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.

If I saw that looking back at me through the steam I'd have a heart attack. Your imaginative creativity is boundless. The trees on the hats is a quirky, cool touch. Love it!

my Dear Doctor... greetings! and such a greet we have with this image, truly a haven for the tired and weary soul, in need of steam and more steam, to iron out the creases of the soul. My intended, Lady Constance, has on oft times assured me that such an excursion into the steamier aspects of the Odditoria would be of great diffintative examlbriation to my weathered bod... seeing as we will be in the neighbourhood in the nonce, I would endevour to beseat myself within the mists... as would fit a gentleman such as myself... Lady Constance sends her love and best wishes... your friend and ally Commander, Sir Asimov Vinge Zelazney, Terran Trust and Investigations

This guy dancing would be great for new years.... this scence looks like he's sitting in a steam room with clothes on and someone took a photo to show how nuts he is - lol... but I think taking a camera into a steam room is even nuttier - lol .... Your last comment has me wondering if You're a Broncos fan or if you're saying - that's the team that beat the Jets - lol... Are you a Jets fan? a Giants Fan? a newly acquired Broncos Fan? ya know, the Broncos are going to the Superbowl, so jump on the band wagon before it gets over crowded = lol ... don't know if you're into superbowl logos, but last years and this years look ALMOST identical... GB won last year, so I'm hoping the Broncos win this years Superbowl so when green bay sees this years logo, they down't think about last years win, they think oh that was the 2nd time we lost to Denver - lol
