"I am sick of thinking. I am sick and tired of thinking. I want my work to be more like a vomit than a rumination. I just want to go 'Blah!'. Or 'Woosh!'"- Martin Creed
Screening of 'SICK,' 20 mins, 2006, Cert 15
Martin Creed was born in 1968 and grew up in a suburb of Glasgow
before studying painting at The Slade School of Fine Art in
London. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2001 for his "Work
No. 227: The lights going on and off". He took part in last year's
Biennale de Lyon and a major solo exhibition of his work was held
in Bern's Kunsthalle in 2003. Both London's Tate Modern and New
York's Museum of Modern Art have his works in their collections.
This year he is working on a theatre show with The Public Art Fund,
New York, and a large survey exhibition at the Hessel Museum New
York.
Hosted by The School of Fine Art, The Friday Event Lecture
Series is The Glasgow School of Art's flagship public lecture
series, and brings major international speakers (including artists,
architects, designers, historians and cultural theorists) to the
city of Glasgow.
