Douglas Gordon. The Morning After

For the first time, The Giacometti Institute (Paris) gives carte blanche to a contemporary artist invited to be associated with its activities over the course of one year. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1966, Douglas Gordon is a major figure on the contemporary art scene. His practice, which includes video and film, drawing, sculpture and installation, echoes with the questioning of Alberto Giacometti (1901 – 1966) on the human condition, articulated by concepts such as the distortion of time, opposite forces and dualities: life and death, good and evil.

For the exhibition, Gordon Douglas created a series of original pieces in connection with little-known or rarely exhibited sculptures and drawings by Giacometti. These works mark a new phase in Gordon's practice, and shed a different light on Giacometti's oeuvre.

This unprecedented collaboration will be punctuated by impromptu interventions, dissemination, exchanges and meetings at the Institute or online on the Foundation's website.
