  • Mark Wallinger Italian Lessons
    Victoria Miro Mark Wallinger Italian Lessons Private View 5:30 – 7:30pm, Saturday 27 January 2018 Exhibition 27 January – 10 March 2018 Victoria Miro Venice, Il Capricorno, San Marco 1994, 30124 Venice, Italy Image: Mark Wallinger, Genius of Venice (detail), 1991 Glass, catalogue pages, nightlights, metal brackets 38 x 32 x 6 cm / 15 x 12 5/8 x 2 3/8 inches each, 7 parts Courtesy the artist and Hauser & Wirth Photo: Todd-White Art Photography © Mark Wallinger Victoria Miro, in collaboration with Hauser & Wirth, is delighted to present Italian Lessons, an exhibition by Mark Wallinger. Selected by the artist especially for Victoria Miro Venice, the works on display date from 1991 to 2016 and reflect a career-long engagement with ideas of power, authority, artifice and illusion. While sources of inspiration include the Italian masters and masterpieces in Italian collections, this is the first time many of these works have been shown in Italy. “In a sense, the exhibition is like my mini Grand Tour.” – Mark Wallinger Encompassing autobiography and art history, the Italian Lessons of the exhibition title are manifold. They refer to Wallinger’s own education and to his exposure to the Italian masters: via a charismatic college lecturer in his native Essex; a seminal exhibition in London; a bicycle tour from Paris to Florence. Equally, the Lessons make reference to the cornerstones of art history – such as the development of perspective and trompe-l’oeil techniques – and the shifts in consciousness they have brought about. Lessons theological as well as pedagogical may be deduced in the content or context of his source material, part of a long-term consideration of religion as one of the ideological forces through which order is imposed on the world.

Love Is What You Want , Lougher Contemporary. Crane , No Time for Love. The Kiss Was Beautiful , In The Art of Tracey Emin, distinguished critics from Britain and the United States address her achievement in depth for the first time, tracing Emin's influences from Egon Schiele to Judy Chicago and establishing her place in a larger tradition of postmodern and feminist art. Adopting a variety of critical approaches, contributors explore the full range of Emin's work, from photography and monoprints to installation art and videos, showing that, however raw and personal it may seem to be, it actually represents a carefully meditated response to vital issues in contemporary culture and society. Deals the truth about anal intercourse, at last: how liberating it is- but only for the purpetrator. In this case, the work explores the common experience of depression through a very personal and intimate lens. This artwork draws an important distinction between representation and presentation. This piece is not a representation of an object such as a painting or a sculpture. The art object doesn't refer to another object; it is the object itself. Some have argued that this was the key work in elevating women's experiences to the level of artistic expression.

FAX +1 212.431.5326. newmuseum.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 30, 2012 PRESS CONTACTS: Gabriel Einsohn, Communications Director [email protected] Andrea Schwan, Andrea Schwan Inc. [email protected] New Museum to Present Exhibition of Works by Tacita Dean Works to Feature Portraits of Creative Figures including Merce Cunningham, Leo Steinberg, Julie Mehretu, Claes Oldenburg, and Cy Twombly Tacita Dean, Still from Craneway Event, 2009. 16mm color anamorphic film, 108 mins. Courtesy the artist, Marian Goodman Gallery, New York / Paris, and Frith Street Gallery, London New York, NY…This May, the New Museum will present an exhibition of works by British artist Tacita Dean—the most substantial presentation of the artist’s work in New York to date. The presentation focuses on a group of recent pieces that capture five important American artists and thinkers of the last fifty years and features Merce Cunningham, Leo Steinberg, Julie Mehretu, Claes Oldenburg, and Cy Twombly. These works are beautifully crafted portraits of each individual, opening a lens onto their artistic processes and personal memories. This installation, organized in close collaboration with Dean, brings together an under-recognized strand of her practice and provides insight into the way in which her filmmaking intersects with painting, sculpture, writing, and dance.This exhibition is part of a series of focus shows concentrating on a single project or body of work within an artist’s larger practice which began last May with presentations by Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Gustav Metzger. “Tacita Dean: Five Americans” will be on view from May 6–July 1, 2012, and is curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions, and Margot Norton, Curatorial Associate.

Selezionate dall’artista particolarmente per Victoria Miro Venice, le opere esposte appartengono al periodo tra il 1991 e 2016 e riflettono l’impegno di un’intera carriera con idee di potenza, autorità, artificio e illusione. Sebbene le fonti d’ispirazione includano maestri italiani e capolavori di collezioni italiane, è la prima volta che molte di queste opere sono esposte in Italia. “In un certo senso, la mostra è come se fosse il mio Grand Tour in miniatura.” – Mark Wallinger Includendo sia elementi autobiografici che storia dell’arte, le Italian Lessons (Lezioni italiane), da cui la mostra prende il titolo, hanno un carattere variegato. Si riferiscono all’educazione artistica di Wallinger e al suo contatto con i maestri italiani: attraverso un carismatico professore universitario dell’Essex (regione in cui è nato), un’influente mostra a Londra e un tour in bicicletta da Parigi a Firenze. Allo stesso modo, le Lezioni fanno riferimento alle basi della storia dell’arte come ad esempio lo sviluppo delle tecniche della prospettiva e il trompe-l’œil, e quindi ai cambiamenti che queste apportano nella coscienza dell’osservatore.

  • An Interview with Mark Wallinger
    An Interview with Mark Wallinger Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/octo/article-pdf/doi/10.1162/octo.2008.123.1.185/1754526/octo.2008.123.1.185.pdf by guest on 24 September 2021 YVE-ALAIN BOIS, GUY BRETT, MARGARET IVERSEN, AND JULIAN STALLABRASS The following discussion with the British artist Mark Wallinger, which took place in his London flat on June 3, 2007, essentially focuses on State Britain, his eight-month installation at Tate Britain.1 The excellent press release provided by the museum deserves to be quoted in full: Mark Wallinger has recreated peace campaigner Brian Haw’s Parliament Square protest for a dramatic new installation at Tate Britain. Running along the full length of the Duveen Galleries, State Britain consists of a meticulous reconstruction of over 600 weather-beaten banners, pho- tographs, peace flags and messages from well-wishers that have been amassed by Haw over the past five years. Faithful in every detail, each section of Brian Haw’s peace camp from the makeshift tarpaulin shelter and tea-making area to the profusion of hand-painted placards and teddy bears wearing peace-slogan t-shirts has been painstakingly sourced and replicated for the display. Brian Haw began his protest against the economic sanction in Iraq in June 2001, and has remained opposite the Palace of Westminster ever since. On 23 May 2006, following the passing by Parliament of the “Serious Organised Crime and Police Act” prohibiting unauthorised demonstrations within a one kilometer radius of Parliament Square, the majority of Haw’s protest was removed. Taken literally, the edge of this exclusion zone bisects Tate Britain.
