Sculpture invasion

A cutting-edge installation featuring 287 sculptures is expected to fill up almost the whole space of the Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture in Moscow.
“Domain Field” is a work by renowned British sculptor Antony Gormley, made from stainless steel bars of different lengths.
Creation of the unconventional installation involved participation of volunteers from 2 to 85 years old.
It’s the first of Gormley’s two exhibitions scheduled to open in the Russian capital this year. The 59-year-old artist has been invited as a special guest of the Moscow Biennale.
In the last 25 years, Gormley has been re-interpreting the human image by means of sculpture in what he describes as “a radical investigation of the body as a place of memory and transformation.” His work has been exhibited worldwide, and will go on display in Moscow on July 17.
