Art and Theater Works
Beginning in the late 70's Rubinstein's theatrical works often included famed storyteller Brother Blue, with whom he partnered in numerous situations. Ed Harris and the Met Theatre produced "Buddha Baby" and "Premonitions" in Los Angeles. Rubinstein's third multi-media performance work, "Strum Road" also premiered there in 1997 to critical acclaim. "Pilgrim" a feature documentary by director Miguel Grunstein, based on Rubinstein's life and work, is currently shooting and is slated for completion in 2013.
Rubinstein has been exhibited at both The Museum of Modern Art and The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City in collaboration with famed artist Kiki Smith. His single song CD, "Ruby Star," sung in duet with Robin Holcomb, was first sold at The Museum of Modern Art in 2003. During 2007 The Center for Contemporary Art, Santa Fe, presented a 'thus far' large-scale celebration of Donald's work, including a screening of films he scored, art exhibit and a concert performance with special guests John Densmore, Hani Naser and Terry Allen . It also included Donald's directing premiere, "Tales From the Edge," a short animated film based on his drawings. Donald has shown at Linda Durham Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, Bemis Center For Contemporary Arts in Omaha, and Gallery 68 in Austin, Texas, amongst others. Two upcoming exhibitions include a one-person show at La Tienda Exhibit Space in Santa Fe, 2011 and an exhibition of his collaboration with Kiki Smith, "Seed", as well as his "Book of Black and White Dreams," at Zane Bennett Contemporary Art, Santa Fe, in January, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words art, theater and/or works:
“Wherever art appears, life disappears.”
—Francis Picabia (1878–1953)
“In the theater of confusion, knowing the location of the exits is what counts.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
