PLATFORM 7: Tory Fair, Testing A World View (Again) September 7, 2011

n 1993, sculptor Antony Gormley presented an installation of his cast body in identical poses throughout a museum gallery, articulating the different relationships between the human figure (his own) and architectural space and between interior and exterior experiences. Fair reinterprets Gormley's seminal work with her own figure, in cast pink resin and covered with flowers. Her feminist re-articulation of Gormley's masculine work, sited for deCordova's outdoor terrace, poses the question of our bodies' strained relationship to spaces - indoors and outdoors, architectural and natural.
