During his career Douglas Gordon has received major
international prizes including the Turner Prize in 1996, a prize at
the Venice Biennale in 1997, and the Hugo Boss Prize in 1998. He is
considered one of the greatest contemporary video artists, and his
works are part of the permanent collections of the Tate Modern in
London and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Gordon has always
been interested in the dual expressive register of verbal
communication and images in movement. He became successful through
video installations of unusual dimensions that included his texts
printed on the walls of the exhibition. This British artist has
also worked in the mediums of photography, objects, and film.
Gordon is well known for his videos which make use of sequences
from famous Hollywood movies, such as a recent installation of a
nonstop sequence of Alfred Hitchcock films. Gordon studied at the
Glasgow School of Art and at the Slade School of Fine Arts in
London.
