JADE DOSKOW
BIO

Jade Doskow (b. 1978, Pennsylvania, United States) lives and works in Red Hook, Brooklyn. She received a BA in the Philosophy of Art & Music from New York Unviersity’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study and an MFA in Photography & Related Media from the School of Visual Arts. In exploring limbo-spaces within urban sites, Doskow’s recurring themes address rewilding and sustainability, architectural repurposing, the urban built environment and public spaces, and all frequently with a focus on New York City-specific environs. Her best-known long-term projects include Freshkills, Lost Utopias, and Red Hook. Doskow’s work is informed by a multitude of sources including literature, music, and local history, often using the photographic medium to question the accuracy of historical record and contemporary realities.

Doskow’s work has been exhibited globally, including recently the Staten Island Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Museum London, Asheville Museum of Art, Tracey Morgan Gallery, All Street Gallery, Cornell University, and many others. She is the subject of the 2021 documentary Jade Doskow: Photographer of Lost Utopias. Her work has been reviewed and featured in publications including the New York Times, Hyperallergic, the Virginia Quarterly Review, Aperture, Photograph, Architect, Wired, and Newsweek Japan. Doskow is a contributing environmental photojournalist for the New York Times, a member of the ABC No Rio photography collective, and faculty at the School of Visual Arts, CUNY College of Staten Island, and the International Center of Photography. Doskow is the Photographer-in-Residence of Freshkills Park, New York City.
