Martin Creed: Work Number 1020 November 15, 2012

Martin Creed, the British multimedia artist, creates an unconventional ballet featuring his rock band and five dancers. 'Work No. 1020 (Ballet)' is a mix of talk, film, song, and movement built upon the five body positions of classical ballet and the notes of the musical scale. It is presented in conjunction with Martin Creed Plays Chicago, the year-long 2012 MCA artist-in-residence project in which he creates visual and performance art work in non-gallery settings in the museum throughout the year, including the massive MOTHERS sculpture on the plaza.
