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. His art continually overturns our expectations and is characterised by his subversive wit. The exhibition will feature sculpture, neon works, painting and video, offering an insight into one of the most innovative artists working today.

The Dick Institute is a museum and library in Kilmarnock, Scotland. It houses the largest gallery spaces in Ayrshire and features a programme of touring exhibitions, permanent collection and displays and innovative work by local contemporary artists.

ARTIST ROOMS presents the work of international artists in solo exhibitions drawn from a national touring collection jointly owned by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. Its programme reaches audiences across the UK and is developed through local partnerships. ARTIST ROOMS gives young people the chance to get involved in creative projects, to discover more about art and artists, and learn new skills.

The ARTIST ROOMS programme and collection is managed by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland with the support of Art Fund, Henry Moore Foundation and using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and Creative Scotland. Its founding collection was established through The d'Offay Donation in 2008 with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Art Fund and the Scottish and British Governments.
