at the MCA Chicago
"In works that range from intimate poetic objects to large-scale neon
signs, Martin Creed (British, b. 1968) reevaluates the status of art
with a generous sense of humor. As part of a yearlong residency at MCA
Chicago, Creed brings his avant-garde sensibility to the building and
the city. In each month of 2012, Creed unveils an artwork in a different
space of the MCA, progressing upward through four floors of the
building and extending his work outward to the sculpture garden and
plaza and into the city of Chicago. Some works live as sculptures in the
museum’s public spaces, and some projects are site specific—for
instance, murals in the atrium and café. Others still, such as a work
that takes the form of crumpled balls of paper placed in each of the
museum’s public spaces, play with the notion of the carefully curated
object. Extending his project beyond the MCA, Creed—who fronts a rock
band—explores the city’s vibrant music scene as well."
