Antony Gormley: Body Politic
Antony Gormley鈥檚 new exhibition 鈥楤ody Politic鈥� investigates our species鈥� relationship to its industrially made habitat. For Gormley, this comes at an urgent moment in time when our need for refuge is in dynamic tension with our need to roam: our fundamental migratory nature.
Across five new bodies of work, the artist sets out to test and question this flux between sanctuary and control, freedom and discipline. He does this by calling upon languages intrinsic to sculpture 鈥� silence, stillness, materiality 鈥� allowing the viewer to become more aware of their own freedoms of movement and mind. As Gormley has recently stated: 鈥楨ach part of this show is an attempt to assess and reflect on our present condition: us now.鈥�
