Review: Martin Creed
Away from the glitz of the opening of Hauser & Wirth's big new gallery is this one piece show. For his Work No 700 Martin Creed has stacked three progressively slimmer 12 metre steel I-beams on top of each other in the sculpture garden behind Hauser & Wirth's Piccadilly space. He has applied such incremental ordering to many things from cardboard boxes and cacti to chairs and dogs. The expected rigour and urge to perfection of classic minimalism rubs up against the wear, tear and imperfections of the real world, here represented by a satisfying degree of rust.
