Martin Creed: Work No. 3868 Half the air in a given space
Presented by multimedia artist Martin Creed, "Work No. 3868 Half the air in a given space" (2024) immerses viewers in an interactive installation. The piece features hundreds of yellow balloons, each containing precisely half of the air present in the gallery. By physically embodying the air, an otherwise intangible element defining open space, this whimsical fusion of art and environment invites visitors to actively alter the installation's shape and volume. The exhibition explores the dynamic interplay between sculpture and architecture, prompting audiences to become active participants in shaping the artwork itself.
