This is a catalogue of Peter Doig's exhibition Cabins and Canoes in Faurschou Foundation. His works are supported with curatorial and critical texts, describing his artistical path and analyzing two main subjects of his works: cabins and canoes.

Texts in this catalogue compare Doig's obsession with the same subject(s) with the ways our memory works, multiplying similar, but not quite, images of the same events.

In a broader sense, this catalogue (and Doig's works) respond to the existence of contemporary art trends and anti-trends (painting), the ways memory works and what is more interesting - colonization (because Doig returns to Trinidad, which used to be Spanish, French, British, Dutch colony, and this large history creates a tension with the figure of the privileged white male (British) artist).
