  Martin Creed: Work No. 202: Half the air in a given space

  Gallery B108

  1 February – 1 April 2013

  Work No. 202: Half the Air in a Given Space exemplifies Turner-prize winning artist Martin Creed’s career-long investigation into how we physically experience everyday life. Creed produces his works, which now number over 1000 projects, by himself, with performers, or, in this case, through the active participation of visitors. In this installation the artist gives form to the air that surrounds us by precisely measuring and capturing half of it inside nearly twenty thousand black balloons. Creating an environment that is both playful and claustrophobic, he drastically alters our perception of space. Here, as in the majority of his production, Creed uses the art museum, a site of meaningful contemplation, to turn our experience of the ordinary into a work of art.

  Organized by the National Gallery of Canada.

  Access to the installation space is subject to certain conditions. Restrictions may apply.

  Don McCullin: A Retrospective

  Prints, Drawings and Photographs Galleries

  01 Feb 2013 - 14 Apr 2013

  This exhibition of 120 black and white photographs by British photojournalist Don McCullin traces the artist’s journey from working class England to the world’s most notorious conflict zones, including Cyprus, the Congo, Biafra, Vietnam, Lebanon and Ireland. McCullin is part of the tradition of humanist photography and war art associated with names such as Goya, Dix and Capa. His more recent work – lyrical, brooding landscapes of Somerset wetlands and Indian elephant festivals – invites quiet reflection. Organized by the National Gallery of Canada.

  Clash: Conflict and Its Consequences

  Contemporary Galleries

  01 Feb 2013 - 21 Apr 2013

  This exhibition draws upon works in the collection to present war and conflict as complex phenomena, ones that have far reaching consequences for both those directly engaged in it, and those at various points of remove. Central to this exhibition is photography’s relation to trauma and remembrance, at a personal, communal and national level, and issues of what constitutes history, for whom and why. Organized by the National Gallery of Canada
