Martin Creed | The Dick Institute Experience the work of one of this country’s most ingenious, audacious and surprising artists at the Dick Institute ARTIST ROOMS Martin Creed presents highlights from the British artist’s thirty-year career. Born in in 1968, and raised in Glasgow, Creed came to prominence in 2001 when he won the Turner prize and he is recognised internationally for his playful, thought-provoking, and deeply ambiguous approach to art. Artist, musician, composer and performer, Creed's multi-disciplinary practice draws on the everyday, transforming common materials and actions into surprising meditations on existence, choice and perception.
