Creed’s work is due to be on display inside the Harris from 27 January to 3 June and the Harris is the first museum outside of London to showcase the work.

A spokesman for the city council said: “As the Harris is a listed structure we will obviously be careful and need permission to install something like this.

“It’s very exciting we’re able to bring an artist like Martin’s work to the city.”
