ReviewAugust 8, 2007From Gateshead's colossal Angel of the North to the controversial statues of Another Place dotting Crosby Beach, Antony Gormley has challenged the conventions of public art. Blind Light is the artist's first major retrospective in London, featuring 30 years of work plus newly commissioned installations. For Event Horizon, Gormley perched 31 self-modeled steel figures atop landmarks such as the National Theatre and the Shell Mex House. Positioned to face the gallery, these suicidal nudists subtly alter the capital's skyline. The title work is a glass room filled with dense mist that is disorienting and claustrophobic when entered, but when observed from the outside, forms a strangely beautiful box of flickering silhouettes. -LCD |
