Martin Creed - What's The Point Of It?
image
Martin Creed is one of those artists who most people know of, even if they don’t know his name. “You know, the one who won the Turner Prize with a piece that had the lights going on and off…” Aside from the controversy, his work deals with concepts of ambiguity, presence and matter, and ranges from tiny drawings to large-scale installations, all of which are shown here at the Hayward Gallery in this survey show.
I find his work interesting and often hilarious, but it doesn’t engage me emotionally so I found this show sporadically intriguing, but ultimately really quite irritating.
