Kate Gilmore

The Pink song reminds me, in a roundabout way, of the video/performance artist Kate Gilmore. Her works have a game-like quality to them (although they are usually solo games). For example, in With Open Arms, Gilmore tries to keep a cheesy smile on her face while someone offscreen pelts her with tomatoes. Most of her work includes sculptural or architectural elements--drywall that she kicks through with pink high heels, a perforated floor that she tries to walk on with spiky heels and ends up destroying, a bucket of plaster encasing her foot. I am reminded of the old 80s show Double Dare. Check out http://www.kategilmore.com/stills/index.html .
