ANTONY GORMLEY: BLIND LIGHT
17 May – 19 August 2007

Walk inside a cloud at The Hayward this summer. Experience a series of newly commissioned,
dramatic installations by Antony Gormley, one of the most celebrated artists working in
the UK today.

Taking the body as its point of departure, the exhibition is an invitation to embark on a journey
through different kinds of space. New works include Blind Light, lose yourself in light and
vapour in this cloud-filled glass room that is cold, wet and disorientating; a spectacular series
of suspended figures in light-infused webs of steel; and a colossal 27-ton structure,
Space Station, that tilts precariously, dominating the gallery space.The exhibition extends
beyond the confines of the gallery with Event Horizon, an ambitious urban artwork featuring
around 30 sculptural casts of. the artist’s body on rooftops and public always across central
London, subtly punctuating the city skyline. Spanning outwards from The Hayward,
all the figures face towards the gallery’s three sculpture terraces, which form the main viewing
platforms for the project as a whole.The exhibition is accompanied by earlier sculptures, prints,
drawings and photographs.

A film, books and other resources to accompany the exhibition are available in the foyer.
