Since the 1980s, Stan Douglas (b. Vancouver, Canada, 1960) has created films, photographs, and other multidisciplinary projects that investigate the parameters of their respective mediums. His ongoing inquiry into technology’s role in image making, and how those mediations infiltrate and shape collective memory, has resulted in works that are at once specific in their historical and cultural references and broadly accessible. In 2022, the artist represented his native Canada at the Venice Biennale, where he debuted a major video installation, ISDN, and a related body of photographs. Douglas’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at prominent institutions worldwide since the 1980s, including Pérez Art Museum, Miami, Haus der Kunst, Munich; The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Serpentine Gallery, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris. In 2016, Douglas showed his film Luanda-Kinshasa as part of The Infinite Mix, a major video art exhibition staged by The Vinyl Factory and Hayward Gallery at 180 Studios. The Vinyl Factory has collaborated with Douglas to manufacture and release the soundtracks to both Luanda-Kinshasa and ISDN on The Vinyl Factory record label.
