Antony Gormley: Inextricable
Coinciding with Frieze Seoul 2025, Thaddaeus Ropac and White Cube present a two-part exhibition by Antony Gormley, marking the artist鈥檚 first solo presentation in the city.
Titled 鈥業nextricable鈥�, the exhibition responds to the reality that more than half of the global population now live within an urban matrix. It raises the question of whether art can serve a meaningful purpose in examining the freedoms and constraints shaped by the urban landscape and their impact on the body. As Gormley notes, 鈥榯he relationship between humanity and the city has become inextricable to the point where this world now builds us. The works in this exhibition are diagnostic instruments that help us examine this condition.鈥�
On view at White Cube are sculptures from Gormley鈥檚 ongoing 鈥楤lockworks鈥�, 鈥楤unker鈥� and 鈥楤eamer鈥� series, which transform the body through the syntax of the built world. Alongside this display, the works shown at Thaddaeus Ropac comprise sculptures from the artist鈥檚 鈥楨xtended Strapworks鈥�, 鈥楥ast Knotworks鈥� and 鈥極pen Blockwork鈥� series, interrogating our internal condition and its connection to architectural space.
