Douglas Kelley is a New York City artist, writer, commentator, and consummate talking TV head, philosopher and a connoisseur of esoteric history as regards American political or electoral events. A prolific documentarian he was also an Elsewhere artist-in-residence in the fall of 2008 where he co-hosted with George Sheer the 2008 election between Barack Obama and that other guy, the loser. He also is a well-known critic, arch art essayist, a freelance curator and a promoter of artists with an interest in politics. Personally he predicts a tighter closer race than that between George W. Bush and Albert Gore in the year 2000 and expects the election to end up in the courts."
