Opening reception
First Friday, June 3rd 6-10pm
Little Berlin presents an exhibit of works produced or informed by pre-institutional culture making experiences.
Established in our peripheries are bumbling excess, intimacy, play, teen angst, and the seductive allure of rock stars.
Curated by Leslie Rogers. Accompanying performance writings by Kate Kraczon.

Tonight at 7pm artist Carl Diehl will be giving a lecture on his Metaphortean Research.
“An official, if speculative, genealogy of Metaphortean Research to be presented at Little Berlin gallery in Philadelphia on Saturday May 28th. Arriving at the end of the current exhibit of Very Amateur Society of Science and Technology, this Metaphortean presentation will include several nused and emergent Metaphortean pursuits, including the audio-visually augmented para-lecture version of Polterzeitgest.”
After the lecture celebration will commence.
What a month it has been for VASST.info. Read more about this exhibit using the title of the show in your browser. Also be sure to check out the digital catalog for a more ordered reference to each piece in the exhibit. The digital catalog for VASST.info was made possible using Treesaver, an open source javascript framework enabled using html and css. An easy to follow step by step process is available on github, which for those not familiar, github is a social coding network. The beauty of the internet is it’s ability to share information and educate all those willing to learn, for free. VASST.info mirrors this sentiment.
Thank you Breadboard’s David Clayton & Dan Schimmel for expanding the gallery space and inviting little berlin to exhibit. Art spaces should cross pollinate, thrilled to have the opportunity.
Thank you to Peter Crimmins and Carolyn Beeler at Newsworks.org for their inquisitive article and interview. The interview investigates the relationship of art and science pairing artists, Angela McQuillan & April Aguillard with their lecturer, Camille McQuillan. I suggest that after listening to this podcast, you check out Camille McQuillan’s lecture.

Little Berlin is well on it’s way to completing construction on our new space and it is amazing! We are very proud to introduce this unique space and it will surely become inspirational grounds for any installation an artist could imagine. i.e. amazing That said, we are happy to announce our first show for 2011. Breadboard EKG Project Space and little berlin offer a dual site exhibition opening Friday, April 29th at Breadboard’s EKG Project Space and Friday, May 6th 2011 at little berlin, VASST.info, Very Amateur Society for Science and Technology.
VASST.info investigates the pairing of science & art through asking select artists to produce a science experiment. As a result the artists have brought forth unique views in science ranging in biology, chemistry, psychology, astronomy, physics, acoustics, horticulture & anthropology.
VASST.info is also literally a website. The artists have been asked to post articles, photos, thoughts and related research to their work on the site. Information will continue to stream between the exhibit and VASST.info.
