The London Gormley's
Earlier this month I blogged the FT's coverage of Antony Gormley's upcoming London installation. Well, the figures are up, and the Flickr crew has some pretty good coverage over at the well-run Gormley group.
Glenn Weiss at Aesthetic Grounds makes some interesting points about how the ability and interest of amateur photographers to create views of Gormley's work helps constitute its monumental character. An analysis of "photographability" is key to understanding the function of public art these days. He also sneaks in a reading that Gormley's works are "a psychological acceptance of depression, loneliness and suicide" in public space.
