 Review: Stan Douglas, Serpentine Gallery | Arts critics | Guardian Unlimited Arts
The Vancouver artist Stan Douglas meditates on just such conundrums, and the best of his work has a peculiar weight and effectiveness.
This is Douglas at his best, which is very good indeed.
Like Beckett's writing, which has long fascinated Douglas, the stories do not progress towards resolution; rather, they present a state of being within which the wordplay is reduced to painful, endless returns.

As an artist he is fascinated by the way in which these media are used for registration and reporting and by the stratification that images can have in terms of their meaning and potential interpretations.
For more than ten years Douglas has been working with photography, film and video; he manages to register and to stage images in such a way that there arises a doubt as to the alleged objectivity of the camera and the reporting.
By using the techniques and the methods of film and television for his own work, Douglas analyzes these media from the inside out, as it were, on the basis of their communicative effect.

 Eye Weekly - Stan Douglas - 04.13.06
Critics sometimes describe the work of Vancouver's Stan Douglas as complex and leave it at that; indeed, there's often no better tack when faced with word limits, time constraints and an artist's boggling commitment to allusion and permutation.
Inconsolable Memories, Douglas' new film installation (or, to use the artspeak that's been devised for his other, comparable forays, "recombinant narrative projection"), is, um, complex -- damn complex.
Douglas' film (printed intermittently on two reels of unequal length, which are then projected concurrently in an abstruse, changeable weave of scenes) transfers Alea's conceit to the Mariel boat expulsions of the early '80s, yet the general spirit remains intact: to put it much too simply, it's all just a little bit of history repeating.

 Visual Arts | Stan Douglas: Inconsolable Memories | Straight.com Vancouver
A culture hangs in the balance, and it is this fragile, waning condition that Douglas mines in Inconsolable Memories.
The crisp, expansive photographs document buildings, neighbourhoods, and businesses in Havana whose physical structures tell the story of the country's difficult past: lavish buildings built pre-revolution have been deserted by their original owners-banks, hotels, churches-and modified to fit the needs of existing people and communities.
Douglas recasts the context of Alea's original work (the American embargo of 1961, not the Mariel Boat Lift, inspires the exodus) and one gets the feeling that history, like Sergio's existential angst, repeats itself.

Scotsman Douglas Gordon and Canadian Stan Douglas are artists in their thirties.
Consider these artists' earlier works: In Stan Douglas's Overture (1986) a cinematic shot of a train going through a tunnel is accompanied by a seemingly unrelated voice-over reading from Proust; repetitions and loopings weave the strange pair into a jewellike enigma about time, motion through time, and memory.
Like Stan Douglas, Douglas Gordon also uses film and broadcasting elements, altering them to free them from the original intentions of their makers.

 VOX - Stan Douglas
When Stan Douglas remade Journey into Fear (2001), a spy drama originally filmed in 1942 by Norman Foster and then made again by Daniel Mann in 1975, he was attempting to retrace the determining economic and political factors underlying the contexts in which each film had been articulated.
The action in Douglas’ version takes place on a freighter, and the dialogue between the person in charge of the cargo and the commander reveals this historic passage between the preeminence of politics and that of a globalized economy.
