Recently he was awarded a public art grant from the Visible Republic program of New England Foundation for the Arts, and a commission from the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority) to design a permanent photo installation for the new Silver Line depot at South Station, which opened in December, 2004.
Duehr is codirector of the Invisible Cities Group, which creates "large-scale urban detours" combining performance, poetry, and installations of visual art. He reviews photography for Art New England, and has written about the arts for journals including Art on Paper, Communication Arts, Frieze, and Public Culture.

Robert Goss is an artist who has been working with found / altered images and text for over 30 years. He received his BFA from Penn State University and his MFA from the University of Wisconsin. He made minor "stopovers" to Pratt Institute, NYC and Slade School of Art, London. His work has been widely exhibited locally and nationally. Besides local galleries, museums and alternate spaces, the work has been shown in NYC, San Francisco, Buffalo and Woodstock, NY.
His work uses various materials and media--photography, text, printing and installation ( inside & outside.) He is a codirector of the Invisible Cities Group, who create large outdoor installations and performances. Over the past 9 years his work has been using magnetic images and texts on metal surfaces. This has allowed the audience / viewer to move the parts and {re}create their own stories. "Look AND Touch""

With my photography, I appropriate familiar images and take them out of context in order to elicit multiple new meanings. The primary reading may be harmonious but then a subversive sub-text signaling a feeling of quiet
anxiousness begins to creep in. Something is not quite right, out of balance, or discordant. The high gloss of the transparent and colored resin offers a visual seduction yet the surface imperfections add to the distorted reading. I feel a sense of unease tinged with irony can be provocative.
For the last fifteen years, my photographic work has been exhibited throughout the country and is represented in the collections of the Boston Public Library, Fidelity Investments, and Compaq Computers and was recently shown in the magazine, The Photo Review. In 2003 I was the recipient of the 2nd Annual Barbara Singer Artist Award.
