Performance art is HUGE in New York City, yet, like modern dance, it’s generally under appreciated, even by those in the more traditional (and profitable) arts, i.e., theater, film & TV. Plus — it can be weird and the chance of public ridicule can be high.
Kate Gilmore does not flinch from these challenges, and she creates what I consider great art of this form. Post-modernist will struggle to describe and interpret her work — and they’ll fail, but through no fault of their own. The deepest things are undescribable yet they grab us by the lapels and wake us up.
