Indepth Arts News: "Antony Gormley: First Exhibition in Spain" 2002-01-18 until 2002-03-31 Centro Galego de Arte Contemporanea Santiago, , ES Spain
This show will be a survey of his work from 1978 to the present, charting his
exploration of his own body as a starting point from which to explore the
relationships between bodies and the contexts which they inhabit. Gormleys
sculptures are above all, direct, and it is this directness which forms the basis
of their relationship with the viewer as he/she seeks to situate these forms, to
use his or her own body as a receiver.
In a sense, Gormleys work can be divided into those works which denote the
human figure, such as Critical Mass, his 1999 installation at the Royal
Academy in London, and those which connote the figure, such as Room (1980)
and Cord (1991). In these connotative works, it is the trace of the human
presence that dominates.
These works will be included in the exhibition at CGAC, together with pieces
from all the major series such as the Insiders,Quantum Cloud and Allotment.
