Considering himself as a painter predominantly, Craig Mulholland tackles just about every medium and subject going. ‘Plastic Casino’ (2004) was a massive exhibition that, inspired by Walter Benjamin’s The Arcades Project, turned an abandoned sweatshop into a kind of galleria for art. Making plinths and their accompanying artworks, Mulholland took on much of 20th-century painting while also satirizing Glasgow’s urban regeneration. Incorporating sculpture, animation and installation, Bearer on Demand (2005) dealt with economies and computer viruses. Its filmic component, Hyperinflation, which references William S. Burroughs, Karl Marx and Bram Stoker is on show at Tate Lightbox until 31 December.
