Antony Gormley Knihy

V publikaci Gravitační pole nevyslovitelného dochází k setkání dialogu jazyka poezie a výtvarného umění. Kniha je záznamem dialogu významného anglického sochaře Antonyho Gormleye a české autorky poezie Pavly Melkové, v němž se postupně vyjevovala příbuznost cíle hledaného a obou jazyků na cestě k němu. Linie slov básně i čáry kresby jsou stopy přibližování k tvaru podstaty - světa, našeho života, vztahů, situací. Jsou stopami jeho obkružování, tahy imaginace. Tahy slov poezie a tahy linií kreseb v této knize obkružují tentýž střed a odvíjí se od stejného horizontu. Křížení stop zpřesňuje obrys. V ponoření do tahů skrze vědomí se objevuje jeden společný jazyk. A v tom je smysl jejich setkání. Kniha vychází dvojjazyčně, tak aby byla plnohodnotným dialogem obou autorů a přístupná v obou jazykových prostředích. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.

Practiced by every culture throughout the history of the world, sculpture is a universal art form that’s deeply rooted in the human psyche and may even predate the advent of language. In this wide-ranging book, internationally renowned sculptor Antony Gormley and distinguished art critic Martin Gayford consider sculpture as an art form related to humanity’s potential for thought and feeling, as well as to our urge to build, make pictures, practice religion, and develop philosophical thought. They take into account materials and techniques and consider overarching themes, such as space, light, and darkness.Drawing on examples from around the globe—ranging from the standing stones at Stenness, Orkney, dating from around 3100 BCE, and the Terracotta Army in China to Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty and Richard Serra’s steel structures—Shaping the World explores sculpture as a form of physical thought capable of altering the way people feel.

Looking at Asian and Buddhist traditions as much as to Western sculptural history, this book explores author's thoughts on the body, time and space in relation to major works including European Field (1993) and 'Still Standing' (2011), and more.

Antony Gormley, a renowned English sculptor, is celebrated for iconic works such as the Angel of the North and Another Place. His public art often invites community interaction, exemplified by the One & Other project in 2009, where individuals were selected to occupy Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth for an hour, emphasizing the relationship between art and public participation. Gormley's sculptures explore themes of human presence and identity, making significant contributions to contemporary art.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Landmark Trust commissioned an installation from Antony Gormley. LAND was the result: this book records its places and explores their meanings. Author Jeanette Winterson and photographer Clare Richardson travelled to five Landmark sites in remote parts of the British Isles: Saddell Bay, Mull of Kintyre; South West Point, Lundy; Clavell Tower, Kimmeridge Bay; Martello Tower, Aldeburgh and Lengthsman's Cottage, Lowsonford to see Gormley's life-size cast iron sculptures. Winterson has written a meditation in response to the works and landscapes she has encountered. This celebratory text is accompanied by Richardson's photographs of the varied seascapes and waterways - and weather conditions - that the sculptures inhabit.

Tracing one of the last century's abiding motifs, this book looks at the many interpretations by artists of the idea of the void. Starting with Malevich, it follows the theme through abstraction of Pollock, Martin and Ryman to the Conceptualism of Andre, LeWitt and Flavin to contemporary artists such as Rachel Whiteread, Roni Horn and Hiroshi Sugimoto.
