Antony Gormley: SURVEY Solo exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Centre
The Nasher Sculpture Center presents the first major museum survey of Antony Gormley’s work in the United States. The exhibition, which spans the breadth of Gormley’s career from experimental work of the early 1980s to the present, in the words of the artist, ‘investigates what sculpture is and what it can do’. In addition to the work shown at the museum, the artist will debut a project installed on the rooftops of skyscrapers in and around Downtown Dallas.
The exhibition traces the development of his practice and his varied formal and material vocabularies through a focused selection of works that embody the myriad ways—physical and poetic—he has expressed the experience of the body in space and the space of the body. Gormley’s works will engage the light-filled architecture of the Nasher, inside and out, examining the relationship of sculpture to the space it inhabits.
