The Department of Photography and Film and the Department of Kinetic Imaging present artist, Kathy Rose, whose work has evolved from her early drawn animated films of the 1970s, through her unique, pioneering performance work combining dance with film in the 1980-90s, to her current surreal performance video spectacles and installations, with influence from symbolist art and the Japanese Noh theater. Rose has received a Guggenheim in Performance Art in 2003, and in 2005 an awarded a New York State Council on the Arts grant in Video (Media & New Technology). In 2010 she was awarded a Faculty Enrichment Grant from The University of the Arts for creation of a new performance, Interiosity.

Your work seems like it is addressing different topics that are hidden or mentioned in the gestures I would like to know more about the gestures chosen in the performance videos?


Someone asked specificly about the hand gestures she uses, that is somehting I was very interested in. She mentioned breifly that she has always been very gestural expressing what she is saying with her hands, and it just translates into her work.

 

Could you talk a little bit about the awards you have received in the past and how you have made some of the amazing accomplishments you have gotten?


Another person asked about how she specificly got so many grants and it came to a simple answer, Apply to a lot of different grants and sometimes ou get some and sometimes you don't.
