It’s how we memorialize those who have just entered this plane of existence as much as it is how we process those who have passed on into the void beyond us. It’s how we move on from heart break and get through a rough time of emotional turbulence. The poem and therefore The Poet can become the mode of catharsis to move through and beyond this tempest of emotions. It’s how we find the words to describe what we are experiencing in this thing called Human."

...: 10/09/2013, “Despite Tussman’s answers, the mystery is not quite solved. Limits and Demonstrations is a spellbinding exhibition that causes the viewer to question why there is a disconnect between the virtual and the real, and analyze his or her own efforts to close that gap. With the case of Little Berlin’s Lula Chamberlain retrospective, there is definitely more that lurks beneath the surface with this artist.“

...: 10/01/2013, “Nothing in what Tusman or game designers Jake Elliott and Tamas Kemenczy say about Chamberlain – who was ostensibly forgotten by art history because of a move to Mexico decades before her death – hints at her non-existence in physical reality. The idea of a virtual artist adds an interesting wrinkle to conceptual art, which often exists as a concept without a form; here it’s the artist that is imaginary, the work real.“

A number of shared experiences, interactive performances scheduled through the night, involved the crowd in the creation of the “new world.” Elaborate structural art pieces stationed throughout the intimate gallery space were explored, inhabited and manipulated by party-goers and the happy-go-lucky Lords of the New World—monsters and human characters created and played by artists and actors connected to the gallery.”

Plato’s Porno Cave: The New World fuses ancient and modern cultures and is influenced by the works of both Plato and, the Mayan Popol Vuh creationist text. The idea arose from a series of “what if’s.” What if the world ended with the Mayan calendar, what if humanity had to recreate society?”
