doarte
I live in New York City and am a practicing artist and educator.
Â
To begin … I have an M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. My academic and professional career include: teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, serving as Director of the renowned 92 ST. Y’s Photography Department in New York City and Executive Director of the Institute for Art and Photographic Resources in Westchester New York and also an Adjunct Professor at New York University.
Other career highlights: I was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and Polaroid chose some my images for its 50th anniversary celebration … POLAROID 50, a collection of 50 leading artists including famous artists as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Cindy Sherman, etc.
My work has appeared internationally in galleries and museums, including the Toyko Metropolitan Museum of Photography, 80 Washington Square Gallery, New York City, Gallerie Mabrie in Paris, France, Lombard Freid Gallery, New York City, The Photographers Gallery London, England, Visage London, England, X+Â Brussels, Belgium Contretype, Brussels, Belgium, Thomans Cohn Gallery Rio de Janerio, Brazil, Foundation Canon Image Center Amsterdam, Art Institute Chicago, Illinios, Caltherine Edelman Gallery Chicago, Illinois, Kara Geneve, Zurich, Switzerland. Baronian -Lambert, Ghent Belgium.

A parallel “passion†for computer art began 15 years ago with 3D image making and the now ancient Photoshop 5 which culminated in QUESTIONS FOR A FETUS … a three-month installation of some 60 digital images sponsored by the Mother Earth Committee of New York City.
And now?  Now there’s doarte’s merry MADHOUSE with its Museum of Unnatural History for mementos past and present, the ODDATORIA Galleries for beasts and beauties, devil dolls and scenes devoted to serenity, a MIDWAY mad for models (fashionable and futuristic, glamorous and ghastly). And of course there is a circus serving divine divas to acrobatic rats … dozens of digital images dedicated to a relief from reality.
But the grandest dream of all … joining with other digital artist to make the computer a respected and important contributor to the world of art … just as the camera did for the world of photography.

A splendid image with great use of these curtains. I'm glad to hear that you are able to join us again. It is so frustrating when you can't get online isn't it.

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that mother@#?!&! upside the head. ...I hope the joke cracked you up... I have fallen way behind on comments, don't have time to read/write, but I wanted to see your art, so please enjoy the jokes til I can find that prescious time - thank you... Did you put someone in their place today? I did... it was my Boss - it felt sooooo good and I didn't get fired - imagine that - lol

Well, having the Madhouse Psychics handy to tell you everything would be alright is certainly comforting, especially when you have a dual pc nervous collapse! I certainly hope that the Madhouse IT department came through for you and you didn't have to resort to more mundane computer services! beautiful creation!

Greetings, my Dear Doctor, it is with celebratory enthuse that I gaze fondly at your latest journeyment into the strange, the bizarre, the (dare I say)spookiness that is the gifts of precognition given to only a few deserving souls. My intended, Lady Constance (who sends her love... which asks me personally, to what designs do you have on my beloved?) and I have spent many hours, researching and revealing, to the public and members of Terran Trust and Investigations, the mysteries of the aetheric arts. I commend you thusly on adding to the ever expansive Odditoria, such a stunning example of the mystic arts, such that we may... gaze into her eyes, as she searches our souls. Huzzah, doctor...Huzzah! Commander, Sir Asimov Vinge Zelazney, Terran Trust and Investigations
