Mark Wallinger Mark

Mark Wallinger’s work encompasses painting, sculpture, photography, film, installation, performance and public art. This book, published to accompany exhibitions in Serlachius Museums, Mänttä, Dundee Contemporary Arts and The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, introduces his most recent body of work, the monumental id Paintings.

Sixty six paintings, each his height or arm span in width and double that in height, these new paintings bring into focus identity as a recurring theme within Wallinger’s practice. They move his practice, as he says, ‘from ‘painting ‘I’s to ‘I paint’ – from image to action. Placing these new works in the context of Wallinger’s practice as a whole, the book includes essays from Fiona Bradley, Director of Fruitmarket, and freelance curator and writer Timo Valjakka, and an interview between Mark Wallinger and Beth Bate, Director of Dundee Contemporary Arts.
