Of course it’s not a print, rather the impression left after the hand has been removed and as such symbolises the marks left on the environment by people now departed. To me this is a profoundly democratic view of art for all, on the street, enhancing and changing our environment, interacting with people, landscape and architecture reflecting a sense of place through the expression of our history and humanity, it is this that inspires me. My practice concentrates on working in large scale painted murals, mosaics for floors and walls and mosaic sculptures. In developing this work I draw on the specific site, its history and stories, its architecture and landscape and its community and users to create works which are specific to each site, enduring and beautiful. My experience includes working with other artists, council officers, architects, landscapers, interior designers, planners, engineers and contractors and I have worked extensively with a wide variety of community groups at every level of the creative process.

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.

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.

    Victoria Miro Mark Wallinger Italian Lessons Inaugurazione privata, sabato 27 gennaio 2018 h. 17.30 – 19.30 Apertura al pubblico: 27 gennaio – 10 marzo 2018 Victoria Miro Venice, Il Capricorno, San Marco 1994, 30124 Venezia, Italia Immagine: Mark Wallinger, Genius of Venice (particolare), 1991 Vetro, pagine di catalogo, candeline, staffe di metallo 38 x 32 x 6 cm / 15 x 12 5/8 x 2 3/8 pollici ognuna, 7 parti Per gentile concessione dell’artista e Hauser & Wirth Foto: Todd-White Art Photography © Mark Wallinger Victoria Miro, in collaborazione con Hauser & Wirth, è lieta di presentare Italian Lessons, una mostra di Mark Wallinger. 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.
