	Willie Doherty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Willie Doherty makes work which refers to the often fearful situation of living in Northern Ireland, where many people's lives have been touched by violence.
		The presentation of Doherty's work is central to its meaning, the video installations in particular requiring precise staging, where possible in consultation with the artist.
		In much of Doherty's work, people are conspicuous by their absence, as in the video piece above or the photograph, 'The Outskirts', where the car tire marks suggest that a car skidded passed, although the frame is now empty.

		Doherty: Yes, I was very aware of that work and I made a conscious decision to try and place the work within the art world, so in a sense I appropriated that language and used it as a device that would allow me to have a level of participation before I even started.
		Doherty: Yes, it was an interesting show, shortly after that then I think he began to move in a different direction, he began making large color works.
		Doherty: Yes, there is a certain degree of risk in that; I mean that's an interesting part of making the work, in order to get the kind of images I want I have to put myself in that position.

	Willie Doherty at Alexander and Bonin. - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Made on the field of the Troubles of Ireland, Willie Doherty's videos and photographs engage the viewer with an awareness of foreboding, of surveillance.
		A text by Doherty is presented as a droning voice-over, while his virtually motionless subject is examined in a 360-degree pan, deep in a somber palette of fl and blue.
		At the age of 12, Doherty witnessed the death of the 13 peaceful demonstrators of Bloody Sunday as they protested internment without trial in Bogside, Derry, and were shot by British soldiers--who were later exonerated by a British board of inquiry.--Edward Leffingwell

	ff : publications > willie doherty - unknown depths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Unknown Depths is the first major monograph by Willie Doherty, one of the most significant artists in the British Isles, and is a seminal account of his practice.
		Doherty’s work forcefully yet subtly challenges mainstream and popular depictions of (Northern) Ireland, utilising large scale fl and white and colour photographic images superimposed with text.
		Doherty’s images are contextualised by an essay, Seeing Beyond the Pale by critic and writer Jean Fisher, which is both an eloquent survey of the artist’s métier and a labyrinthine investigation into the politics of representation in Northern Ireland.

	www.likeyou.com - Willie Doherty - Non-Specific Threat - Galerie Peter Kilchmann Zürich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Doherty was born in 1959 in Derry, Northern Ireland.
		The man in the photographs is an actor who was chosen by the artist because of his appearance in a television drama where he played the role of a menacing and violent character.
		The actor did not alter his physical appearance for the television role or for Doherty's photographs and the ambiguity between the presence of the subject/actor and the fictional character is central to the artist's intention.

	www.likeyou.com - Willie Doherty - False Memory - Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Much of Doherty's artistic output has emanated from and is closely keyed to his native city of Derry.
		The exhibition presents key examples of Doherty's early fl and white photographs, such as "Mesh" and "The Blue Skies of Ulster", and his large colour cibachrome photographs, such as "Unapproved Road I" and "Out of Sight", which exist on the borderline between the documentary and the staged.
		Doherty's most recent video installation, "Re-Run", commissioned by the British Council for this year's 25th São Paolo Biennale, is being shown for the first time in Ireland.

	Willie Doherty at Alexander and Bonin.(New York, New York)(Review of Exhibitions)(Brief Article) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Willie Doherty at Alexander and Bonin.(New York, New York)(Review of Exhibitions)(Brief Article)
		Doherty employs the eloquence of absence to express the peculiar state of mind that comes from living constantly under the threat of impending disaster.
		Doherty portrays neither victims nor perpetrators, nor does he offer any rationale for the apparently unresolvable impasse in Northern Ireland.

	Willie Doherty
		Willie Doherty was born and raised in Derry, where he still lives today.
		Doherty also uses his own camera to highlight this process, and through gentle and oblique texts, marks out carefully the additional use of language as a divisive weapon.
		Doherty does not reserve his wry commentaries entirely for his native city, but has turned an equally questioning eye towards the pretences and aspirations of the Republic.

	Irish Museum of Modern Art: Willie Doherty shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2003
		Doherty has been shortlisted for the continuing strength and relevance of his film installations and photographic works in addressing the complexities of living in divided societies as demonstrated in his exhibition at the Irish Museum of Modern Art and his contribution to the XXV São Paulo Bienal.
		The exhibition at IMMA, entitled 'Willie Doherty: False Memory', ran from 31 Ocotber 2002 to 9 March 2003 and was the first substantial showing of Doherty’s work in Ireland and one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of his work anywhere to date.
		Closely keyed to his native city of Derry and the Northern Ireland “Troubles”, like all Doherty’s work, it revealed the complex shifting range of relationships between places and events and the images by which they come to be represented and recalled.

	Artnews.info New York: Willie Doherty at Alexander and Bonin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Since the mid 1990's, Willie Doherty has produced video installations that have consistently addressed problems of representation, territoriality and surveillance as well as the politics and rhetoric of identity, especially in his native Northern Ireland.
		If ‘places’ are defined, well-lit zones in which everyday social relations and actions are performed, ‘non-places’ are shadowy spaces of ambiguity and uncertain boundaries, of clandestine acts that perennially threaten the stable and durable identity of the place of sociality.
		Willie Doherty was born in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1959 and continues to live and work in that city.

	Willie Doherty: Extracts From A File
		Berlin by night - a dark, mysterious, and strangely beautiful place depicted by artist Willie Doherty in a remarkable series of fl-and-white photographs made during his recent year-long residency in the city.
		Our attention is drawn to dimly illuminated exteriors and the promise of interior spaces from which we are excluded; the glow of a chandelier through partially opened blinds, a gleam reflected in a puddle, shadows cast in empty streets.
		Doherty's photographs exist in a world between light and dark where images are transformed by our inability to locate them precisely.

		Willie Doherty was born in 1959 in Derry, Northern Ireland.
		Much of Doherty's work refers to an undercurrent of fear, oppression and uncertainty that for many has been a daily experience of life in Northern Ireland over the last three decades, whilst revealing a deep mistrust of the journalistic medium.
		While still rooted in his daily experience of sectarian division, Doherty’s recent art has begun to transcend its political specifics to explore wider notions of identity, memory and truth.

	ART IN REVIEW; Willie Doherty - New York Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		If you don't know anything about Willie Doherty, you might take his large, glossy Cibachromes at face value -- as richly textured pictures of twiggy bushes and trees, shot while walking in the woods.
		Doherty lives in Northern Ireland and is known for dealing with the political conflicts there, you look closer.
		Doherty wants to avoid the pictorial cliches of political art, but you wish he could be more revealing.

	The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago: Publications - Willie Doherty, True Nature
		When asked to produce a work for The Society, Irish artist Willie Doherty began with several trips to interview Chicagoans of Irish decent who had never visited Ireland.
		Juxtaposing them with video footage shot in both Ireland and Chicago, Doherty revealed the degree to which Ireland is perpetually mythologized.
		The longing for homeland, as articulated in Doherty's romantic landscape imagery, has become all the more pronounced against a backdrop of globalization.

	Willie Doherty - Non-Specific Threat at Alexander and Bonin - A Review by Donald Goddard
		Willie Doherty is one of the few artists whose work requires, or at least asks, that you come to terms with it.
		It's complicated, because it is often dark and hard to see and to understand how things have gotten to where they are, just as it is difficult to understand precisely how things have gotten to the where they are in Northern Ireland, where Doherty was born and lives.
		It is still dark, but now there is a single figure (a torso) confronting us, or confronted by us, in several large color photographs in the first room, and in a continuous loop video in the second room.

	CIRCA Art Magazine - Summer 2003 - Article: Willie Doherty: Language, Imagery and the Real (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In Willie Doherty's terms, each side in the conflict has an inability to see clearly, a 'blind spot'.
		Doherty's work exists in that zone where attempts to isolate the reality of what happened come up against questions concerning the reliability of language and imagery to represent the real.
		It is the merit of Doherty's work that it enables the issue of the relation between language, imagery and the real to be opened up to interrogation, so that the perspectives presented by either side in the conflict may be seen as precisely that: perspectives.

	Willie Doherty: Alexander and Bonin ArtForum - Find Articles
		Willie Doherty's NON-SPECIFIC THREAT, 2004, is a simple single-channel video that lasts a mere seven minutes, forty-six seconds but lingers chillingly in the memory.
		This man, who may or may not be the person--the terrorist?--we want him to be, who returns our gaze with eyes obscured by shadow, is threatening precisely because the nature of his dissent is so nebulous, shifting according to our own position and matching us move for move.
		Doherty is a native of the Northern Irish town of Derry and since the mid-'80s has drawn on the sectarian divides of that region.

	Donald Goddard Reviews Willie Doherty: excerpts from a file
		Doherty's usual site has been on the edge of Europe, in Derry, Northern Ireland, where he lives.
		Doherty doesn't allow you to remove yourself from any of this, and he often incorporates words in his large color prints and narration in his videotapes to bind you to his images of deserted factories, onrushing car traffic, and bodies found on country lanes.
		In the dark, and in the center of modern alienation and demolition, he is drawn to light that illuminates where people live, their names, fences that can be seen through, passages leading elsewhere.

	Northern Ireland at the Venice Biennale 2007
		Willie is one of Northern Ireland’s highest profile artists and an established name in the international contemporary art scene.
		This is a great opportunity to build upon the success of last year’s event, and a chance to reinforce the growing prestige of the arts from Northern Ireland.
		On this occasion I am proposing a very different exhibition - while the artists who took part in last year’s exhibition were for the most part just beginning their international careers, this year I have selected Willie Doherty, Northern Ireland’s most internationally-recognised artist.
