Gavin Brown’s enterprise (GBE) is thrilled to announce the May 9th opening of a major exhibition by Martin Creed. Occupying GBE’s freshly expanded gallery spaces, the exhibition will include a monumental architectural intervention and the premiere of a new film work. This will be the gallery’s third solo exhibition with the artist. It also will be Creed’s first solo show in the United States since his mid-career survey “Feelings,” at CCS Bard | Hessel Museum in 2007.

In the new exhibition, Creed will create a spectacular new site-specific installation, remaking the entire gallery floor with a painstaking arrangement of more than 100 types of marble in stripes of many colors and textures. Expansive in its cultural references, and optically dazzling, this floor will become a ‘painting’ framed by the space of the gallery. The walls will be bare. Engaging the work, each other, and the world outside GBE’s windows, visitors will prove Creed’s thesis that “works should have space for people in them.”
