Douglad Gordon: blood, sweat and tears @DOX (June 12 – September 27, 2009)
–
The posters advertising this show were wallpapering the entire city. As it is always quite difficult for me to avoid any promises of more Douglas Gordon, on I went.
DOX is a new gigantic and sleek exhibition space for contemporary art here in Prague – it opened last October – and felt like the perfect habitat for Gordon’s work. The hung screens were so thin and discreet that it was like bathing in pure light and darkness. I loved watching 24 Hour Psycho Back and Forth and to and Fro, 2008, which was presented in Europe for the first time, while the thunderous soundtrack from Feature Film, 1999, was playing from upstairs. So intense and hypnotic.
