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.
