Antony Gormley

The master of metal‘s most significant exhibition in over a decade  

In this breathtaking exhibition, the visitor is centre stage. Across thirteen rooms, sculptures and installations call for our physical and imaginative participation. In different ways, the works make us aware of our own bodies, the spaces we move through, and the in nite space of the mind.

The body appears in various modes: as a trace in early experimental sculptures; through action recorded in drawings; and as a form – cast in iron, stacked in steel, or present only as a void.

In several works, industrial and organic materials are used on an epic scale to create enveloping installations that energise and disrupt space.

For Gormley, the magic of sculpture is that it comes to life in the presence of people. Instead of including written information inside the galleries, the artist invites us to focus on the here and now and experience the works directly. He says: “I want to use sculpture to throw us back into the world, to provide this place where the magic, the subtlety, the extraordinary nature of our  first-hand experience is celebrated, enhanced, made more present.”
