Mark Wallinger - State Britain Exhibition

State Britain is an art installation by Mark Wallinger at Tate Britain. It is an accurate copy of the one man political peace protest held by Brian Haw outside the Houses of Parliament until the police removed all the banners and posters in May 2006 following the passing by Parliament of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act prohibiting unauthorized demonstrations within a one kilometer radius of Parliament Square. If this law is taken literally, the edge of this exclusion zone reaches Tate Britain so Wallinger has positioned State Britain half inside and half outside the border and has marked a line on the floor of the galleries throughout the building. State Britain is free to see, as is most of Tate Britain, and runs until 27 August 2007.
