The young artist, Mark Dorf, graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Magna Cum Laude, in 2011 with a B.F.A. in Photography and Sculpture. His most recent works examine humanity’s relationship with our fabricated digital realities and the physical landscape in which we reside through the use of both photography and sculpture. With the understanding that all art is based upon comparison and relationships, he re-contextualizes moment and symbol to create new meaning through the surrounding environment. Mark seeks to understand humanity as an observer in his surroundings, using photography as a tool to explore the curious habitation of the world around us.
Mark’s work has been shown in numerous group exhibitions nationally and internationally, this year in two solo exhibitions. The first of these shows, Environmental Occupations, was in conjunction with Kiki Smith and Valerie Hammond’s collaborative exhibition Streaming Spirits in Lacoste, France, and most recently Mark Dorf: Environmental Occupations at Phoenix Gallery in the Chelsea gallery district of New York City.
Mark currently resides in Brooklyn, New York where he creates his images and continues to study contemporary art.
