Everything Is Going To Be Alright

Artwork: Martin Creed, Work No. 3435: EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, Braemar Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 2020

British artist Martin Creed first used the phrase “EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT” in 1999, featured in various LED colours it has since cropped up in spaces all round the world. The message draws on advice given to him by a friend, and Creed says about its meaning to him, “No one can say everything is going to be alright, but despite that, many times in my life I have been very comforted by people saying something like that to me.” This iteration is from Braemar Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, 2020.
