Antony Gormley: Time Horizon
Dates: Sunday 21 April — Thursday 31 October 2024

Antony Gormley and Magdalene Odundo will stage major solo presentations at Houghton Hall, Norfork, in 2024. Antony Gormley will present Time Horizon, with 100 life-size, cast iron bodies punctuating the grounds of Houghton Hall in Norfolk. In the Hall and Contemporary Gallery, Magdalene Odundo will present her first solo exhibition in the UK since her acclaimed 2019 survey at The Hepworth Wakefeld and the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts.

Time Horizon, one of Antony Gormley’s most spectacular large-scale installations, will be shown across Houghton Hall's house and grounds next spring, the first time the work has been staged in the UK since it was installed in Catanzaro, Italy, in 2006. Featuring 100 life-size bodies, the sculptures are all installed at the same datum level to create a single horizontal plane across over 200 acres of parkland. Some sculptures will be buried and others elevated on concrete columns. This installation, which Gormley describes as a form of acupuncture, interacts with the particularity of its surroundings: trees, house, running deer, other sculptures and the changing conditions of the weather, and it invites visitors to become part of a reflexive field.
