Anthony Gormley on the Southbank
London, UK - kathy archbold - Sunday, May 27th, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
These Anthony Gormley figures have been appearing on rooftops all over the Southbank, to coincide with the exhibition at the Hayward gallery. Apparently. some people have been calling emergency services to report suspected suicide attempts.
To me, they look more like sentries looking mournfully out across the Thames.
And I sure wish I'd seen how they got this building covered in grass....

Yeah. I was a fan of his work, until i watched a documentary about him. Now I just think he's a pretentious twat.

Luckily you don't have to like a person to like their work - or I'd have to probably dump half my music collection! Although I have mixed feelings about Mr Gormley myself, I think these figures work really well in this landscape.

This is a follow up work to statues placed on a little known beach in the North of England, I think the beach ones are better

its a great show, the figures have a real presence. I'd recommend a visit - 'Space Station' is quite different to these figures but is equally impressive
