{"product_id":"willie-doherty-requisite-distance","title":"Willie Doherty: Requisite Distance","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe art of Willie Doherty (b. 1959), one of Northern Ireland’s most important artists, joins history, memory, and language into an enveloping experience. This catalogue features two bodies of Doherty’s work: \u003ci\u003eGhost Story,\u003c\/i\u003e a tensely beautiful 15-minute media work based on landscape and memory, and a selection of photographs of the borderlands between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArising from the region’s Troubles, Doherty’s art is nonetheless universal in effect and can be seen independent of any specific context. Charles Wylie’s essay deals with how\u003ci\u003e Ghost Story\u003c\/i\u003e evokes a mind at work trying to recall unsettling things, and the impact of memory on the present. Through vivid imagery, Doherty creates a cinematic tale of quiet suspense whose evocative text (written by Doherty and published here in its entirety) is narrated by the actor Stephen Rea. Critically acclaimed at the 2007 Venice Biennale, \u003ci\u003eGhost Story\u003c\/i\u003e is paired with eleven similar yet distinct large-scale color photographs from the 1990s that in still form powerfully depict the famed Irish landscape as a site of unease amidst lyrical beauty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistributed for the Dallas Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDallas Museum of Art (5\/23\/09 – 8\/16\/09)\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSnite Museum of Art, University of Notre Dame, Indiana (fall 2010)\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220121571672,"sku":"9780300152555","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780300152555.jpg?v=1768451407","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/willie-doherty-requisite-distance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
