s the proposed *Briekman' going to he Britain's largest sculpture? The Holbeck Triangle Sculpture Project is the proposed building of a human figure 120 'feet 1high. made of a red brick common to 1.eeds. However. its sheer scale alone will make it a focus of regional and national interest. Anthony Cormley's *Wickman' was chosen in a competition in 1986 — its popularity with the public having influenced the judges' choice. The proposed site for this Northern ma.sterpicee is a piece of land known as the Ho'heck Triangle: a derelict rail locked island seen by all train travellers entering the city centre. There is a kind of naresssisti, fascination with an artist who uses his own body as a model — it is true that artists are often larger than life. but this is verging on the ridiculous. Will it stand up? What will it hr like to work in its shadow? The - Brick/nen' is not without its critics and has not yet been granted its final plan- ning, permission. The main argument against its construction has been the cost of ,C600,000 although there is little tax-payer contribution as the sponsors are British Rail, the Arts Council and interested businesses. Yorkshire councillor George %ludie has confessed himself a philistine on the construction of the 'Brickman' and is not kern to direct funds towards it when they could be diverted to other regional issues. The sculptor himself states of the figure :- "A human being made by collective endeavour: It reflects the materials and manufacture at the Heart of this island. I hope it will make a contribution to building the future." If the sculpture is finalised in 1990 then the visitors and attention it would bring could he the beginning of the revitalisation of such a deprived region as Holbeck. The Leeds Colossus. along with such Northern art developments as the Liverpool Tate could bring London's attentions back to the neglected splendours of the Cities of the North. Joanne Albin
