Art - Martin Creed

I went to look at an exhibition at Spike Island which mainly had a series by Welsh artist Sean Edwards. But what caught my eye and my ire was this piece by Turner prize winner, Martin Creed.

This is entitled and is a piece of A4 paper crumpled into a ball. Creed says that he makes art works not as part of an academic exploration of 'conceptual' art, but rather from a wish to connect with people, 'wanting to communicate and wanting to say hello'. Well hello piece of paper. If you were mine, you would be heading to the bin, not being displayed in a glass case. Apparently, it came in its own box, surrounded by bubblewrap, in a case surrounded by packing paper in a crate. Ho hum! I don't react well to some modern art - and this is just ridiculous!
