mark wallinger / ghost / 24-001

"By transforming the horse into a unicorn, Wallinger wryly calls our attention to the ethos of fantasy underlying Stubbs’s realism. The vision of the riderless, rearing thoroughbred as a sovereign creature, an avatar of unbridled virility is, of course, an absurdity; such horses are nothing more than glorified beasts of burden, genetically bred for a dangerous sport and traded on a speculative market.
(Ralph Rugoff, ‘Jesus is an Oxymoron’, in British Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2001, p.11.)"
