Seven years after his controversial Work No. 227: The lights going on and off, which consisted of just that, in an empty gallery at Tate Britain (and which contributed to him winning the Turner Prize), British artist Martin Creed returns to his crucible with Work No. 850. Every 30 seconds from now until November, a single runner will sprint the length of the empty Duveen Galleries. Creed, whose practice typically involves raw physicality, pseudo-autistic repetition, and the slightest alterations to materials and spaces, says Work No. 850 is about exhibiting life lived fully, and the comfort of regularity. Skye Sherwin, deputy editor of ArtReview magazine, caught up with Creed on the opening day of the exhibition.

- Anthropologist, museum and art curator, started in 2006 a long-term visual conceptual project: a work in progress that includes single-channel video, film, explorations of archive footage, experimental movies and conceptual photography. The art project materializes visual experiences involving original footage or the re-treatment of moving images and also the use of soundscapes. Basically, the conceptual outline goes from the political visual essay (violence in history) to a deeper more introspective way, like expressing the Freudian psychoanalysis or going into Nietzsche’s philosophy. Aesthetically is inspired in two close-related modern and post-modern movements: surrealism (language) and pop art (technique). It is also assumed a strong link – formal and informal – to the history of cinema.
