Antony Gormley: Meet
Galleri Andersson/Sandstr枚m Stockholm is proud to open our fall season 2014 with one of its most extensive exhibitions to date - a solo exhibition by one of today's most influential sculptors, the British artist Antony Gormley. Entitled MEET, the exhibition turns the gallery鈥檚 architecture into a psychic and physiological testing ground. Gormley will present twelve new, previously unseen works that all explore the relationship between the human body and the space surrounding it.
In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Antony Gormley (b. 1950) has developed the potential opened up by sculpture in the 1970s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human being stands in relation to nature and the cosmos. Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise.
MEET is based on an architectural language where the cube functions as the basic element. Dispersed tactically throughout the gallery spaces as a series of alternating singular and paired interventions, the sculptures invite circumnavigation and are catalysts for a choreography of movement.
