Stan Douglas is one of Canada's leading filmmakers and installation artists. His work, which has been widely exhibited throughout the world and at three Venice Biennales, touches on themes of modernism, politics, race, music, cinema, and theatre. This book features images and stills from Douglas' most recent works: "Artists' Cabin", "Olde Curio Shop", "Kardynal Shoes", "Tosi Foods", "Crowds and Riots", "Midcentury Studio", and "Disco Angola". It also includes images from two much-anticipated works: a new video piece and "Helen Lawrence", a cinematic stage production. A series of essays discussing Douglas' influences and themes as well as texts by the artist himself, round out this impressive book. AUTHOR: Leon Krempel is curator at the Haus der Kunst in Munich. 130 illustrations
