LONDON— A lively new conceptual performance-art piece created by artist Martin Creed for the Tate Britian Duveens Commission 2008 features runners sprinting through the museum's neo-Classical sculpture galleries, the New York Times reports. Creed, recipient of the Turner Prize in 2001, created Work No. 850 to "celebrate physicality and the human spirit," according to museum officials. Semiprofessional runners will sprint through the galleries every 30 seconds, for a salary of $19.95 per hour. The four-month-long performance is sponsored by Sotheby's
