STAN DOUGLAS / JUDITH HOPF / MIDORI MITAMURA23 November 2006 - 21 January 2007 The Canadian artist Stan Douglas, whose works have been shown at prestigious international art institutions such as Documenta and the Venice Biennial since the mid-1980s, is known for his highly complex and technically perfect film and video works which continually extend the possibilities of the medium in order to construct non-linear narratives and astonishing modalities of time. The conceptual and formal precision of Douglas’s films is also characteristic of his photographs.In her art, Judith Hopf deals with stories and aesthetics associated with the sphere of everyday culture, using forms of expression as performance, video, sculpture, and works on paper. Her choice of medium, however, is less decisive than her passionate interest in the field where politics, art, and theory overlap, which can be considered as the frame of reference for many of her projects. Other regular features of her work are a paradoxical panopticon of self-portrayal and a belief in a brightly colored, glamorous pop poetic. Midori Mitamura’s artistic works occupy a position between photography and installation. They quote elements from the past, either her own or that of strangers, taking this as the point of departure from which to reveal modes of remembering and the reiterating memory of private biography. In a subtle and ironic way, Mitamura sounds out the tensions between individual experience and retrospectively lived history, without losing sight of the volatility and slipperiness of personal experience.
