Douglas Gordon
For Douglas Gordon, “art is really an excuse to have a dialogue.” The world of mirror opposites – darkness and light, good and evil – is key to exploring memory and perception in Gordon’s photographs, films and installations. In his film work, Gordon alters, elongates, and remixes film classics such as Psycho, Vertigo, and Taxi Driver.
Disparities and Deformations
Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque brought together a diverse group of contemporary artworks that respond and give new substance to the sense of emotional and logical uncertainty inherent in the grotesque, described by the 19th-century writer Jean Paul as a state of “soul dizziness.” The exhibition tracked the incongruous combination of disparate forms and ideas in the work of internationally renowned artists of different generations, coming from various cultural contexts, and working with different processes and ideas.
