Kristen Taylor of Little Berlin organized the recent exhibit “Landscape Techne” at the alternative space, a show that offered alternatives to the Hudson River view of sublime mountains, lakes, rivers and glorious sunsets.

Below is a brief sample from the interview and following that, the full 13-minute interview. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Right click to download Kristin Neville-Taylor 28 second sample
Little Berlin’s group show, Forecast, places work by newly admitted members of the collective alongside pieces by founding members. As the press release notes, with a moderating dash of sarcasm: “Get a glimpse into the future through the artwork we make. Hence the clever title, FORECAST.” Indeed, the show gives a sense of what’s happening—some good, some still coming along—here in Philly. New collective member Leslie Rogers’ video account of a mugging, “The Meeting,” is undoubtedly the highlight of the show.
