Martin Creed A Large Piece of Furniture Partially Obstructing a Door 1996

Well can’t Mr. Creed just do it all…

Frieze Art Fair announced today that the Frieze Music presentation for 2009 will be a performance conceived and choreographed by Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Creed. Co-commissioned by Frieze Music and Sadler’s Wells, Work No. 1020 will be performed at Sadler’s Wells during Frieze Art Fair 2009. This will be the first time that Creed has created a dance piece. Tickets are now on sale.

Taking inspiration from Les Ballets Russes’ collaborations, Work No. 1020 will use music that Creed himself has composed. The work will be performed by five classically trained dancers at Sadler’s Wells’ Lilian Baylis studio. via…

I’ll be honest; the first time I saw something of Martin Creed was when he won the Turner Prize for Light on/off. And I thought What A Wanker. Probably half out of jealousy as he was able to create art shows by filling galleries with balloons.

He is growing on me. So much that he now is one of my favorite artists.

Cannot wait to see what he comes up with for a ballet.
