The Nasher Sculpture Center’s new series of installations and interventions, Turner Prize-winning artist, Martin Creed will debut the site-specific, experiential installation Work No. 1190: Half the air in a given space in the Nasher’s Lower Level Gallery.
Creed will transform the Lower Level Gallery, filling the space with approximately 9,000 gold balloons to a height of about 8 feet. Related to several earlier installations, the balloons enclose and make visible portions of the volume of air in the room to drastically alter one’s physical experience of the space, as well as explore the relationship between sculpture and architecture. Sightings: Martin Creed will also include a focused selection of recent work in the space outside the Lower Level Gallery, including sound sculptures on the stairs and elevator activated by the visitor.
WHEN: Now until August 21
