Matt’s Gallery hosts an exhibition of Willie Doherty’s black and white photographs from 1985–92, which have rarely been exhibited before.

These early works developed conceptual and formal strategies that resided in Doherty’s practice over the next two decades to the present. In particular, they foreshadow his distinctive use of voiceover and dis- jointed narrative in the body of the video works he has subsequently produced.

Willie Doherty was born 1959 in Derry and currently lives and works in Donegal. His work in both photography and video has been shown in- ternationally in institutions since the 1980s.
