Qiao Space over at West Bund hosts British artist Martin Creed’s first ever China-side solo. Called Understanding, it features Creed’s signature neons, sculptures, videos, small-scale canvas paintings and site- specific wall paintings. Concerned with the commonplace, the artist incorporates everyday objects and activities into his work (think cardboard boxes, chairs, and the like), all with a minimalist approach and dash of humor. Music is a really important component of Creed’s work, illustrated here via video pieces, Border Control and Let Them In. Recommended.
