The Western Bridge gallery explored Martin Creed's oppositions in Open/Closed, Big/Small, Full/Empty, On/Off, which includes the continuous residency of a Chihuahua and an Irish wolfhound, just hanging out in the gallery together during exhibition hours.
In Creed's works, the world is made strange through simple and straightforward interventions. His focus is always on the experience of the viewer, as he described in a recent interview in the Guardian. "I think that the best things get under people's skin, make them remember them. People aren't stupid. They know what's fake and what's not. They respond to things. Art is just things in the world, usually an arrangement of colour and shapes. It's people who have the feelings and the reactions."
