Matt’s Gallery, London
23 January – 16 March 2008




This will be Willie Doherty’s fifth exhibition at Matt’s Gallery. The gallery has collaborated with the artist since 1990 and was the first venue to show his video work, commissioning the installation The Only Good One is a Dead One in 1993. This led to Doherty’s first Turner Prize nomination in 1994.

For Replays, Matt's Gallery will present a survey of Doherty’s video work made over the last thirteen years. These works are set against the backdrop of a changing Northern Ireland and engage the viewer in the undercurrent of apprehension and uncertainty of living in a divided society.

The gallery will be divided into two exhibition spaces, with Ghost Story (2007) showing throughout the exhibition in one space and a rotation of eight single channel videos in the other.

The full programme of works to be shown is as follows: Ghost Story (throughout exhibition), Empty (23 – 27 Jan), Closure (30 Jan – 3 Feb), Passage (6 – 10 Feb), Non-specific Threat (13 – 17 Feb), Sometimes I Imagine It’s My Turn (20 – 24 Feb), The Wrong Place (27 Feb – 2 Mar), No Smoke Without Fire (5 – 9 Mar), At the End of the Day (12 – 16 Mar).
