Two new ‘Extended Strapworks’, Here (2024) and Now (2024), break the body’s boundary and reach out towards the edges of the spaces they inhabit, recognising how a room’s orthogonality affects our internal perception of space.

FIX I, 2018 Carbon and casein on paper 38.6 x 27.6 cm (15.2 x 10.87 in)) (AG 1852) FIX I, 2018 Carbon and casein on paper Image 38.6 x 27.6 cm (15.2 x 10.87 in) Frame 49.5 x 39.5 cm (19.49 x 15.55 in) (AG 1852) [金额已省略] These ruminations on the nature of our species as urban animals are complemented by a series of recent drawings that render the domains of body-space and architecture as shared fields of perception – orientations from which we look out, towards light and the spatial expanse beyond. Drawing is a form of thinking. But it is also about the medium: using the intrinsic qualities of substances and liquids: a kind of oracular process that requires tuning in to the behaviour of substances as much as to the behaviour of the unconscious. — Antony Gormley

As South Korea’s most populous city – and one of the so-called ‘Four Asian Tigers’ alongside Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan – its dramatic transformation from post-war austerity to global industrial powerhouse is writ large in its vertical sprawl and dense infrastructures. Yet this condition reflects a broader global paradigm in which much of humanity now dwells – one in which the urban topography does not merely surround us, but imprints itself upon us, shaping the comportment of our bodies as well as the contours of our interior landscape. Within this shifting terrain, INEXTRICABLE proposes art as both a means of attuning us to the co-constitution of body and habitat, and a catalyst for deeper awareness of our changed nature.

Antony Gormley (b. 1950, London) 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’s work has been widely exhibited throughout the UK and internationally at venues including Museum SAN, Wonju, South Korea (2025); Houghton Hall, Norfolk (2024); Musée Rodin, Paris (2023); SCHAUWERK Sindelfingen, Sindelfingen (2021); Royal Academy of Arts, London (2019); Delos, Greece (2019); Uffizi Gallery, Florence (2019); Philadelphia Museum of Art (2019); Long Museum, Shanghai (2017); Forte di Belvedere, Florence (2015); Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern, Switzerland (2014); Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília (2012); Deichtorhallen, Hamburg (2012); The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg (2011); Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2010); Hayward Gallery, London (2007); Malmö Konsthall, Sweden (1993); and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark (1989). Permanent public works include the Angel of the North (Gateshead, UK); Another Place (Crosby Beach, UK); Inside Australia (Lake Ballard, Western Australia); Exposure (Lelystad, Netherlands); and Chord (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA).
