Kent Tate is a Canadian artist and filmmaker whose art practice focuses on creating single-channel movies and multi-channel video sculpture installations. Tate's movie Isolated Gestures won the Ruth Shaw Award (Best of Saskatchewan) in 2015.[1]
Early life
Born in Rivers, Manitoba,[2] Tate spent his childhood in Germany and then in Ottawa. When Tate was 14, his father died and he moved with his mother to the United States where he later began studies in painting and film.[3]
Career
Tate settled in Toronto after returning to Canada in 1980 and began an active period of exhibiting paintings, films and music.[3] Tate's career has included a broad spectrum of styles and media, experimenting with performance art, performance installation, painting, sculpture and film, including his Super 8 Epic,"Vanishing Heat".[4] During the touring of the movie "Vanishing Heat" in Canada and US, Tate's only film print was stolen in Seattle. After Tate moved to Vancouver, BC he continued to exhibit throughout the 1980s in both Vancouver and Victoria.[5] Tate, having adopted a type of Arte Povera sensibility to his work, used materials such as salt, sulphur, wax, copper, water, crude oil, house dust and electricity in his installations from 1984 to 1988.[6] In The Stalker, Tate used salt, soils, wax, copper, oil and electricity.[7]
In 1992 Tate visited the island of Hawaii, motivating him to move to Hawaii. He lived near Volcano Village, just outside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, until 2005. It was during this time that Tate produced his movie The Birthing Earth[3][8]
In Tate's career, he has received multiple residencies, grants and awards from The Banff Centre, Banff-Alberta, the Wallace Stegner House, Eastend-Saskatchewan, and Gushul Studio, Crowsnest Pass-Alberta, Saskatchewan Arts Board, the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, British Columbia Arts Council, and the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.[3] In 2015 Tate's movie "Isolated Gestures" won the Ruth Shaw Award (Best of Saskatchewan) and was nominated for the Experimental Golden Sheaf Award in the 2015 Yorkton Film Festival.[1]
