THE SOHO GALLERY FOR DIGITAL ART is the "heartchild" of John Ordover, son of the late lawyer Jerry Ordover, a leading figure in the Modern Art community. His father's clients over the years included artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Richard Serra, Nam Jun Paik and preeminent gallery owner Leo Castelli. "Growing up around the brilliant, spontaneous and off-beat crowd my father introduced me to," Ordover said, "that creative energy drove my work as a writer and editor; opening a gallery is simply coming full circle."
Mr. Ordover is also open to the idea of installations created specifically for the gallery and to other creative uses of the space. "We don't accept any limitations," Mr. Ordover said. "Beyond our primary function as a gallery, we intend to use our facilities as a screening room for short films, a stage for experimental theater and other such cultural events -- we want to make ourselves into a supportive center for the entire SoHo cultural community."
