Sir Antony Gormley’s cast-iron sculpture Another Time was installed on Fulsam Rock near the gallery in 2017. The solitary figure becomes visible three hours before low tide. It is part of a series of 100 cast-iron figures that explore the human experience and have been installed globally.
Admission to Turner is free. A one-off or regular donation will help support artists to realise exciting new exhibitions and inspire over 300,000 children, young people and adults each yearwith free access to art and creative activities.
The body forms are taken from seventeen distinct moulding times between 19th May and 10th July, 1995.
The works acknowledge their industrial method of production. Each of the seventeen individual moments has been cast five to six times and shows the manner of its making, with traces of cling film through to the ingates of the molten metal clearly visible on the rusting surface. The works are corpographs: indexical body impressions that freeze time.
The work is made from iron, a concentrated earth material found at the core of this planet, each sculpture massive: a solid body.
The work asks where the human being sits within the scheme of things. Each work is necessarily isolated, and is an attempt to bear witness to what it is like to be alive, alone in space and time.
‘The history of western sculpture has been concerned with movement. I wish to celebrate the still and silent nature of sculpture. The work is designed to be placed within the flow of lived time’
