I had the chance to sit down with Marc after his Kitchen Table Gallery show last fall. We got into painting portraits of Philly locals, his Coal Country documentary, and some dark & twisted Philly history! Here's a brief description from our website about the paintings shown at KTG:

Brodzik's paintings are a complex response to the environment of his youth, the direction of his education, and our market driven culture. He seeks to give voice to a society that is cajoled by fear to live beyond its means through signs, slogans and logos. By adopting these very images of "product" he subverts the message of pro-consumerism.

In Episode 2 of KTG Talks we have my conversation with Amanda Wagner that took place last fall. Amanda talked with me about her exciting new collaborative platform, Curate This, which you can link to below. In our conversation we talk Philly Arts, why Philly should have a greater presence in the international Arts community, and creating a digital platform for artists to showcase their talents.

In the gallery's first episode I sit down with Philly artist Marek Danielewski. We get into being a kid in Poland, how he got to the City of Brotherly Love, sci-fi influences, and working it all out through art.
