'Transmissions' explores the upsurge in performance-related practice that continues to suffuse the contemporary art world. A series of reportage films and collaborations on SHOWstudio during 2005-2007, created as a diary documenting each event live, 'Transmissions' captures a portrait of the scene though artist-created footage, short film, ephemera and live imagery

Martin Creed
A selection of new work from Martin Creed opened at the large east end space of Swiss gallery Hauser and Wirth this month. Creed is a recognisable name for the adding to the British media's age old consternation at how major British art institutions can support meaningless ordinariness such as rows of bricks and -this must surely be the Emperor’s New Clothes to cap them all- Creed's Turner Prize winning 'The Lights Going an and Off', an installation that did exactly that. In developing from this audacious, rather tongue in cheek minimalism Creed has chosen to make a number of discreet works, each conceived in rather a monumental way: a pile of cut wood, a giant girder, a very slow-motion, aestheticised film of sexual penetration, an incongruous painting of a smiling woman, and for the opening night only a literal 'slice' of an orchestra, which played with the light on and the lights off.
