AUSTRALIAN ART West Australiana
Record of British artist’ Gormley’s sculpture installation at Lake Ballard in remote Western Australia. 176 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 25 cm. #0220R/090723/221024 Hardcover First Edition
“Early one December morning, under the searing heat of the southern sun, British sculptor Antony Gormley stepped onto the surface of a vast, million-year-old salt lake in one of the remotest parts of Australia. He was there to install a remarkable art work that would stretch over ten square kilometres and consist of more than fifty sculptures. It was the final act in an exhausting six-month process that had seen him take naked body scans of the residents of a nearby town and produce ‘insiders’ – alien-like sculptures of the inside of each person – which he was about to place across the flat salt-encrusted expanse of Lake Ballard, Western Australia.” “Inside Australia tells the whole story of the work’s creation, from Gormley’s receiving the permission of local Aboriginal elders and his persuading the people of Menzies to take part, to the hazardous casting and back-breaking installation of the sculptures. Photographs, maps and drawings show the entire process in detail, while commentaries from members of the project team explain its different stages.”
