Antony Gromley's "Another Place"

Antony Gromley's "Another Place" at Crosby Beach, Liverpool - An article from the BBC:

Another Place is a massive installation on Crosby Beach that consists of 100 cast-iron figures, moulded from the artist's own body in the style that has become synonymous with his work. The ghostly life-size figures are dotted along three kilometres of the Crosby shore, sparse in some areas and getting more congregated as they reach the sea front, so onlookers can catch the detail of those near and the shadow of sculptures in the distance out to sea in one eyeful.

The official line is that the work is a response to the individual and universal sentiments associated with immigration.

Gormley says: "Each person is making it again - for some it might be about human evolution, for others it will be about death and where we go, where our bodies finally belong, do they belong to the earth and the elements? And I think that's what's amazing about in a way the work of now - contemporary art, it's no longer representing the ideology of a dominant class it's actually an open space that people can make their own."
