STAN DOUGLAS @ CARPENTER CENTER
Putting it lightly, acclaimed Canadian video artist Stan Douglas is not what you would call modernism’s biggest fan. Putting it a hell of lot less lightly, Douglas creates intricate, conceptual installations that expose the vast failure of the 20th century as a theoretical concept, depicting it as charnel house utopia, an abattoir of ideals, a stinking, hollow thing. We’re pretty sure modernism stole his girlfriend. Hear it from Douglas himself over at Harvard’s Carpenter Center, but cross your fingers that modernism doesn’t show up again. Last time, it brought Sheila, and things got real ugly, real fast.
