  • BLIND-LIGHT-Sean-Kelly-Gallery
    Sean Kelly Gallery 528 West 29 Street 212 239 1181 New York, NY 10001 www.skny.com ANTONY GORMLEY Blind Light October 26 – December 1, 2007 Sean Kelly is delighted to announce a major exhibition of new work by Antony Gormley. The opening of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, October 25th from 6pm until 8pm. The artist will be present. The centerpiece of Gormley’s ambitious exhibition is a room-sized installation that occupies the main gallery entitled Blind Light . Blind Light is a luminous glass room filled with a dense cloud of mist. Upon entering the room-within-a-room, the visitor is disoriented by the visceral experience of the fully saturated air, in which visibility is limited to less than two feet. The very nature of one’s sense of one’s own body and its relationship in space to others is challenged. In Gormley’s words: Architecture is supposed to be the location of security and certainty about where you are. It is supposed to protect you from the weather, from darkness, from un - certainty. Blind Light undermines all of that. You enter this interior space that is the equivalent of being on top of a mountain, or at the bottom of the sea. It is very important for me that inside it you find the outside. Also you become the immersed figure in an endless ground, literally the subject of the work. Blind Light was included this summer in Gormley’s hugely acclaimed exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, to unprecedented public and critical approbation.

  • Guide to Liverpool Waterfront
    Guide to Liverpool Waterfront “Three Graces” – Together the Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building make up the Mersey’s ‘Three Graces’ and are at the architectural centre of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront. A massive engineering project has recently extended the canal in front of these three buildings, adding beautifully landscaped seating areas and viewpoints along the canal and the river. Museum of Liverpool – this brand new museum, opened in 2011 is a magnificent addition to Liverpool’s waterfront. Celebrating the origins and heritage of the city, it features collections from National Museums Liverpool that have never been seen before. Otterspool Promenade – The construction of Otterspool Promenade (1950) provided both a new amenity for Liverpool and an open space dividend from the disposal of Mersey Tunnel spoil and household waste; a project repeated three decades later to reclaim the future International Garden Festival site. A favourite with kite fliers this often overlooked wide open space is perfect for views of the river and picnics Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” - These spectacular sculptures by Antony Gormley are on Crosby beach, about 10 minutes out of Liverpool. Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body standing on the beach, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation. Mersey Ferry - There's no better way to experience Liverpool and Merseyside than from the deck of the world famous Mersey Ferry listening to the commentary.

  • Antony Gormley: Some of the Facts
    Antony Gormley: Some of the Facts Tate St Ives 16 June – 2 September 2001 Notes for Teachers As part of the ongoing development of resources for teachers we would like to encourage you to comment on how useful you have found this information and make any suggestions/additions to be incorporated during the exhibition and shared with other educationalists. E-mail [email protected] Call 01736 791114 Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive…. Making beautiful things for everyday use is a wonderful thing to do – making life flow more easily – but art confronts life, allowing it to stop and perhaps change direction – they are completely different. Antony Gormley Things already exist. Sculpture already exists. The job is to transform what exists in the outer world By uniting it with the world of sensation, imagination and faith. Action can be confused with life. Much of human life is hidden. Sculpture, in stillness, can transmit what may not be seen. My work is to make bodies into vessels that both contain and occupy space. Space exists outside the door and inside the head. My work is to make a human space in space. Each work is a place between form and formlessness, a time between origin and becoming. A house is the form of vulnerability, darkness is revealed by light. My work is to make a place, free from knowledge, free from history, free from nationality to be experience freely. In art there is no progress, only art. Art is always for the future.
