Gormley has been and the cosmos. Gormley continually tries to identify the a Royal Academician since 2003. space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise. ‘Antony Gormley was born in London in 1950 into a Roman Catholic family, the youngest of seven children. His mother Gormley’s work has been widely exhibited throughout the was German and his father was Irish. He attended the UK and internationally. His permanent public works include Benedictine boarding school in Yorkshire, Ampleforth College, the ANGEL OF THE NORTH (Gateshead, England); ANOTHER which he regards as a formative experience.’ 1 PLACE (Crosby Beach, England); INSIDE AUSTRALIA (Lake Ballard, Western Australia), and EXPOSURE (Lelystad, the ‘I was brought up by monks and I think there is a part of me Netherlands).

(March, 2014) 3 Antony Gormley Education Resource STAY Antony Gormley, photo by Oak Taylor-Smith. Themes Within Gormley’s Work The Body Art and Spirituality ‘Since the early 1980s, Gormley has consistently made work ‘The challenge for contemporary art is to engage with the that focuses on the human body. He has described that contemporary world without adding to the noise. I would like the he works with the body as it is the fundamental space in work to make eloquent stillness and silence and to let us make which we all live and because there are so many possibilities contact with our whole selves so that we can take our place contained within it for how we can use and experience it. He within the persistent phenomena of light, space, and nature.’ generally uses his own body as his starting point and has explored this in many different ways. – from Journal of Contemporary Art, www.jca-online.com/gormley.html (1991) Throughout the 1980s Gormley worked with groupings of figures and, during the late 1980s, began exploring his interest in multiple, collaborative pieces, creating his firstFIELD in 1989. Over the years that followed, he became one of Britain’s best-known sculptors, creating both gallery-based works and a number of ambitious public projects which explore the body, relationships, consciousness and collectivity.’ 2 Gormley’s work explores the body as a place rather than an object. The human aspects of the form interest the artist: the person as an individual, as a social creature and as an object in relation to space and the natural world. 1 Fiona Godfrey, Field for the British Isles Education Information Pack. 2 Fiona Godfrey, Field for the British Isles Education Information Pack.

Gormley has always been interested in the relationship between art works and the places in which they are sited.

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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
