Douglas Gordon: The Only Way Out is the Only Way In

Overview

The NGV may be revelling in the old masters this month but, just down the road, ACCA is still flying that contemporary flag high. Douglas Gordon has been on the scene for decades now, but his work is still as innovative as ever. Perched at the intersection of pop culture and high art, Gordon is a Young British Artist with a love for film and photographic installation, and a whole load of art world swag to boot.

Gordon's most famous for his 1993 work 24 Hour Psycho — an edited version of Alfred Hitchcock's classic slowed to a pace of 2 frames per second. He's also collaborated with Rufus Wainwright, won the coveted Turner Prize, and represented Scotland at the Venice Biennale. In this rare outing to Australia we see a selection of works from the artist's now well-established career. Some original, and some admittedly owing to Martin Scorsese.

A walk through the sparse rooms at ACCA this month will be like stepping through the looking glass — expect a lot of manipulated images and one creepily young Robert De Niro.
