In 1993, Douglas Gordon projected a super-slo-mo video version of Hitchcock’s Psycho, and the art world has never been quite the same. The Glasgow artist personifies contemporary art’s fixation on cinema over the last decade. This first US survey includes new as well as familiar projects. Organized by Russell Ferguson and accompanied by a catalogue with an essay by the late David Sylvester (among others), this show proves that bringing film to LA is nothing like bringing coal to Newcastle.
