You forget for a moment about the world around you and become immersed in the present moment. More importantly, as an artist who incorporates a social practice component within my studio practice, it’s important for me to recreate ideas of memory that have personally created a sense of community and diaspora that exists independently of our smart phones, and create conversation,” Rolón said in a press release. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1508987612193-N79CY7R8ETIGR7F4JRW6/Screen+Shot+2017-10-25+at+11.10.03+PM.png Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1515894610912-4DVKRYTYKVYUM561N02T/KATE+GOWMAN+1.jpg Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505945762484-S5Z7E70QD2FBL11LM58F/IMG_0555.JPG Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1514656281654-1IDKSFACSYD7ZXB18LE2/Screen+Shot+2017-12-30+at+12.51.01+PM.png Commission - Berlinale Film Festival Berlinale Film Festival, Berlin Germany ALL RIGHTS RESERVED https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1519099858649-X1VZVG66UUPPIPAROJ0G/VVNIGHT.jpg Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1581985984297-EKXKACD9OL07LW1AAY0F/GOWMAN-DSC-9370.JPG Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1501800134439-59XN968U8BHKDX9YCAY1/DSC_3587.jpg Commission - Montanema Handmade Village, Greece https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1421359545715-TGYRNJFWGM2USBR0G7XN/motorcitykatelargeem.jpg Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1421362037492-A7RCOD0OKB9BUYRJI7FT/motorcitykateuzh+13.jpg Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1421682317100-LP68NWLJ5HH3CINAR9W3/motorcitykate+48.jpg Commission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1422544107053-9OB366LKWBODH1HW3U57/image-asset.jpeg Commission - The Robot Detroit Boxing Coach Monte has many skills and isn't shy to show them. When I asked him to breakdance, he said "I can't, I need a beat". Well, thats easy, Rakeem is the king at pen tapping - so we pulled out a chair and included Brenden for the backbeats. Towards the end, Rakeems lil brother cries out for Rakeem to watch him spar, but when he discovers whats happening, he throws his gloves down to join in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1421359758334-0I16SSO3SC6QVJQCAXB9/motorcitykatedenzellarge+%281%29.jpg Commission https://kategowman.com/project daily 0.75 2019-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1515714702800-ZT4VSFXMF5XNIYFW1MST/BAJA500GERMANY+27.jpg Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1516558557195-WXYLRDJVMSQNYODW3NPQ/Screen+Shot+2018-01-20+at+3.20.00+PM.png Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1519100115455-FN1ZWYHB0SH9ACHXVW3A/DSC_5720.jpg Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1519100840958-Q8FXDF0ZARFFHTZ45IPN/01GOWMAN.jpg Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1421681986446-Y9X2MIDCGX3KC7SRQVNZ/NORTH+SOUTH.jpg Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1422441433587-NXJY87BOD0UBMJ7VLD7O/DSC_2184+-+Version+6.jpg Project https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1450310558518-F2CZ99YHCFT65C4DQK59/Screen+Shot+2015-12-16+at+6.25.18+PM.png Project - LUNIK IX, SLOVAKIA Lunik IX houses the largest community of Romani people in Slovakia. Although originally built for 2,500 inhabitants, it is estimated that the population is now three times larger. Living standards are low, with services such as gas, water, and electricity cut off, as the majority of inhabitants are not paying rent or utilities fees. Health standards are low and diseases are common. Unemployment in the borough reaches almost 100 percent. The Romani village close to the borough was demolished in 1979 and the Romani people were moved into Luník IX; in addition, there was a landfill nearby. As early as in the 1980s the Romani comprised half of the population, which was around 2,000. Over time, the non-Romani population gradually moved away, with the Romani taking flats after their departure, and the borough turned into a Romani ghetto. In 1995, the city council of Košice created a plan for the living conditions of dodgers, the maladjusted, and people from illegally occupied flats around Košice. They were to be moved into Luník IX, with “non-problematic” families being gradually moved out of it, if they would request. The realization of this plan is on-going. I traveled to Kosice in 2015 curious if community of Romani people in Slovakia have integrated or have been further segregated. These documentations show how the city of Košice along with developers have managed to wall off the "unwanted" Romani people.. *Numbers on the map correspond to photos. *Work in progress. https://kategowman.com/about daily 0.75 2020-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1421771653897-GO3WH39FE9S8GJOBJDHB/motorcitykateworkin.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1539021101726-L661UNE1A45973R53NU7/Screen+Shot+2018-10-08+at+1.42.43+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1539020826748-1AVSHLWP6V90WJ725ZWO/Screen+Shot+2018-10-08+at+1.42.24+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763697366-SGDPC78DBWP988PM6HOS/%3Cuntitled%3E+363.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763675915-ABQEZQQFVF0OP5R66CDO/Screen+Shot+2014-04-10+at+10.37.33+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763699527-UCAY4LX2V5GFTYUZG3K2/ALTER+BORDER+MAP+IDEA.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763701092-QFCVZOKBLOZXJPO2PDMQ/Screen+Shot+2014-04-10+at+10.37.49+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538764019696-3R1XYHQM1MXHLIY0UFUJ/Screen+Shot+2018-03-22+at+3.38.35+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763688932-AT3TDFNFW5OAY9S8UKAI/Screen+Shot+2014-04-10+at+10.23.02+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763699317-MY2GPSCUK8CTZMZ6A2H9/DSC_3593.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763700806-JZST00DCTNO5A92PH2PN/Screen+Shot+2014-04-10+at+10.38.40+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538764423305-Q3MRC8G5BPWR31MS4OP2/Screen+Shot+2018-10-05+at+2.29.17+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538763686076-G9LVNM2E979ANSRVRPXD/DSC_7170-2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1539021035862-AIQXIL47K1UY5HS4TD5P/Screen+Shot+2018-10-08+at+1.41.26+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538749469112-YGLM2Z3Z8V55DYHV78HM/Screen+Shot+2018-10-05+at+10.19.14+AM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538761415137-FIO2OJ0PD5HERFRWVYUF/Screen+Shot+2018-10-05+at+10.29.20+AM.png About - LIFE EXPERIENCE . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505945762484-S5Z7E70QD2FBL11LM58F/IMG_0555.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505945766069-U6WBLF9Y822ARS90DPYN/IMG_0556.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505945760830-PRM1PKTK2VI362OSCSME/FullSizeRender.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505946809248-HR4494J3PGZFJIWNYGI2/IMG_0563.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505946800012-TEOHXU3BXCK84G8N0L4H/FullSizeRender_2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505947085692-029YRYCI9OJP2GR4Y7PX/IMG_0558.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505947080554-NYO4OCUBI7NZFKOOFJEB/FullSizeRender.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505947072652-QT89GW6YSZBOC8BBFCJD/FullSizeRender_1.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505947071851-EYQCDECMDXRR16X5UOR0/FullSizeRender_2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1505947079570-0GESSPYPALDD9JXB0ZLM/FullSizeRender_3.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1508986948245-C2SK9CVWY6Q8YDKN0QEJ/IMG_2299.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1508986946432-D3W8WWXOSM6ZS004HMEB/IMG_2301.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1512409105075-4DJORAIHS229JOENON1X/Screen+Shot+2013-06-11+at+6.06.33+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1514658877576-TOJACBUG7IVYBU8ZLQM5/Screen+Shot+2017-12-30+at+12.51.01+PM.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538711590924-KDNRN5GIIHZFI2LNPALB/GOWMAN-540.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538766134919-HHI37KEAYGZJ9NIX3S64/GOWMAN-540.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538766528484-JW57N0E9I8TWY53LNJYY/GOWMAN-540.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54b7ba70e4b0bb2b019bc4ec/1538766709539-NBUY3UL6NIRP7AD301Z9/Screen+Shot+2018-10-05+at+3.11.08+PM.png About
