	creed on Encyclopedia.com
		1 The Nicene Creed, beginning, “I believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible, and in one Lord Jesus Christ … .” It is usually described as a revision by the First Council of Constantinople (381) of the creed adopted at Nicaea in 325.
		The Nicene Creed is a traditionally authoritative creed of Orthodox Eastern, Roman Catholic, and some Protestant churches.
		It has two material differences from the Nicene Creed: the phrase, “He descended into hell,” is omitted in the Nicene, and the words “resurrection of the body” are changed to “resurrection of the dead” in the Nicene.

	Tate Britain \| Martin Creed Biography
		Martin Creed was born in Wakefield, England, in 1968, and from 1986-90 attended the Slade School of Art in London.
		Creed's art is characterised by a gentle but subversive wit and by a minimalism rooted in an instinctive anti-materialism.
		A central theme of Creed's work is the nature of art itself, the relationship between art and reality, art and life, a preoccupation of much modern art, and he explores the boundaries in interesting and unsettling ways.

	Turner Prize - win by Creed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Martin Creed is, in fact, a brilliant winner, and since 1995 has shown a remarkable flow of developing work, even a mastery of his field.
		Martin Creed joins a hall of fame in the list of previous winners, including Gilbert and George, Hodgkin, and Tony Cragg as well as the sculptor Anish Kapoor, and Damien Hirst.
		Creed’s intimations of mortality have something in common with the much more gruesome work of Hirst, but this time it is minimalism that wins out.

	Artforum International: MARTIN CREED. @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Creed's self-effacing view of his art can be summed up by his Work No. 143, a written piece from 1996 that states, "the whole world + the work = the whole world." But that's only part of the story (a minimal part, if you like).
		Sometimes Creed even presents musical scores in their own right, made to be played, such as the deliciously restrained Work No. 101: For Pianoforte, 1994, which consists of playing middle C on a piano just once.
		For the art of Martin Creed is both of and about the world we inhabit, where options are open, decisions are difficult, and the most banal matters sometimes have the most profound impact.

	Articles - Martin Creed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Creed says that he makes art works not as part of an academic exploration of 'conceptual' art, but rather from a wish to connect with people, 'wanting to communicate and wanting to say hello'.
		Creed's work is often a small intervention in the world, making use of existing materials or situations rather than bringing new material into the world.
		This is not so much to do with minimalism and is more likely to be influenced by the environmental movement: Creed feels that there is enough 'stuff' in the world already and he is not sure he should be adding to it.

	Beaucoup de bruit pour rien
		Martin Creed constructs his concrete space using the vocabulary of shared aesthetic, historical and social forms.
		While, strictly speaking, the two artists add nothing to the current overproduction of signs, their works do give viewers the chance to exist in relation to them, leading them to become aware of their context and to assume their position in the play of exchange.
		The art and the manner of Marylène Negro and Martin Creed lie in the circulation, distance and coming together of bodies - that bodies are.

	20 questions to Martin Creed
		Creed's fundamentalism as both an artist and a citizen extends to acknowledge not only his own limitations as an artist (`What can I actually achieve?') but also signals the limitations of art itself.
		Creed's lower-case conundrum ultimately leaves `the work' nursing a bruised ego - its (numerical) `value' reduced to zero.
		In an attempt to both democratize the role of the interrogator and to hopefully broaden the scope of the interviews' actual remit 20 individuals - all of whom have had either a profes signal or personal relationship with Martin Creed - were each invited to pose him a single question.

	On Martin Creed's Lights Going On and Off
		One needs to remember that Creed's minimalism stands at the opposite extreme from artists whose work is meant to be pleasantly picturesque and entirely inoffensive, to fit in with just about anyone's décor.
		Creed's work as it exists as a physical object is simply boring just as Duchamp's Fountain is; whether or not it is intended to be boring is neither here nor there, because Creed has no interest in explaining it.
		Martin Creed, as I see it, has reminded us of this essential truth something we are always doing our best to forget, despite the overwhelming evidence of events both far and near.

		Even people who don't much like Martin Creed's contribution to this year's Turner Prize will remember the frustrating enigma of standing in an otherwise empty space with the lights going on and off.
		"I could have done that," may be a typical response to Creed's work, just as it was for Carl Andre's Bricks, Bob Law's empty canvases with a little Biro line running around their perimeters, and all the other artworks that have not so much captured the public's imagination as poked fun at prejudice.
		Creed's Lights Going On and Off will be remembered as much for winning as for its particular qualities, its time and place.

		Creed recaptures the original spirit of conceptual art and adds his own zing to the thing in gestures both humble and monumental in their ethereal scope.
		Following the credo of less is more, and understanding the fullness of silence, Martin Creed continues the investigations commenced by composer and conceptualist John Cage and combines this with a regard for the poetry of the Duchampian ready-made in an installation made sublime and light, wondrous and open.
		Audiences are also invited to a special free public lecture given by Martin Creed at the Victorian College of the Arts on Friday 7 October.

		If Creed can't be said to have "made" anything, he has undoubtedly "created" something - and not just something, but the essence of visual experience, light and its absence, a phenomenon so fundamental that, in the Book of Genesis, God divides the light from the dark before creating the earth itself.
		Art can be made by either method, and here, in his deadpan way, Creed demonstrates this fundamental proposition.
		Creed's work will attract the interest of the tabloids, and so may well be seen as insulting to the public.

		As is usually the case with this British artist's interventions and objects, it's easy to tell you what Martin Creed's new work is: more than three thousand floor tiles, no two alike, spread across the floor of Emmanuel Perrotin's gallery.
		All manner of spaces, and the memories associated with them, are evoked, from your mother's kitchen to the local Laundromat.
		Creed's work often fails to require more than cursory acknowledgment—as is evidenced by a selection of other, smaller pieces in Perrotin's main gallery, down the block—which makes the resonance of Work No. 330 all the more notable.

		And Martin Creed the poor soul, for someone becomes the signifier of bad, but luckily another thinks he's swell enough to work with.
		While I have no problem with Creed's right to express his idea, what I really have a problem with is that it was awarded the Turner Prize and that it was part of the Turner exhibition.
		Meaning, what makes Martin Creed's work worth knowing is not so much that it is made by an art star but because he is a sort of nice fellow who you wanna get to know and hang out with and could see yourself working with.

		Creed works with paper, music, air, light or text to create a systematic series of comically slight yet earnest works.
		None of his works have titles; they are identified only by numbers, so each piece is added to Creed's system with equal status, regardless of its size, or what it is made of.
		Martin Creed was born in Wakefield and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1986 to 1990.
