Our art project

Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. His work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture since the 1960s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human beings stand in relation to nature and the cosmos.

Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise.

Antony Gormley was born in London in 1950, where he still lives and works today.

»It is difficult to imagine another project that combines artistic significance, touristic appeal, ecological sustainability and socio-political relevance with the same explosiveness and distinctiveness.«

»Horizon Field Vorarlberg brings people into contact with art and allows us to perceive it as an indispensable part of our lives. The return of this unique and fascinating silent show would be a great enrichment for Austria as an art country.«
Andrea Mayer
Cabinet Director, former State Secretary for Art and Culture
»The artistic value and global significance of Horizon Field contribute to the cultural and economic development of our region. This installation underlines the importance of Vorarlberg as the cultural center of the Lake Constance region and promotes the perception of our vacation region as a cultivated, high-quality and authentic recreational area.«
