Zachary Handler has always collected the discarded or left-behind: his favorite item being the receipt he saved from when his father took him to Hooters restaurant for his sixteenth birthday just to see how he reacted to the waitresses. Zachary’s visual art is his chance to construct the worlds he saw when he was younger and still wishes to inhabit now. Zachary loans my fluorescent beige-colored glasses to his viewers and through this gesture of friendship, he creates dialogues about romanticizing bric-a-brac, shopping mall celebrities, and how maybe, just maybe, it’s Maybelline©.
Magical realism is the muse that guides Zachary’s hand to balance object upon object. He combines photography with an arts & crafts aesthetic to imbue these souvenirs with all sort of pomp and circumstance; tapping them on their funny bones just to see what happens.
From first love to first heartbreak and back again, these mementos mingle with 1980s ephemera, and take shape inside dioramas I build from thrift store magic. Zachary is a big flirt with even bigger ideas and these are my elements. He documents these things because they carry a certain something that runs throughout my life—something he wants to share with others.
Zachary received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 2003 and a Masters in Arts Administration from Columbia University Teachers College in 2005.
In addition to his work as a visual artist, Zachary has constructed a career where the fields of healthcare and art education intersect to provide community and access programs to individuals who are D/deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Deaf-Blind. Zachary has also taught arts education classes, across the country and overseas, to D/deaf and Hard of Hearing youth in foster care.
Currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland with his grandmacore home decor to the max, his neon pink heart on his sleeve, and his two cats – The Readymades of Marcel Duchamp (Readymade for short) and his little brother Gagosian Gallery 555 West 24th Street New York, NY 10011 (Gallery for short) – Zachary is nothing if not extra ;)

ROBERT WOOFTER (BAMBI WARHOL) is a control freak, sporadic drag queen, and founder of haus of bambi (hausofbambi.com), a dance and film company in DC. His work has been commissioned for Vogue.com and the Kennedy Center and has been presented in New York City at the wild project, Movement Research at Judson Church, Dixon Place, and Triskelion Arts. Robert is interested in the juxtapositions of the gaudy and subdued, the crude and refined, and the classical and contemporary as he lives by the motto “extravagance is a virtue.”

Robert holds an MFA from the University of Michigan and trained at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Ballet Austin, The Rock School, The Boston Conservatory, Hubbard Street Dance, and The School at Jacob's Pillow. Robert performed professionally in New York with Ishmael Houston-Jones, Christopher Williams, Austin McCormick’s Company XIV (as an originating member in the New York Times critic’s pick Baroque Burlesque), and Gillian Walsh (as performer/collaborator in the Bessie Award nominated Grinding and Equations).

Robert teaches at American University in Washington, DC.
