--> 04/25/2014, “A psychedelic tapestry serves as backdrop. Dream catchers float in the air. Audience members line the artwork-covered walls. In the next room, more art, more audience: A TV casts a sea of haze atop a mock fireplace, while half the room swims in a light installation. Poet and musician Marshall James Kavanaugh gives a dream-story preamble before donning a unicorn mask and blasting away on trumpet.“

http://technical.ly/philly/2013/10/09/limits-and-demonstrations-little-berlin-lula-chamberlain/ [little berlin]
...: 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.“

...: 03/21/2013, “The opening night party, a reception unlike any other, gave an idea of what’s to come throughout March. 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.”

...: 03/14/2013, “Releasing its audiences from the conventional gallery experience, the current exhibition at Kensington’s Little Berlin Gallery uses ideas from Plato’s Republic to explore the evolution of a new world outside of the familiar. 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?”

...: 03/13/2013, “When I met PPC creators and curators Marshall James Kavanaugh and Augustus Depenbrock at Little Berlin, I was left to marvel at the bizarre remnants of the March 2 opening reception, a spectacle that took not only six months to conceptualize, but a cast and crew of more than 35 friends and friends of friends to bring to life.”

--x 02/15/2012, “Recording their Key Studio Session last week, I was able to dissect the interplay: Hamilton plays rhythm bass chords in a sharp, punchy, aggressive manner; Ben Contois plays lead bass licks that run the gamut from guitar solos an octave down to eerie organ-sounding arpeggios; and Marshall James Kavanaugh plays bass-bass, all washed out and rumbly as he delivers a robust Ian Curtis-esque vocal.”
