Kate Gilmore


ng Bruce Nauman’s Dance or Exercise on the Perimeter of a Square (1967-68) and Richard Serra’sFrame (1969) as points of departure, this exhibition brings together for the first time recent video work that documents artists’ bodily confrontation with the frame of the camera and boundaries delimited within. Through a variety of movements, procedures, and performances, the artists in Framed investigate the space between self and environment, self and other, and the divide between what is recorded by a camera and the indefinite expanse of unmediated life. Each video depicts the artist as he or she marks, follows, or grapples with a boundary and thereby maps the space of a now-expanded studio, still encompassing the familiar territory of four-walled artist’s studio, but also stretching into the street, city, and wider surroundings.
Framed features Serra and Nauman’s seminal films along with recent works by Kate Gilmore, Sigalit Landau, Lilly McElroy, Robin Rhode, Melanie Schiff, and Type A.

I try and take them further, and they lose all their qualities, and they lose everything. I think I would say that I tend to destroy all the better paintings. DS Can you never get it back once it’s gone over the top? FB Not now, and less and less. As the way I work is totally, now, accidental, and becomes more and more accidental, and doesn’t seem to behave, as it were, unless it is accidental, how can I recreate an accident? It’s almost an impossible thing to do. DS But you might get another accident on the same canvas. FB One might get another accident, bit it would never be quite the same. This is the thing that can probably happen only in oil paint, because it is so subtle that one tone, one piece of paint, that moves one thing into ...

WHAT IS POP ART - Interviews

ANDY WARHOL Someone said that Brecht wanted everybody to think alike. I want everybody to think alike. But Brecht wanted to do it through Communism, in a way. Russia is doing it under government. It's happening here all by itself without being under a strict government; so if it's working without trying, why can't it work without being Communist? Everybody looks alike and acts alike, and we're getting more and more that way. I think everybody should be a machine. I think everybody should like everybody. Is that what Pop Art is all about? Yes. It's liking things. And liking things is like being a machine? Yes, because you do the same thing every time. You do it over and over again. And you approve of that? Yes, because it's all fantasy. It's hard to be creative and it's also hard not to think what you do is creative or hard not to be called creative because everybody is always talking about that and individuality. Everybody's always being cre...
