Chapman Recital Hall, Ent Center for the Arts
Join us for our first Fall VACS with Simulacra artist, Dornith Doherty! A Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and Fulbright Scholar, Dornith Doherty is an artist working primarily with photography, video, and scientific imaging. In projects that interweave the evidentiary and metaphoric powers of photographic images, Doherty illuminates ecological and philosophical issues that are often neglected when considering human entanglements in the environment.
Doherty received her MFA in Photography from Yale University and serves as Distinguished Research Professor at the University of North Texas. She is represented by Moody Gallery, Houston. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections and has been exhibited widely in the US and abroad, including solo exhibitions at the National Academy of Sciences and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, among others. Curated group exhibitions have been presented at the Denver Museum of Art, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in England, the Broad Museum in Michigan, and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Her honors include grants from the Fulbright Foundation, the Japan Foundation, and the United States Department of the Interior, as well as artist residencies at the Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto/Ontario Science Centre, the Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies, and Joshua Tree National Park. She was named 2016 Texas State Artist of the Year and received an Honored Educator Award and 2025 Insight Award from the Society for Photographic Education. She was awarded Eminent Professor at UNT in 2026.
