The title of this exhibition, a phrase by Paul Valery which is quoted by Italo Calvino in the notes of his Norton Lecture on “lightness”, expresses the idea that to fly, to leave the bounds of gravity, to reach higher and to head for the skies is to expend effort, concentration, and volition.

In via Orti D'Alibert, the artist shows a new series of works, acrylic paintings, portraits, abstract compositions and a self-portrait on paper, as well as two sculptures in cardboard and iron.

At via della Lungara Work No. Half the air in a given space, one of the artist’s iconic balloon installations. In the new gallery at vicolo dei Catinari 3 Creed presents a grand series of sculptures, composed of iron beams stacked according to diverse structural logic, based on the industrial standard dimensions, specifically conceived for this space.

Martin Creed’s new wall paintings were especially conceived for the gallery so as to create a pinstriped space where the viewer loses his conception of depth and gravity.

Martin Creed: SAY CHEESE!

from 20 January - 7 May

The exhibition brings together around 40 works to form a coherent reflection of Creed’s versatile and characteristic oeuvre and has been realized in close collaboration with the artist. 

Park Avenue Armory presents a solo exhibition by Martin Creed - "The Back Door".

The artist continues his ongoing exploration into rhythm, scale, and order in his largest installation in the U.S. to date, a survey of his work from its most minimal moments to extravagant, larger-than-life installations.

Utilizing both the Wade Thompson Drill Hall and the historic interiors of the building, Creed reimagines the space with opening and closing doors, curtains, a slamming piano, and balloons, amongst other new works made for this exhibition.

A major exhibition of recent work by Martin Creed in Scotland with catalogue.

The show focuses on stacking and progression - stacks of planks, tables, boxes, series of paintings. A highlight of the exhibition is a new commission in which Creed turns the Gallery's staircase into a synthesizer, with each step sounding a different note on the scale as the audience walks up or down.

Things is a selection of works by Martin Creed from a period over 15 years.

Utilising commonplace materials from copy paper and cardboard boxes to dining room tables, carefully ordered according to size, Creed presents the spectrum of possibilities we are offered every day and highlights the absurdity that can be found in the ordinary.
