Antony Gormley brings to the Bregenz Kunsthaus until 4
October his new work Clearing V: up to 12
kilometers of raw metal
rod that arc from floor to ceiling and wall to wall, creating
a three-dimensional drawing in space. The installation acts
as a vector field, encouraging the viewer to move through
its structure, and in so doing disrupts the authority of a
single-point perspective, necessitating instead a constant
renegotiation of the visual field: “I was trying to destroy
the fixed co-ordinates of a room and make a space/time
continuum (a line without end) that was both a thing and a
drawing,” says Gormley.
