Martin Creed


Martin Creed at the Hayward Gallery
Really interesting and the concept of nothing being something was something I felt that was done, but this was nice. The room filled with balloons was not only really fun and manic, it was significant. Creed is showing that when we see open air it appears to be nothing. Yet he challenges your perception of space to show that space is 'something'. The oxygen in the air was replaced almost with the balloons. Neon light signs were a part of the exhibition, as well as a lot of 'doodle' drawings, but Creed's music was a feature that separates him from others. The use of pianos and orchestras in a lift was a nice touch.
Would recommend!
