Mark Wallinger's 'Construction Site', 2011.
This is a still from a Mark Wallinger film soon to be on show at the Baltic Centre in Gateshead. 'Construction Site' is an hour long recording of three scaffolders creating and dismantling this structure. The temporary structure reminds me of the grids artists have traditionally used to accurately scale images - the similarity is pleasing because Wallinger's largely conceptual work is the antithesis grid-painted works.
