Artist Lecture: Kathy Rose

Kathy Rose Artist Lecture

Questions:

1. Do you feel like your animation/drawing background led into your performance work? How did the transition work between a 2-D based media to a dance, film, and media installation based body of work?

2. Do you feel more of a sense of liberation when using film and performance over other types of "gallery-based" media?


Response:

Favorite Quote: "I feel like creating veils in my work provides more dimension and sound makes things more atmospheric.  They are both elements to making an entire experience."

Three Words:
Puppetry
Movement
Performative

I thought the later works shown by Kathy Rose were the most interesting.  What I liked most about her work was being able to see the clear progression of how her worked changed and developed over the years.  I like that she begen with showing us earlier works that just featured hand drawn elements and movements combined. The more pieces she showed, it was evident that her movements became more intentional and more integrated with the projection.  Her drawings became more fluid and more complex until she stopped using drawings at all and began using Adobe Aftereffects and projections on the physical body. You could then see her progression to other parts of the body and even other bodies all together.  Her later works were more interesting to me with the addition of multiple channels and layers of sound, but I really enjoyed seeing the progression of artwork.
