Douglas Gordon was born in 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland.  After receiving a B.A. at the Glasgow School of Art, Gordon undertook a graduate program at the Slade School of Art in London.  Through his work in video, photography, and sculpture, Gordon addresses and explores universal dualities: life and death, good and evil.  Since his first solo show in 1986, he has exhibited extensively throughout the world, including a 2001 retrospective organized by the Geffen Contemporary (Los Angeles).

Gordon was the 1996 recipient of Britain’s Turner Prize, in 1997 was awarded Premio 2000 at the Venice Biennial, and in 1998 he was presented with the Hugo Boss Prize at the Guggenheim Museum in SoHo.  He was also included in the SkulpturProjekte in Münster in 1997.  His work is included in major public collections such as the Tate Collection (London), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the National Museum of Modern Art Collections at Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Guggenheim Collection (New York), and the Hirschorn Museum and Sculpture Garden at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.).

More recently, Gordon worked in collaboration with Philippe Parreno on the film Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, released in 2006.  Beginning with his collaboration with Chicks on Speed on the occasion of his exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (New York) in 2006, he has participated in the international ART RULES tour.  Gordon is currently based in New York.
