	Mark Wallinger
		Mark Wallinger (born 1959) is a British artist, best known for his sculpture for the empty fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, Ecce Homo (1999).
		Wallinger's early work is noted for its social commentary, often focusing on class, royalty and nationalism.
		Wallinger has said that the title might be taken as a double meaning: arrival at the United Kingdom, but also at the kingdom of heaven, with a security guard playing the part of St.

	The Mind’s Construction Quarterly » Mark Wallinger
		What Wallinger seems to be suggesting here is manifold; that mediation, by film or otherwise, can never actually pertain to neutrality and thus even the artist is implicated through his motives.
		Wallinger's strategy then is one of allocating history a fictive space, where it is as much subject to individual narratives as it is to grand narratives, both being complicated by the multiplicity of interests at play.
		Here, Wallinger is evoking his earlier work which investigated, through the fictitious persona of a blind man, the privileged role sight plays not simply in the 'visual' arts but in locating ourselves socially in the world that surrounds us.

		Wallinger divides the exhibition space at Portikus in the front half by a wall, creating two different-size rooms.
		The impression of a tilted room is increased by two square photographs hanging to the sides, also tilted by 90° and spanning the height of Portikus.
		Behind the automatic double-door, Wallinger centrally placed a circular metal tube with an attached apparatus: a pole with one end formed to an eyelet, which can be run along the tube.

		The centrepiece of the exhibition was Ecce Homo, Wallinger's life-size marble resin statue of Christ bound with rope and crowned with thorns, which last year stood on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square.
		Here I think Wallinger is likening the mythical beast concealed under the outward appearance of the racehorse to Christ's divinity hidden within his human form.
		To see the look of transporting joy on the faces of those who, after a long journey, once again embrace their loved ones, is to realise that that the expectation of seeing again those we have loved is the foundation on which Christianity is based.

		So when Wallinger and his team breezed into London City Airport and shot the video for his installation Threshold to the Kingdom, 2000, without a scrap of authorization, a small revenge was scored.
		Wallinger says he adjusted areas of its face and chest to add an echo of classical modeling, so maybe this supplies an explanation.

	Richard Grayson - writing - catalogue essays
		As in some science fiction movie, mysterious ruptures in the fabric of the contemporary and everyday have occurred and revealed traces of how things may have been at some earlier and more elemental period (or perhaps how things may yet be), when strange forces moved across the face of the earth.
		The usual take on Mark Wallinger is that his work used to be about politics — which in this case is a coded phrase for class as much as anything else - who is now moving across questions of personal and national identity, history, and sport into musings on belief and the spiritual.
		During the Q and A session for ‘The Lark Ascending’ the interlocutor said, slightly plaintively, that ‘we hear so much about the return to the sublime….is there such a return?’ and Mark Wallinger said that maybe there was, maybe there wasn’t, but for him there was certainly a stripping away of irony.

		Slightly harder to fathom is a sequence of home-movie footage as part of a display in the Jewish Museum, Berlin, which Wallinger has re-filmed in situ, allowing us to see the visitors to the museum watching the film.

		On Trafalgar Square, directly adjacent to Nelson's Column and other imperial symbols, Wallinger erected his sculpture "Ecce Homo" – a naturalistic, life-sized figure of Christ, made of white marble dust and resin, wearing nothing but a loincloth and with his hands tied behind his back.

		Wallinger expresses bitterness toward Great Britain's class-ridden traditionalism through his blatant mockery of sporting tradition and symbolism.
		It's clear from the bold subtext that Wallinger's paintings and sculptures spring from strong opinions on the social elite and its pretenses of breeding and class.
		This suggestive positioning under the cover of the ludicrous costume (the recurring horse metaphor) might be intrepreted as a commentary on homosexuality in a conservative society -- again, "Mum's the word".

		The British artist Mark Wallinger became internationally known in 1999, when he designed a naturalist, life-sized statue of Christ for the huge, empty pillar in front of the National Gallery on London's Trafalgar Square.
		The figure, made of synthetic resin and white marble dust, donned with a crown of gilded barbed wire, sets a clear contrast to the heroic, national monuments on the square.
		It is, among others, a reference to the topic, which became Wallinger's main theme in the 1980s: the creation and representation of English national identity.

		For many Christians, the New Testament books are regarded as the most relevant while the Old Testament is viewed mainly as a kind of preamble to or validation of the Christian story.
		Drawing to a close before even embarking on the New Testament, Mark Wallinger’s film tilts the balance in favour of a Jewish rather than a Christian reading of the gospels.
		Emphatically concluding with the words ‘The End’, it also leaves you to decide whether this trawl through the Old Testament is intended as a reminder of the riches therein, a comment on how belief infiltrates analysis or a meditation on the fact that so few of us now read the scriptures.
