EXHIBITION: Willie Doherty
6pm -10pm
REMAINS (2013) is a video installation filmed in a number of locations in Derry, Northern Ireland, used since the early 1970’s to carry out kneecappings, a form of punishment shooting used to control drug use and other forms of so-called ‘anti-social behaviour’. REMAINS builds on Doherty’s interest in the relationship between landscape and memory and in working in locations that are contaminated with untold stories; some forgotten, some half remembered or unacknowledged. On loan from the collection of the Irish Museum of Modern Art.

EXHIBITION: Twin Town – Rudolstadt
6pm -10pm
