Centro Pecci presents MARK WALLINGER MARK, the first solo exhibition in Italy of the British artist Mark Wallinger.
Wallinger, born 1959 in Chigwell/UK, is one of the most prominent contemporary artists living and working in Great Britain today. Known for his investigations of identity and a career-long engagement with ideas of power, authority, artifice and illusion, he works in a wide range of media, covering painting, sculpture, photography, film, installation, performance and public art. Wallinger was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1995 and won in 2007 for his installation State Britain, an exact replica of peace campaigner Brian Haw’s protest camp in London’s Parliament Square. On view at Centro Pecci will be central works from different phases of Wallinger’s career, giving an insight into the artist’s manifold practice.
From 24 February to 3 of June 2018
