The Tate
in Britain is a Neoclassical gallery that displays artwork in a quiet setting.
Martin Creed displayed is performance piece, No. 850 in the museum as
well. His piece was far from the same ambiance; his performance piece consisted
of runners running through the museum at thirty-second intervals. The piece was
completed in 2008.
The piece is documented by photography and video. The piece has many dimensions
as it is a work preformed in a space. The work has a physical and human spirit
to it as Creed instructed the sprinters to sprint as fast as possible as if
their lives depended on it. Work No.850 emphasis human movement through
the performers. The performers were people from all different backgrounds all
over London.
