So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • Jones, Alice “Sir Antony Gormley Interview: 'I Don't Have Any Choice
    ! Jones, Alice “Sir Antony Gormley interview: 'I don’t have any choice over this: it's what I was born to do'” The Independent, May 8, 2015. Sir Antony Gormley, 64, is lying on his back on the smooth concrete floor of his studio and is swinging his long legs from side to side. Paint-spattered trousers, red socks, hiking boots, all cutting a lanky, alarming swathe through the air. “I do about 60 of these,” he says. “It’s very good for the spine, I think.” He sits up, a bit puffed out, and starts to crunch his abs. “And then 50 of these – sit-ups – I have to, kind of, hold my feet down. I tuck them under the bed, or the radiator.” To be fair, I kind of asked for this display. The last time I interviewed Gormley, in 2010, for Horizon Field, in which he scattered 100 sculptures across the Austrian Alps, he told me that he had hired a personal trainer. He famously uses his own body to cast his figures and, having just turned 60, he had found his art was getting a little plump. So is he still training? ! ! An employee walks through Antony Gormley's installation, Breathing Room III, at his exhibition 'Test Sites' at the White Cube Gallery, London “I got rid of him. No, Julian was very nice, but now I do my morning routine in order to be able to face the day. A few stretches, a few press-ups, a few sit-ups. You know...” Is he, I wonder, as he picks himself up off the floor and lopes back to his chair, worried about ageing? “No.

Photograph: David Levene for the Guardian It started as a whim and ended up taking five years. Last Sunday morning a band of assorted folk set out on a walk across the base of Mohnenfluh in the Bregenzerwald. The 2,544m mountain is at the centre of a high dilution of sculpture, over a wide and varied field of alpine meadows that catch the slanting sunlight and seem to be made of a deep velvet; gypsum sinks that hide micro-climates of secret ferns where greedy flies suck the nectar from the heavy heads of cow parsley; bright streams that run from the ice-melt into shining falls that turn the grey schist black; deep forests of high-reaching pine; and among the craggy heights the occasional glimpse of ibex or wild sheep. It was a bright morning, the sky a deep blue, the air clear and completely still, given depth by the dull clonking of cow-bells on the udder-stretched alpage-grazers: subtly beige-shaded Braunvieh who with their big brown eyes occasionally left off their chomping to stare at us. High above are the peaks – occasionally shadowed by cloud but mostly sharply outlined against the infinite blue.

A twin to a controversial Christchurch statue has received an "overwhelmingly positive reaction" to its new home in the Arts Centre. The second part of Sir Antony Gormley's Stay, a work comprising twin humanoid cast-iron statues, was unveiled on Saturday. The first statue was installed in the Avon River last year. The new statue has been placed in an outdoor corridor at the neo-gothic Arts Centre, which has undergone major repairs after sustaining earthquake damage. http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/christchurch-life/art-and-stage/visual-art/84860935/new- gormley-sculpture-unveiled-in-christchurch It is identical to the sculpture installed in the Avon River last year. Its installation was delayed for about a year due to the repairs. Scape marketing and communications manager Carolyne Grant said there had been a constant stream of commentary over Gormley's first sculpture, but Saturday's unveiling to the public attracted an "overwhelmingly positive reaction". About 570 people were counted in the quad over a half hour period. http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/christchurch-life/art-and-stage/visual-art/84860935/new- gormley-sculpture-unveiled-in-christchurch "It was really important that the opening was to the public, so it wasn't a grand opening with senior officials . it was very much what we wanted it to be." Unlike its river-dwelling twin, visitors can walk up to the Arts Centre sculpture.

    ANTONY GORMLEY HORIZON FIELD HAMBURG APRIL 27 – SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 HALLE FÜR AKTUELLE KUNST British artist Antony Gormley has developed a spectacular new installation especially for the large Deichtorhalle: »Horizon Field Hamburg«, which will be on view during the documenta. Between April 27 and September 9, 2012, visitors will enter the north hall of the Deichtorhallen to be confronted by a space that is almost 4,000 sq. m. in size, nearly 19 meters high, and virtually empty. »It is critical that the experience of the space is utterly clear and that in there we see a void, clean building re- imagined as a kind of gymnasium for mind and body,« says Gormley. In this open space a vast, black, reflective structure will float nearly 7.5 metres above the floor, inviting adventure. The suspended, slightly oscillating platform exploits the structural potential and architectural context of the Deichtorhallen building, now over a century old, taking visitors into a new spatiotemporal matrix. The space below the work will be in shadow, sparsely illuminated by light that comes from the skylights far above. Here visitors can tarry and listen to the steps and voices of the invisible people above them. Every quality of the day or night, every sound and accident of light will become part of the work itself. »There is a double bind here. We have a real choice of how we wish to participate,« Gormley explains. »We can stay in an underworld or climb skywards. Both scenarios put the human subject into a dynamic position of jeopardy.« »Horizon Field Hamburg« will provoke an experience of re- orientation and re-connection with walking, feeling, hearing and seeing.
