Works Exhibited
About
Ideas come from trawling though my past; the studio is an active theater of ideas.
—Douglas Gordon
Gagosian is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by Douglas Gordon at the gallery’s Grosvenor Hill location. All I need is a little bit of everything features numerous text works—translated for the first time into multiple languages—plus the encyclopedic installation Pretty much every film and video work from about 1992 until now... (1999–) and a new work, 2023EastWestGirlsBoys (2023), which reflects on the artist’s memories of London’s Soho neighborhood.
In his films, installations, photographs, performances, and texts, Gordon ponders moral and ethical questions and investigates mental and physical states. Drawing on the histories of literature, cinema, and pop culture, he examines individual and collective memory by making reference to his own past and previous output.
Last exhibited in London at the Hayward Gallery in 2002, Pretty much every film and video work from about 1992 until now... is displayed on more than a hundred screens, which range from traditional TVs to monitors, to iPads. Already included in significant international collections, the installation functions as a condensed retrospective that fulfills the promise of its title and expands along with the artist’s oeuvre.
