient Structures at Space 1026. This exhibition is a collaboration from AJ Fosik and Andrew Schoultz.
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.
Judging from the preview above, this should be an exciting and extremely colorful exhibition. Its a short month due to new years so see it before its over on January 30th.

Cool Hunting catches up with Alex to find out what inspires him and see some of his latest work. Also interviewed is Fleischer-Ollman’s director William Pym.
I was sold after seeing his show at the Black Floor “Welcome Your Sorrows“. I was then floored when a custom snake, similar to the ones at that show and at 2:22, went for over $900 at the Space 1026 auction.
