After attending Thomas Muir High School,[1] Buchanan studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s, where he was part of a group later described as "The Irascibles", which included fellow students Douglas Gordon, Ross Sinclair, Jacqueline Donachie, Christine Borland and Martin Boyce.[2]
Work in Progress (1995) is a set of photographs of amateur Scottish footballers wearing the team shirts of Inter Milan and AC Milan.[3] His 2004 film about Indian and Scottish soldiers, History Painting, was commissioned by the British Council for the 11th Indian Triennale.[4]
In 2000, he won the inaugural Beck's Futures prize for his work Gobstopper,[5] a video of children trying to hold their breath while being driven through Glasgow's Clyde Tunnel. In 2004 he was awarded a Paul Hamlyn Award.[6]
He has had solo exhibitions at Dundee Contemporary Arts (2000) and the Camden Arts Centre (2005),[7] and his work is held in the collections of the Tate[8] and the National Galleries of Scotland.[3]
In 2011, Buchanan exhibited Legacy at the Imperial War Museum in London. The work, a video and photographic installation commissioned by the museum, depicted Scottish bands from the Irish republican and British Unionist communities performing in Northern Ireland.[9]
In 2017, Buchanan was commissioned by Fermynwoods Contemporary Art to spend time in Corby meeting second and third-generation Scottish immigrants who moved to England to find work in the steel industry, through long engaging with standing football supporters clubs.[10]
