Doug Sheer is an artist and a founder of ATOA.
He has organized, led, and/or participated in numerous ATOA panels which you can find by entering Doug Sheer
in our search engine.
In addition, he has appeared in countless more panels where our camera captures him posing questions from the audience.
One of our founders in 1975, Doug earned his title of ATOA Chairman by tirelessly leading the setting out of the folding chairs
for panel discussions year after year. Without his selfless efforts the ATOA audience would literally
have had no where to sit over the decades.
His latest success has been to forge an alliance between ATOA and SVA so that future panels
may be held in the SVA auditorium, the best seating arrangement yet for the large crowds that
popular ATOA panels draw.
Doug Sheer is a second generation artist. His mother was the well known pinhole photography pioneer, Marcia C. Sheer. His father, Ben Sheer, was a watercolorist. Both were WPA artists and Hans Hofmann students in NYC and Provincetown. Doug grew up in a home that appreciated art, and he went on to graduate from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). An early venture of his was the Egg Shop, a video center at a time when video meant a pioneering medium for artists. It was in this video milieu that Sheer became a master at a new sort of video art. Over the years Sheer has continued to devote considerable time to ATOA, and its mission of providing a forum for critical discussions in the visual arts. Sheer has been the producer for video documentation of that panels series, and this video documentation may prove his most enduring legacy as a video artist. The images displayed are videographs, what Sheer calls "painterly images squeezed from the tube." |
