Private Passions
Michael Berkeley in conversation with Douglas Gordon
Sunday 27th February 2011
on BBC Radio 3 from 12pm - 1pm
FM: 90.2 MHz - 92.6 MHz


Michael Berkeley's guest this week is the Glaswegian artist Douglas Gordon, who won the Turner Prize in 1996 and represented Britain at the 1997 Venice Biennale. His work, which spans video and film, sound, photographic objects and texts, has since been exhibited in museums all over the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Tate Britain and the National Galleries of Scotland. His video and film work often plays with time elements and employs multiple monitors, displacing traditional expectations.'24 Hour Psycho' (1993) slowed down Hitchcock's masterpiece to last 24 hours, while 'Zidane: A 20th-Century Portrait' used multiple cameras to follow the international football star.

Sandy is the man to talk to

Tomorrow Sandy is to be interviewed by Dr Tom Normand, (lecturer in Scottish art at the University of St Andrews) about art in Scotland during the 1960s.
