Martin Creed- I like things






Martin Creed
This guy intrigues me. Won the Turner Prize in 2001 for Work No 227: The Lights Going On And Off

Creed’s art is characterised by a gentle wit and by a minimalism rooted in an instinctive anti-materialism. He explores the boundaries in interesting and unsettling ways. He definitely doesn't take himself too seriously, sooo refreshing. 
The "piece" i love is: Work No. 88 ‘a sheet of A4 paper crumpled into a ball’, he describes this as ‘an attempt to short-circuit the visually overloaded, choice saturated culture in which we live’.
And my favourite.... the "i like things song"
