Martin Creed & You: Twitter Reacts to Martin Creed
Posted
As 2012 comes to close, so too does Martin Creed’s yearlong residency at the MCA. A lot of our visitors chose to share their experiences of Martin Creed’s work on the web so we’ve selected some of our favorite responses to include here. Though we couldn’t include everything we loved, we tried to. Logically some works attracted more attention than others (say, the huge neon sign rotating on our plaza) so not all of Martin Creed’s pieces are represented. The following tweets are in roughly chronological order, beginning with the most recent. If you have a good photo you’d like to share with us, please leave a comment below, or let us know on Twitter or Instagram, @mcachicago.
This is the 3rd ball of paper I’ve seen @mcachicago today w/o reference on object labels. is someone playing a prank?

MCA is making me question life… And art. What is art? How does it relate to my life?
