  Victor Burgin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Victor Burgin (born 1941) is an artist and a writer.
Burgin first came to attention as a conceptual artist.
In 1986, Burgin was nominated for the Turner Prize for his exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and Kettle's Yard Gallery in Cambridge and for a collection of his theoretical writings (The End of Theory) and a monograph of his visual work (Between).

 [No title]
Burgin's meditation wanders around his own act, or his own habit, of looking as a heterosexual man. Such a man's gaze selects, alights upon, and tries out some of the mutifarious images, structures, spaces, and metaphors, which construct his imaginary and which enable (or even enforce, perhaps) his position as a sexed subject.
I am assuming that the process by which Burgin makes his new work is to pass images of the "external" space through the computer, sifting and shifting them--a process that works in much the same way as that of the unconscious sifting and shifting (condensing and displacing) our perceptions of the world.
Correcting the disjuncture in Burgin's earlier pahse between the work on the wall and the politcial discourses impelling it, this work seems to become a more successful point of commutation, as it were, for "double space" and for its structuring exchange of self and other, of subject and object, of internal and external.
