This screening will be introduced and followed by a conversation with the director.
A free spirited film revolving around Martin Creed’s childhood memories. A little boy growing up, seen through the eyes and hair of a young woman. A coming-of-age story told in episodes from conception through the very earliest moments of infanthood to high school, art education and first love. An interwoven story of clothes moves up the body from socks and shoes to trousers and hats. Along the way, various useful guidelines for different aspects of life are presented in the form of chapters on “The Trouser Problem” and “What Are Moustaches For?”. Based on a true story, memories were filmed in the places where they happened like the Lenzie Academy in Glasgow and Las Vegas.
Martin Creed (English, b.1968), was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, and raised in Glasgow. The artist studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1986 to 1990. He became disillusioned with painting, believing it be a limited means of expression, and stopped for a number of years, until 2005, when he debuted his highlighter pen drawings. Since then, he has produced numerous shows featuring paintings and provocative installation works. Creed is a sculptor and installation artist, known for incorporating everyday objects into his pieces. He has worked in a range of media, including painting, drawing, film, and music.
