Monica Lopez De Victoria, 28, and Tasha Lopez De Victoria, 26, grew up in Miami and collaborate under the name TM Sisters. They work in the media of video, digital video performance, VJing, collage, social experiments, zines, clothing, installations, and interactive video created along with their brother Samuel. Their do-it-yourself ethic began with their being home-schooled together by their parents. Their upbringing included frequent discussions regarding spirituality, psychology, behavior, relationships, creativity, and truth. The sisters’ work has been included in the international exhibitions “Uncertain States of America: American Art in the 3rd Millennium,” curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Daniel Birnbaum, and Gunnar B. Kvaran; the Second Moscow Biennial of Contemporary Art; and “PERFORMA 07.” Recent exhibitions include “(((sparks))),” Hedreen Gallery at Seattle University, Seattle, WA and “IDEALTONIGHT,” Hollywood Art and Culture Center, Hollywood, FL.
We are pleased to share that Kate Gilmore has been selected to participate in the 2010 Whitney Biennial!
A limited edition photograph by the artist is now available at Locust Projects.

By Any Means (aftermath) was produced in conjunction with Gilmore’s exhibition By Any Means, at Locust Projects. By Any Means is a performance-based video and site-specific sculpture in which the physicality of architecture is pitted against the female body and will. Gilmore is the sole protagonist in her single-channel videos, where she sets up a difficult physical task to overcome. Her videos, always filmed in private, are destructive, comedic and only attempted once. For By Any Means, 2009, Gilmore, donned in feminine dress and heels, dug, built and climbed her way out of a dirt-filled wooden sculpture. The large-scale sculpture was installed in Locust Projects’ adjacent courtyard for the duration of the exhibition. Outside of the video piece, this special edition photograph is the only evidence of the performance.
Kate Gilmore received a MFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2002 and was the 2007-08 recipient of the Rome Prize. Gilmore’s work was recently on view as part of “Reflections on the Electric Mirror: New Feminist Video” at the Brooklyn Museum, New York and on MTV’s outdoor video screen in Times Square, New York in “Chewing Color” curated by Marilyn Minter. Recent exhibitions include the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia; Smith-Stewart Gallery, New York; Akademie Der Kunste, Berlin; Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, Istanbul; Apex Art, New York; Artpace, San Antonio; Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati; Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, Waltham; Menil Collection, Houston, MAK Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna.
All proceeds provide funding for Locust Projects’ exhibitions and programming.
