ABOUT THE ARTIST
Stan Douglas is a visual artist who lives and works in Vancouver. His films, videos, and photographs, which explore social rupture and the effects of technical media on human consciousness and history, have been seen in exhibitions internationally, including three Documentas (1992, 1997, 2002) and four Venice Biennales (1990, 2001, 2005, 2019). A survey of his work, Stan Douglas: Mise en scène, toured Europe from 2013 until the end of 2015. From 2014 until 2017, his theatre-cinema hybrid, Helen Lawrence, was performed in Vancouver, Toronto, Munich, Antwerp, Edinburgh, Brooklyn and Los Angeles, and in 2022 he represented Canada at the 59th Venice Biennale. He received the International Centre for Photography’s Infinity Prize in 2012, the Hasselblad Award in 2016, and the Audain Prize in 2019; he was named a Chevalier in France’s Order of Arts and Letters in 2020 and, in 2024, an Officer of the Order of Canada. Between 2004 and 2006, he was a professor at Universität der Künste Berlin, and from 2009 until 2024, he was a core faculty member in the Graduate Art Department at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
This program is funded with generous support from Julia and Larry Antonatos and Michelle and Glenn Holland.
