Event Horizon, 31 figurative sculptures in iron and fibreglass
Event Horizon, the first US public art event by the artist. Thirty-one figurative sculptures, cast in iron and fibreglass will populate the sidewalks of the park and the rooftops of the Flatiron District. "Event Horizon" was originally created as part of Gormley's "Blind Light" exhibition at London's Hayward gallery in 2007, where the life-size figures inhabited the area and skyline of London's Southbank. Gormley has now in 2010 re-imagined the staging of the figures to compliment the New York City cityscape. The project is presented by the Madison Square Park Conservancy in partnership with the City of New York.
