Author Description

This exhibition includes Stan Douglas' video installation 'Vidéo', a reimagining of both Orson Welless film 'The Trial' and Becketts film 'Film'; photographs from Midcentury Studio, a recent series of photographs taken by Douglas posing as a fictional North American post-war press photographer; 'Corrupt Files', a sequence of large, abstract images; and 'Hogans Alley' a companion piece to 'The Second Hotel Vancouver'. Together, these works provide both a rich introduction to and a reminder of practice of Stan Douglas whose investigations into mistaken identity and unstable memory, reconstruction, reinvention and the long shadows the past cast into the present, make him one of the most interesting and important artists of our time.
