Edit ProfileCareer
Gilmore received her masters of fine arts in 2002 from the School of Visual Arts in New York Gilmore"s work engages with ideas of femininity through her own physicality and critiques of gender and sexual Gilmore currently lives and works in New York City, New York Gilmore has exhibited at the 2010 Whitney Biennial, the Brooklyn Museum, The Indianapolis Museum of Art, White Columns. Contemporary Arts Center (Cincinnati), Artpace, The Jean Paul Getty Museum, The Rose Art Museum, and PS1/MoMA Contemporary Art Center.
The overarching themes in Gilmore"s work are the traditional social constructs of the feminine and modes - literal and metaphorical - of liberation from those constructs.
She engages with these themes through motifs that include physical pain (often apparently futile and demoralizing), sound (exasperated vocalizations and music), and props (including ramshackle wood constructions, hammers, axes, etc).
