Art Douglas Gordon: Pretty Much Every Film and Video Work from About 1992 until Now

- Douglas Gordon, Feature Film, Photo: Bert Ross, Courtesy the artist and Gagosian Gallery, New York, © 2007 Douglas Gordon
The ultimate in one-stop viewing, Scottish multimedia artist Douglas Gordon's cheekily titled installation is a veritable retrospective: the work's title serves as a perfect description for the wall of 50-plus monitors. This mini-survey includes his famous 24 Hour Psycho, a daylong version of Alfred Hitchcock's classic hit; and Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake), in which Gordon pits the saintly heroine of Henry King's classic Song of Bernadette (1943) against the possessed protagonist of William Friedkin's chilling The Exorcist (1973). Play Dead: Real Time — normally a room-sized two-screen installation, but here appearing on a small screen — depicts a circus elephant wandering around the emptied interiors of New York's Gagosian Gallery. A reckless pilfer of others' footage, Gordon isn't above appropriating his own works.
