Antony Gormley: GROUND

British artist Antony Gormley is world-renowned for his sculptures, installations and public works that explore the relationship between the human body and the space that surrounds us. The major retrospective exhibition “GROUND” at the Voorlinden Museum brings together works spanning Gormley‘s career, from his early lead sculptures in the 1980s to recent large-scale installations.

The exhibition includes “Passage”, a 12-metre-long steel work on display for the first time in the Netherlands. Inside the sculpture, one travels through darkness into the unknown. The expansive work “Breathing Room”, in which you can experience standing in a three-dimensional drawing in the space, will also be shown. Extending outside, “Critical Mass” puts sculpture in dialogue with the museum’s extensive grounds: 60 solid cast iron bodyforms will be placed in relation with the trees, lawns, canals and reedbeds of the park.
