Northern Ireland’s Willie Doherty is a two-time nominee for the Tate’s
Turner Prize, and the DMA press release refers to him as "one of the
most important artists to emerge from Northern Ireland in the past
twenty-five years." That means he’s no slacker. This exhbition features
two bodies of work, Ghost Story,
a 15-minute color and sound film a "meditation on memory, landscape,
conflict, and trauma," according to the press release, and eleven
photographs of the Irish and Northern Irish landscape in the 1990s.
This is the first time they’ve been shown together. Sounds like pretty
heavy stuff to us, and we’re always down for heavy. May 24–Aug 2. Tues
& Wed, 11am–5pm;
Thurs, 11am–9pm; Fri, Sat & Sun, 11am–5pm. The Dallas Museum of
Art, 1717 N. Harwood. 214-922-1200. www.dallasmuseumofart.org.
