‘Words are things. Words are shapes, sounds, noises. Words are like other things. Words are materials. Words, like most things, are a demand for attention. I think I used words first in my work to try to describe things, to write instruction or scripts, to allow things to be made without me, by other people.’
– Martin Creed

Martin Creed presents a new work in the Starr Auditorium playing upon the given facilities and architecture of the space.

Words and music have always been an integral part of Creed's practice. From the artist’s point of view ‘talks are works and words are work’. Since last year Creed has been working on a new show which combines talking, choreography and music played with his band. Creed has said, ‘It is a talk about trying to talk’.

Tate Modern  Starr Auditorium
