Billboard for Edinburgh: Mark Wallinger
Date Location
The punchy sentence 'MARK WALLINGER IS INNOCENT', shouted out from the well placed Ingleby Billboard, is intriguing, but with little in-gallery material to explain it, it appears to be a meaningless pharse, disappointing from such an overtly political artist.
