Mark Wallinger Curates:The Russian Linesman Frontiers, Borders and Thresholds


The Hayward, Southbank centre:Mark Wallinger Curates:The Russian Linesman Frontiers, Borders and Thresholds
2007 Turner prize-winner Mark Wallinger, one of Britain's most original and unpredictable artists, curates this unique exhibition exploring notions of the liminal: thresholds between physical, political or metaphysical realms.
Artists include Vija Celmins, Thomas Demand, Albrecht Durer, Bruce Nauman, Giuseppe Penone and Fred Sandback.
What can I say looks like Dr Who has landed literally.I liked the short film about the Ballet Dancer who was about to retire at the age of 42, She had never made it as the principle dancer and had always wanted to dance as Giselle so in the film she realises her dream, it was quite sad. I also liked the film of old movies and the comparison to the same areas today.
