‘MARTIN CREED’
\nopened NOV 8, 2013
\nthe show runs thru DEC 21, 2013
\nGAVIN BROWN’S ENTERPRISE<\/a> – 620 GREENWICH ST, WEST SIDE, NYC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nflashback:<\/strong>
\nif the explicit video loop in MARTIN CREED’S last show, came across as a ‘manual on human reproduction’, taking place inside a space ship; the other part of the exhibit, a custom ‘floor’ was . . a totally ‘inverted’ gallery experience. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthere was NO product on the walls.
\nthere was NO art on the formal white gallery walls.
\nthere was just . . this gorgeous floor.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthe consistently striped design of contrasting marble, was the ART.
\nhow it ‘ran’ through the gallery space was – the ART. . <\/p>\n

‘gravity’ was thrown under the bus, again. <\/p>\n

literally, in that you walked on .. the art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nyou were walking on – what you could buy.
\nif I remember correctly you could commission this floor to be laid down in your own house, office, lobby. whatever.
\nwould I want that ? you bet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nin the NEW EXHIBIT, 2013:<\/strong><\/p>\n

MARTIN CREED, ‘Work No. 1697’, 2013. Brick and mortar, 156 x 156 x 12 in.<\/p>\n

so, I bring up the past .. to help make sense of the present.
\na vast wall, as opposed to a floor. but it’s still: SPATIAL PLAY.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthis is the same piece, seen from a different vantage point.
\na brick wall, a very simple context in principle . . is made to perform in a very dynamic and surprising way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand that’s the beauty of MARTIN CREED’s work . . in a nutshell.<\/p>\n
