Douglas "Doug" Ischar (born 1948, Honolulu, Hawaii〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doug Ischar )〕) is an openly gay, American artist known for his work in documentary photography, installation art, sound art and video art addressing stereotypes of masculinity and male behavior. He currently lives and works in Chicago, where he teaches art at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Ischar serves on the curatorial board of Chicago's Iceberg Projects, a not-for-profit experimental exhibition space. == Biography == Trained as a classical cellist, Ischar began studying art in his thirties, eventually earning an MFA degree from CalArts in 1987. Ischar's early work, the documentary photographs collected in the series ''Marginal Waters'' (1985) and ''Honor Among'' (1987), participated in then-contemporary debates around gender and representation, with a particular emphasis on problems of masculinity in American gay male culture. His artwork from the mid-1990s emerged at a moment when the exploration of media, and cross-disciplinary practices, were critical actions further complicating the then-peculiar state of semiotics. Ischar’s editing of appropriated moving image and static objects addressed the practical and visual boundaries for definitions of masculinity, sexuality, violence and secrecy. The artist's single-channel video works of the past ten years are more allusive and poetic, addressing political and theoretical concerns obliquely via densely constructed image-sound montages whose explicit subjects range from the relationship between Maria Callas and Pier Paolo Pasolini (''Come Lontano'', 2010) to the life of Charlotte Brontë (''CB'', 2011). Many of Ischar's recent videos draw heavily on his early training in, and love of, classical music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doug Ischar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
