Willie Doherty : Disturbance

21 Apr-24 Jun 2012

Overview

Twice Turner Prize nominated artist Willie Doherty is renowned for his video installations and photographs. Disturbance surveys his works from the mid 1980s to today, including his most recent video, Ancient Ground, shot last year on the peat bogs of County Donegal. Doherty’s work is rooted in the politics and topography of his native Derry, but transcends its context to explore universal themes including memory, subjectivity and social concerns – and their manifestation in the natural and constructed landscape. Presented in association with Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.
