Double Vision
Double Vision presents two of the most talked about video artists on the contemporary scene: Stan Douglas and Douglas Gordon. Canadian artist Stan Douglas`s new double-screen video work, Win, Place, or Show, takes as its point of departure the fundamental transformation of civic space in North America during the postwar era of urban renewal. Douglas` inquiry intersects with Scottish artist Douglas Gordon`s double-screen video installation left is right and right is wrong and left is wrong and right is right, inspired by Whirlpool, a little-known 1949 film by Otto Preminger. Psychic disorder is a subject of central importance in Gordon`s art. This book explores the tangential points of interest within these two installation projects, shown together in the exhibition Double Vision at Dia Center for the Arts.
