Works from Nicole Gruter (11/23/07)

Nicole Gruter is a Madison-based performance artist, musician and bartender, and Master of Fine Arts candidate from the University of Wisconsin. Nicole and her alter-ego, Wilhelmina Baker, have graced the Madison area with challenging, entertaining, slightly off-kilter works. Nicole recently commissioned Prolefeed Studios to document some of her recent work, which we are pleased to share with you.



Nicole performed "Happy Taxday 2007" on April 17, 2007, the deadline for filing federal tax income returns. Watch as Nicole hands out receipts for the amount the average Madison taxpayer has paid for the Iraq War.

"Can I Get You Anything Else?" was Nicole's entry into the 2007 University of Wisconsin's First Year M.F.A. show. A woman tethered to a table cheerfully serves pies to puzzled art gallery patrons. Perhaps there's some hidden meaning here, or perhaps, as Nicole says, it's just that, "some days it's really hard to serve pie." Read More → ^ TOP

Coming Soon: Here, Kitty, Kitty (11/15/07)

Prolefeed Studios recently completed post-production on its latest feature documentary, "Here, Kitty, Kitty". "Here, Kitty, Kitty" marks the directorial debut of Andy Beversdorf, who last made his mark as Associate Producer for "War is Sell."



In 2005, the state of Wisconsin became the laughing stock of the nation as it debated a proposal to legalize the shooting of cats. "Here, Kitty,Kitty" scratches beneath the media blitz to reveal a surprisingly nuanced tale involving ruthless cat-lovers, unapologetic cat-drowners, slandered scientists, death threats, and deposed politicians. Watch and find out who is left standing when all the hissing and clawing subsides.

Look for "Here, Kitty, Kitty" at a film festival near you over the next few months. Read More → ^ TOP
