Seven years after his controversial Work No. 227: The lights going on and off, which consisted of just that, in an empty gallery at Tate Britain (and which contributed to him winning the Turner Prize), British artist Martin Creed returns to his crucible with Work No. 850. Every 30 seconds from now until November, a single runner will sprint the length of the empty Duveen Galleries. Creed, whose practice typically involves raw physicality, pseudo-autistic repetition, and the slightest alterations to materials and spaces, says Work No. 850 is about exhibiting life lived fully, and the comfort of regularity. Skye Sherwin, deputy editor of ArtReview magazine, caught up with Creed on the opening day of the exhibition.
