Martin Creed

1197: All the bells in the country rung as quickly and as loudly as possible for three minutes was commissioned to herald the start of the 2012 Summer Olympics.

1020 was also performed in 2014 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in connection with Creed's retrospective at the Hayward Gallery, London.

[10] Many of his works are on free public view, like the Scotsman Steps in Edinburgh, DON'T WORRY at St Peter's Church, Cologne, The singing lifts at The Royal Festival Hall, London, and also at the Centro Botin in Santander, and the huge spinning sign MOTHERS on a roof in Fort Worth, Texas.

1000' consists of 1000 hand prints made with broccoli, and exemplifies Creed's funny, child-like approach turned up to eleven.

[11][12] Creed continues to exhibit work internationally and regularly gives talks and plays live with his band.

[13] Most recently, a 46-metre multicoloured version was commissioned for Christchurch Art Gallery, in the advent of its reopening after almost five years of earthquake-related closure.

[14] In 2011, Creed was commissioned by Fruitmarket Gallery to make a work as part of the restoration of the historic Scotsman Steps in Edinburgh.

1343 where every single piece of cutlery, glass, chair and table was different and brought together a mix of the mass-produced and hand-crafted, from classic antiques to contemporary design from all around the world.

In 2010, he provided the cover art for a Futuristic Retro Champions single, while supporting its launch with an appearance with his own band with Keiko Owada on bass, Genevieve Murphy on keyboards, Ben Kane on drums and Anouchka Grose on steel guitar.

January 2014 saw the release Mind Trap, an album that featured songs alongside instrumental pieces for orchestra.

Creed sings and plays the instruments, supported by gospel singers Dee Alexander and Yvonne Gage (who have worked with The Police, Madonna and R.Kelly) and Andy Knowles (musical credits include stints with the Fiery Furnaces & Franz Ferdinand) playing drums on If You're Lonely, You Return and Don't Tell Me.

Co-produced by Martin with Andy Knowles, the album was recorded in London, Chicago and the Czech Republic.

Nick McCarthy of Franz Ferdinand and Mark Ralph (who works with Hot Chip) provided additional production.

The Chicago songs, which form the heart of the album, were recorded all-analogue at John McEntire's (Tortoise) Soma Studios.

1674: Anouchka and was designed by Andy Knowles, who has recently directed videos for Franz Ferdinand and The Cribs.

A new body of audiovisual work was released in late November 2015 in response to the Syrian refugee crisis.

The double A-side single “Let Them In / Border Control” was made available via Telephone Records as free downloads on SoundCloud.

The album includes the singles "Understanding" and "Princess Taxi Girl" for which accompanying videos have been released.

In the decade since winning the Turner Prize he has exhibited extensively throughout the world, including large survey shows at Trussardi Foundation, Milan ('I Like Things'), Bard College, New York ('Feelings'), and a touring exhibition which started at Ikon Gallery Birmingham and toured to Hiroshima and Seoul.

Coinciding with the exhibition at the Hayward, the Southbank Centre commissioned Martin to compose a new piece for the Royal Festival Hall organ, resulting in Work No.

[19] Creed's largest survey show to date took place at Park Avenue Armory, New York from June - August 2016, curated by Tom Eccles and Hans-Ulrich Obrist.

Entitled ’The Back Door,’ using both the Wade Thompson Drill Hall and the historic interiors of the building, the show brought together a sequence of works from Creed's more than 20-year career.

[21] In this exhibition he showed a wall with 1000 broccoli prints in various colors, he filled a room with blue balloons for walking through.

[22] It ran from 6 April to 9 June and features several new installations including one put amongst some trees which surround the building.
