Stan Douglas
Stan Douglas is an artist whose work explores social histories played out through a complex cinematic and televisual language. His interest in the social implementation of western ideas of progress, particularly utopian philosophies, is located in their often divisive political and economic effects. His interrogation of the structural possibilities of film and video, in concert with intricately developed narratives, has resulted in a number of groundbreaking contemporary art works. His work has been included in numerous group exhibitions including three Documentas (1992, 1997, 2002) and three Venice Biennales (1990, 2001, 2005). Major solo exhibitions have been hosted by the Museo Renia Sofia, Madrid; the Vancouver Art Gallery; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Württembergischer Kunstverein, and the Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart. He is a faculty member of Art Center College of Design and lives in Vancouver.
