Billboard for Edinburgh: Mark Wallinger

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.

Date Location
In heavily-detailed drawings and the sculptures she calls 'walk-in drawings', Richardson examines the mindset of the compulsive gambler and the notion that the world's financial markets are built on anything more secure than just an extravagant, mathematically-abetted gamble.
