      November 4, 1970: An interesting feature of MULTI MEDIA 70, on view at the Brooklyn Museum’s Community Gallery through November 29, are three works by Mauricio J. Dogué who[,] coincidentally, is employed as a guard by the Museum.

      Working in chalk, the 22-year old sculptor has created three unusual pieces: “Champions of Men” - composed of chalk miniatures of internationally famous world leaders, among them Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Nehru and Abraham Lincoln; “Togetherness” - a non-objective chalk sculpture, and “The Screw” - an abstract composition in metal and chalk.

      Born in Colon, Panama in 1948, young Dogué began experimenting with chalk carving while attending high school. His efforts won him a week’s suspension from school but a year later, his first exhibit was arranged by the same teacher who had ordered his suspension.

      In 1968, he came to New York and attended The Brooklyn Museum Art School as a scholarship student, studying wood carving under Tosho Odate. The following summer, Dogué taught a children’s workshop at MUSE (Brooklyn Children’s Museum) and exhibited his work there and in various libraries in Brooklyn.

      The ten artists participating in MULTI MEDIA 70, an exhibition of paintings, graphics and sculpture, are all Brooklyn residents. In addition to Mauricio Dogué, they include Ricky Bosley; Jerome Burns; Josephine Burns; Dana Collins; Anneta Duveen; Cecilia Storick Giorcelli; Guy Patterson; Frank Sharpe; and William Zehngut. The Community Gallery, under the direction of Henri Ghent, has served as a showcase for more than 1000 artists of all ages and levels of artistic achievement.

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
