PHILADELPHIA, PA–Tiger Strikes Asteroid Philadelphia is pleased to present a multi-generational show of video and paintings curated by Loren Britton and Zachary Keeting. Please join us for our February exhibition Trembling Halves featuring the work of Brenda Goodman and Kate Gilmore.

Trembling Halves is a two-person exhibition pairing Goodman’s paintings with Gilmore’s videos. Gilmore is a performance/video artist of startling physicality; Goodman’s paintings are visceral and immersive. Both investigate the female form – its cultural and personal realities – with power and sensitivity, empathy and force.
