Willie Doherty In Conversation
The Details!
Darklight 2009 Featured Artist Willie Doherty discusses his new film Three Potential Endings (pictured) and his remarkable career to date; the interview will be bookended by screenings of two other notable Doherty works, created – as with Three Potential Endings – in collaboration with renowned cinematographer Seamus McGarvey: Ghost Story (2007) and Buried (2009).
About Willie Doherty:
Born in Derry in 1959, Willie Doherty’s work has, since he began exhibiting in the early 1980’s, consistently addressed problems of representation, territoriality and surveillance, and the politics and rhetoric of identity, especially in his native Northern Ireland. Much of his early photographic work incorporated text and since the mid-90’s he has increasingly worked in film and video installation. Doherty has had solo exhibitions at venues across the globe, represented Ireland at the 1993 Venice Biennale and won the 1995 Irish Museum of Modern Art/Glen Dimplex Artists Award. He was also nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994 and 2003. Darklight is delighted to present the Irish premiere of Willie Doherty’s new work Three Potential Endings as a site-specific screening in Smithfield Plaza.
