The UNT Art Gallery hosts Girl Fight, an exhibition of video works by New York artist Kate Gilmore, originally displayed at Artpace San Antonio as part of the Hudson (Show) Room series.
In all of the works Gilmore takes a lead role in performances about futility, perseverance and identity in universal situations, such as relationships and competitions. Infused with sarcasm, vulnerability and real struggle, the action unfolds with increasing discomfort for the artist and the viewer. Gilmore’s works evoke a new generation’s voice about feminism, personal character and the human journey, prompting us to contemplate the nature of purpose.
This program was made possible in part with a grant from Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
