Martin Creed

The exhibition features a wide range of media, including film, sculpture, sound installation, paintings and drawings. 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.
