These images are from a project I have been doing examining the remnants of World's Fair sites in Europe and the US. Sometimes the old exhibition halls are still standing, sometimes there is just the empty space where the fair took place. Ultimately, this project examines how a temporary spectacle---a World's Fair---permanently alters the infrastructure of a city.
Jade Doskow was born in Pennsylvania in 1978, and has spent her life making art and playing classical piano. She has completed her Masters in Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2008, and this year received the School of Visual Art?s prestigious Alumni Scholarship Award for her work on world?s fair sites.
Doskow?s photographs have been exhibited frequently nationwide, including a solo show at the David Allen Gallery in Brooklyn, New York. Her pieces have been collected by a number of private patrons. In addition to making her own work, she has been curating group shows at the Broadway Gallery in Soho.
Future plans include continuing on the World?s Fair project (photographing sites in Asia and South America), and a book publication of the project in 2-3 years.
Doskow lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn with her fiance, the painter Lambert Fernando.
