The Hayward presents Blind Light, the first major London showing of the work of British sculptor Antony Gormley.

The exhibition features a series of brand new monumental works specially conceived for The Hayward’s distinctive spaces, including one of the largest ever urban public art commissions, Event Horizon, which features sculptural casts of the artist’s body on rooftops and public walkways across central London, dramatically transforming the city skyline.

These new works, including a spectacular series of suspended figures created in light-infused webs of steel, are shown alongside a selection of works from the last three decades.

A series of talks, events and guided exhibition tours complement Antony Gormley's exhibit. From the artist in discussion with author Will Self to family stop-motion film workshops to a guided tour with psychoanalyst Darian Leader, there are many ways to get deeper into the world of this great British sculptor this spring.
