September 4–November 17

Coming to Lafayette College’s Grossman Gallery on September 4, Kate Gilmore: In Your Way meshes multiple mediums—including nine performance-based videos with one live performance and sculptural installation—to create a relational encounter with the stunning art whose perceived goal is to rearrange our thinking of structures of power. While contained in self-constructed spaces, the exhibition features several women performing labor-intensive tasks dressed in stereotypical female clothing.

Through her exploration of feminist themes and contemporary art tropes, Kate Gilmore both critiques and asserts herself within the male-dominated movements of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism. This political, critical, ingenious installation is on display until November 17.
