Stan Douglas: Metronome (27 March–11 October 2025) showcases three major video works, each focused on the theme of music.
ISDN, 2022, connects rappers from the UK and Egypt through the now-obsolete ISDN technology, exploring social struggles and aspirations. Luanda-Kinshasa, 2013, imagines a historic jam session at Columbia’s 30th Street Studio, creating a utopian musical space where different nationalities come together. Douglas’s early work, Hors-champs,1992, features Black expatriate musicians improvising a 'free jazz' session, while his photographic series Disco Angola,2012, and Crowds and Riots,2008–21, delve deeper into themes of collective memory and cultural transference.
