Martin Creed Plays Chicago: Meet Martin Creed
Martin Creed, winner of the 2001 Turner Prize and one of the UK’s leading artists, reevaluates the status of art with a generous dose of wit. As an introduction to his year-long project at the MCA, "Martin Creed Plays Chicago," Creed brings his multifaceted practice to a Chicago audience. From his work with humble, readymade materials to his ambitious public sculptures and his rock band, Creed demonstrates how his ideas circulate through the variety of media he engages in his art. Just as his artworks refuse conventionality, so does Creed’s artist talk. This is a unique early opportunity to experience the artist as he combines talking, choreography, and music in this unpredictable performance.
