Tate is a Canadian artist and filmmaker who has exhibited in Canada since the early 1980s,[5] where according to Tate, he engaged in film and video production, performance and exhibitions in
Toronto,
Vancouver and
Victoria.[6]: 14–15 Jennifer Oille reviewed Tate's 1982 A.R.C. satellite installation in Toronto, the Museum of Post-Habitation, in Vanguard,[7] where Oille wrote that Tate converted a soon to be abandoned dwelling into a museum.[7] The exhibition ended with Tate's performance, Ending All Occupation.[8]
"Like many of Tate's past projects, The Stalker is ambitious, theatrical, playful and ironic. Kent Tate's installation work has always demonstrated a skillful handling of materials and the continual development of his distinct sardonic critique of the West's post-industrial economic, social and spiritual collapse."
In 1988, Tate exhibited The Stalker at the
Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver.[6] Merike Talve wrote in her curatorial essay for The Stalker that Tate’s choices in sculptural objects: The Outlaw a glowing polar bear, representative of an occupant of the oil industries' last frontier; Ready Kilowatt, a grinning lightning bolt figure, representative of never ending industrial expansion; and Lightning Rods, spears labelled with multi-national oil company names, representative of the threats - demonstrated Tate's continued interest in exploring archetypes and symbols and handling of materials consistent with past projects.[6]: 7, 14 Art Perry stated in his review that The Stalker show was "about power, mainly the misuse and misunderstanding of power..."..[9] Oraf Orafson wrote that Tate "used humour, ecology, multi-nationalism..." in The Stalker exhibition in his visual arts year in review.[10]
Tate exhibited Movies for a Pulsing Earth, a ten-year retrospective video/sculptural installation at the Art Gallery of Swift Current, in 2012.[11]
In 2019, Tate's film Catalyst, 2018 was selected by the Canadian Filmmakers Distribution Centre[12] and presented by Lauren Howes (CFMDC) and Wanda Vanderstoop (Vtape) in Canada at 36th Kasseler Documentary Film and Video Festival in
Kassel,
Germany.[13]: 12, 96 This was the first year Canadian distributors were included in the Kasseler Dokfest film and media distributors' showcase. Tate was among nine other Canadian filmmakers invited to participate in the Distributions in Profile / Vtape & CFMDC: Canadian Perspectives on Experimental Film and Video Art program.[14]

Fundamentally Catalyst represents a type of diary without dates, of memories reconstructed to formulate my story. A story that takes place in time and space, shaped by the earth and sky. Merging super 8 mm footage that I filmed many years ago with some of my more recent DSLR/HDV tape footage, Catalyst investigates how each medium shaped my story as well as the gaps in time when each sequence was filmed....
