I'm in London all day Friday, and was wondering what to do with myself. This has just shot to the top of the list, so thanks for the review... |
Gormley is a one trick pony. Although his body of work includes thing that are not his / a body, those items are not well known. I am of the opinion that he should stop putting names to his pieces and just call them "variation on a theme". |
Did you see the programme a couple of weeks ago on this? Fascinating stuff it was. |
A couple of weeks? Damn. My iPlayer only lets me go back seven days... |
The thing I found most disconcerting about being in the cloud was hearing other people talking to each other, but realising that you have no idea how far away the voice is. I think you lose all perception of scale - I really couldn't work out how far away the door or any walls would be. It really successfully focuses your mind onto your immediate area - your body and a little bit, instead of being a person in any context. bloody hell, i sound like one of those little cardboard cards next to a painting... |
The best response I though was from the young boy who said it's like being in heaven. |
Clever and thoroughly engaging variations on a theme (which was the point of the exhibition) - what's wrong with that? SH could as well complain that Van Dyck or Francis Bacon did portraits. |
