A legendary game of football is the premise for this group exhibition at the Hayward, the first to be curated by 2007 Turner Prize winning artist Mark Wallinger, an avid footie fan. The Russian Linesman of the show's title refers to the referee who called a controversial line decision in the 1966 World Cup final between England and Germany. In taking this as his starting point, Wallinger examines how boundaries and our perceptions can shift - the sub title of the show, 'Frontiers, Borders and Thresholds', references this. To make his point the artist-turned-curator uses 80 art works spanning 800 years including photographs of the pyramids, works by Albrecht Durer, trompe l'oeil paintings, an exact replica of a stone and Eadweard Muybridge's famous 'moving' photographs. Among the huge diversity of works are several by Wallinger himself, including a silver TARDIS, plastic church flowers and an inversed British flag fluttering over Jubilee Gardens.About The Hayward Gallery
