Since 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. -- .
