Edition of 5 Hopelessly Devoted Press Release for exhibition 17 November - 23 December, 2006 In her video performances, Kate Gilmore creates uncomfortable situations for herself and the viewer. These are real predicaments—sometimes painful and even potentially dangerous—but ones that she has created for herself. Gilmore’s video works force you to squirm in a strange empathetic reaction to her predicaments. Included in this exhibition will be two new works: “Main Squeeze” and “Anything....” “Main Squeeze” is a two-channel video, showing the artist both coming and going as she attempts to pull herself through an ever-smaller tunnel. Her feminine, turquoise satin top becomes caught on screws and she appears to suffer bouts of claustrophobia before she finally reaches the end of the tunnel. In “Anything...” Gilmore sets up a particularly resonant scenario for the viewer. Filmed from above, she appears to reach toward you, attempting to reach ever higher, as she builds a precarious assemblage of tables, chairs, and stools, strung together with a delicate pink twine, upon which to climb. “Her carefully constructed performances belie the impression of futility and hopelessness one might take away from her work. Rather, her meticulous control of both sets and costumes hints at the elaborate farce the artist is trying to create in her humorous video performances.” (Katharine C. Ebner, 2005) Kate Gilmore’s work has been exhibited at PS1 “Greater New York 2005,” The J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Haifa Museum of Art, and is currently on view in a two-person exhibition at the CAC, Cincinnati and in a group show at Mary Boone Gallery, curated by Amy Smith-Stewart.   RESUME Born: Washington D.C, 1975 Live/Work: New York EDUCATION 2002 School of Visual Arts, Master of Fine Arts, New York, New York 1997 Bates College, Bachelor of Arts, Lewiston, Maine SOLO and TWO-PERSON EXHIBITIONS 2008 “Kate Gilmore,” Artpace San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas (January) Franco Soffiantino Arte Contemporanea, Turin, Italy (June) Pierogi Gallery, Brooklyn, New York (November) Smith-Stewart Gallery, New York, New York (November) 2006 "Hopelessly Devoted," Pierogi Gallery, Brooklyn, New York “Experimental Personalities: Kate Gilmore and Angie Reed,” Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati, OH (November 17, 2006–January 21, 2007) 2005 "Kate Gilmore", Real Art Ways, Hartford, Connecticut 2004 "On My Way to the Prom the World Collapsed on My Head", White Columns, New York, NY "If My Shoes Matched My Dress I Could Destroy You", Plus Ultra Gallery, Brooklyn, NY GROUP EXHIBITIONS 2008 “Environments and Empires,” Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, Waltham, MA “Making Sense of It All,” San Francisco Art Commission Gallery, San Francisco, California 2007 "Held Together With Water, Sammlung Verbund at the MAK Museum of Applied Arts Vienna," MAK Museum of Applied Arts Vienna, Vienna, Austria “Red Badge of Courage,” Newark Council for the Arts, Newark, New Jersey “Making Noise,” South Street Seaport Museum: Melville Gallery, (Lower Manhattan Cultural Council), New York, New York “Destroy, She Said,” Julia Stoschek Collection, Dusseldorf, Germany “Ceci n’est pas… (This is not…),” Sara Meltzer Gallery, New York, New York “Foam of the Daze,” Smith-Stewart, New York, New York “(Un)Natural Selection,” Pierogi Gallery, Brooklyn, New York “Line-Up,” Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City, New York “Come One Come All,” 3rd Ward, Brooklyn, New York “Architecture and Design Biennial,” Tel Aviv, Israel “What F Word?” Cynthia Broan Gallery, New York, New York “The Feminine Mysterious,” Red Dot Contemporary, West Palm Beach, Florida “I Could Be You,” Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart, Germany “MASH,” The Helena: Cottelston Advisors, New York, New York “Out of the Loop,” BICA, Brooklyn, New York “L'axe Bartholdi,” La Vapeur, Dijon, France 2006 “Heartbreaker,” Mary Boone Gallery, New York, NY.
