screened at Nuns Island Studio Galway, 12th - 26th November

Philadelphia based Kathy Rose’s work has evolved from her early drawn animated films of the 1970’s, through her unique, pioneering performance work combining dance with film in the 1980-90’s, to her current surreal performance video spectacles and installations, with influence from symbolist art and the Japanese Noh theater. Rose received a Guggenheim in Performance Art in 2003, and several of her works can be seen on youtube.com

In Life in the Web, Rose layers her videos with vestiges of her performance explorations, as well as exploring a new kind of puppetry. She is especially intrigued by an autobiographical vision, drawing upon the artist’s own reality to add detail and authenticity to the work.
