This will be the first major solo exhibition of Douglas Gordon’s work in Scotland since he presented his now celebrated work, 24 Hour Psycho at Tramway in Glasgow in 1993. Gordon is one of a number of Glasgow-trained artists who came to prominence in the 1990s.
He has gone on to achieve huge international recognition, marked by major awards, including the Turner Prize in 1996, and by exhibitions in museums in Europe and America.
Gordon works with film, video, photographs, objects and texts, examining issues such as memory and identity, good and evil, life and death. One of his latest works is a cinematic portrait of the footballer Zidane. This work was shown at this year’s Cannes and Edinburgh Film Festivals. A gallery version of the work was recently purchased by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
This exhibition will showcase important early pieces, explore the Scottish aspect of Gordon’s art and premiere new works.
