Antony Gormley says he hopes his “iron men” on a Merseyside beach will still exist in at least 1,000 years as “industrial fossils”, after helping to excavate 10 that had been subsumed by Irish Sea mud. One hundred cast-iron statues modelled on Gormley were installed in 2005 at Crosby beach, spread across 3km of the foreshore and stretching almost 1km out to sea. The installation, Another Place, was only supposed to last 16 months in Crosby, and the men were almost sent packing early amid safety complaints, including cases of the coastguard being called out to “rescue” them. Sixteen years on, the artwork has become a tourist attraction and a beloved local institution. Read the full story here. fonte: The Guardian |
