Antony Gormley’s new White Cube show is a “labyrinth” tackling corporate expansion
For his latest exhibition Fit, Antony Gormley has configured the gallery into 15 spaces “in the form of a labyrinth”.
Visitors to the show at White Cube Bermonsey “will face a choice of passages” through the differently sized spaces, which have been divided up to create “a series of dramatic physiological encounters”.
The centrepiece of the show is Sleeping Field, a huge maze-like installation of 600 small iron sculptures, designed to appear en masse as an urban cityscape, but are in fact hundreds of individual “bodies at rest”. The artwork represents Gormley’s concerns with the rising skylines of London and the impact of urban corporate expansion.
Another work, Passage, is a 12m-long tunnel that takes the form of an extruded human profile, which visitors are invited to walk though. Run, also on show, is one continuous line of cast iron, delineating a 3D space.
Fit is at White Cube Bermondsey, London until 6 November.
