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.

It's funny what those Hospital drugs can do to you, although this isn't too far left of field from your usual Madhouse postings, I just think that Magic Carpet needs a tune up ! LOL ~Cheers~

My dear Doctor.. with heartfelt worry do my intended, The Lady Constance, and I send forth this missive, concerning your unfortunate encounter with Madame Gravity. I know from research that Newton was wrong on many levels about many things (esp. that opposite force/opposite reaction poppyfluff)... Madame Gravity controls the ways and means of keeping things here on Terra... keeping the worthy down and letting the unworthy rise to giddying heights... her only opponent oin this struggle being Arch Duke Levity.. who keeps the spirits up and the days clearer.... as evident by the many postings herein, you and Levity seem to have a great understanding and friendship.... huzzah I say... Huzzah! and this post does amply illustrate your cause celebe! just be judicious in the consumption of the morphine... Lady Constance sends her love! your servant, Commander, Sir, Asimov Vinge Zelazney, Terran Trust and Investigations
