This catalogue and exhibition is a survey of new and recent works by
acclaimed British artist and Turner Prize winner Martin Creed,
including pieces commissioned by Ikon, various off-site projects and
events.
Involving a wide range of media, including film, sculpture, sound
installation, paintings and drawings, it will be Creed’s most
comprehensive and ambitious exhibition to date.
Whilst Creed's work can seem abstract and conceptual, in interviews
the artist reveals a sensitive, thoughtful side and an artistic
ambition continually confounded by a deep insecurity about what to make
and whether it is worthwhile.
His work is often a small intervention in the world, making use of
existing materials or situations rather than bringing new material into
the world.
This catalogue critically considers all aspects of Creed's oeuvre - video, sculpture, painting, neons and ready mades, from his Sick Film to stacked bean bags by way of his famous Work No. 126 : A Sheet of paper crumpled into a ball.
