Issue 30 Douglas Gordon The cover image for this issue of Artkrush is a detail of the 2004 sculpture Proposition for a Posthumous Portrait by Douglas Gordon. It is on view at the Tate Britain in London as part of Tate Triennial 2006: New British Art, now through May 14. Douglas Gordon was born in 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland, and lives and works in New York. Through his work in sculpture, photography, and video, Gordon explores the themes of life and death, good and evil, and memory and history. Some of his video works are derived from popular films and alter the time span to draw attention to memory and the act of perception. His work has been exhibited extensively since the early '90s and is featured in numerous museum collections worldwide. In addition to the Tate Triennial, Gordon's work can currently be seen in the group exhibitions Message Personnel at Galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris and Dark Places at the Santa Monica Museum of Art in Santa Monica, California, both through April 22; and Searching for Traces: Remembering and Forgetting in Works of Contemporary Art at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in Wolfsburg, Germany, through August 13. His work is also on view in the solo shows The Rules of the Game at Galería Estrany - De La Mota through May 13 and What you want me to say . . . I am already dead at Fondació Joan Miró in Barcelona through June 4. Douglas Gordon: Timeline opens at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on June 11 and runs through September 4. Gordon was the recipient of the Turner Prize in 1996, the Premio 2000 Award at the 1997 Venice Biennale, where he represented Britain, and the 1998 Hugo Boss Prize. He is represented by Gagosian Gallery in New York, Lisson Gallery in London, Galerie Jan Mot in Brussels, Galerie Yvon Lambert in Paris, Dvir Gallery in Tel-Aviv, Galería Estrany - De La Mota in Barcelona, and Gandy Gallery in Bratislava, Slovakia.
