For his first major exhibition in France, British contemporary artist Antony Gormley is taking over the Musée Rodin and its sculpture garden. The silhouettes of the two masters confront each other : a dialogue between the two sculptors ensues, restoring the body to its rightful central place in the art of sculpture.
The major installation, CRITICAL MASS II, echoes Rodin’s Gates of Hell, where bodies confront each other, combine, merge, collide, and take on a thousand forms.
‘The reason that Rodin remains a key source of inspiration and renewal for sculpture is the way that he liberated it by combining ancient and modern methods and materials in an extraordinarily prescient way. Through open experimentation, the originator of modern sculpture took full advantage of the freedom to experiment.’ - Antony Gormley
