Antony Gormley: Making Space
(2007, 48 minutes)
Director Beeban Kidron follows contemporary British
sculptor Antony Gormley as he prepares for a significant
exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London.
Gormley wrestles with the technical challenges of
three ambitious new works, and speaks thoughtfully
about his aims and process. Acknowledged for his reimagining
of the human body, Gormley is well known
for The Angel of the North, a huge steel sculpture that
looms over a highway in north east England, and his
unique project involving ordinary Britons standing on
the fourth plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square. Thursday, 7 pm. Free
