Ghost-haunted land
Contemporary art and post-Troubles Northern IrelandSince the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 ? the formal end-point of the thirty-year modern ?Troubles? ? contemporary visual artists have offered diverse responses to post-conflict circumstances in Northern Ireland. In Ghost-Haunted Land ? the first book-length examination of post-Troubles contemporary art ? Declan Long highlights artists who have reflected on the ongoing anxieties of aftermath. This wide-ranging study addresses developments in video, photography, painting, sculpture, performance and more, offering detailed analyses of key works by artists based in Ireland and beyond ? including 2014 Turner Prize winner Duncan Campbell and internationally acclaimed filmmaker and photographer Willie Doherty. ?Post-Troubles? contemporary art is discussed in the context of both local transformations and global operations ? and many of the main points of reference in the book come from broader debates about the place and purpose of contemporary art in today?s world.
