Antony Gormley

In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Antony Gormley (b. 1950) has developed the potential opened up by sculpture in the 1970s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human being stands in relation to nature and the cosmos. Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise. 'MEET' is based on an architectural language where the cube functions as the basic element. Dispersed tactically throughout the gallery spaces as a series of alternating singular and paired interventions, the sculptures invite circumnavigation and are catalysts for a choreography of movement. Exhibition: Galleri Andersson/Sandström, Stockholm, Sweden (21.8.-4.10.2014).
