Martin Creed’s newest solo exhibition takes place across the city of Rome as Galleria Lorcan O'Neill opens a new space. The exhibition is comprised of three separate installations, the first in via Orti D’Alibert, with a new series of works of acrylic paintings, portraits, and sculptures in iron and cardboard; the second in via della Lungara, with one of Creed’s most renowned installations, “Work No.1584: Half the air in a given space.” In the new gallery location, Vicolo dei Catinari 3, Creed presents the third installation, a grand series of sculptures composed of iron beams conceived specifically for the space. 

Martin Creed’s first solo exhibition at Galleria Lorcan O’Neill is comprised of wall paintings conceived specifically for the gallery, which intend to scewer the viewers perception of depth and gravity by employing a series of multicoloured pinstriped patterns. The exhibition also includes photography, sculpture and neon; each exploring Creed’s desire to translate complex thought, feeling and instinct into minimal marks and gestural imprints.

‘SAY CHEESE!’, Martin Creed’s new exhibition at the Museum Voorlinden, acts as testament to the artist’s playful creativity.  Incorporating works with cacti, balls and light bulbs, stacks of toilet paper and a wall covered with broccoli paintings, Creed's uniquely versatile oeuvre is made apparent, as is his fascination with the everyday object. 

Park Avenue Armory presents a solo exhibition by Martin Creed titled "The Back Door". The artist continues his ongoing exploration into rhythm, scale, and order in his largest exhibition in the U.S. to date, offering a survey of work from its most minimal moments to extravagant, larger-than-life installations. Utilizing both the Wade Thompson Drill Hall and the historic interiors of the building, Creed reimagines the space with opening and closing doors, curtains, a slamming piano, and balloons, amongst other new works made for this exhibition.

A major exhibition of recent works by Martin Creed opens at The Fruitmarket Gallery, in Edinburgh. While the focus of the exhibition is progression, a theme realized through stacked plates, tables, boxes, and a series of paintings, the central work takes the form of a commission in which Creed has transformed the gallery staircase into a synthesizer, each step sounding a different note on the scale as the viewer walked up or down.

Martin Creed’s exhibition, ‘Things’, at The Common Guild, Glasgow, presents a selection of works made by the artist over a period of more than 15 years. Utilising commonplace materials from copy paper and cardboard boxes to dining room tables, carefully ordered according to size, Creed presents the spectrum of absurdity that can be found in the ordinary or everday. The exhibition moves on to Sala Alcala 31, Madrid, in late 2011.
