Antony Gormley: Sculpted space, within and without
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2012
- Legendary sculptor Antony Gormley riffs on space and the human form. His works explore the interior space we feel within our own bodies -- and the exterior space we feel around us, knowing that we are just dots in space and time.

I'd like to make a call for civility here. This man is not trying to sell you anything. He's not trying to convince you that modern art is some amazing thing you should embrace. But what he does want you to do is see the world in terms of metaphor, in a way you haven't before.
Please, please watch this without any preconceived notions, and try to embrace what he's telling you. If it doesn't do anything for you, then that's fine. Just give it a chance, and be as kind as he is trying to be.
Dan P be patient with them- they know not what they’re talking about...
This guy is a brilliant artist. The images he creates are peaceful and wonderful. I love the smoke room. I love the bodies in the tide. He is an artist, not a speaker, so forgive him if he is less engaging. If you understand what he is saying, his expression is wonderful.
kunst abi lets gooooooooo
Perfect for my test tomorrow
Feel it. Good luck!
That guy needs his own radio, making us fall asleep with his wonderful stories
What a thoughtful human being - his installation at Crosby, Liverpool Uk has been visited and is loved by millions. Thank you sir.
It is clear, from the first 15 seconds, that he is talking about the self-creation of meaning/purpose. One of the most powerful existential dilemmas. Every real philosopher has to deal with that in their life.
This video certainly wasn't for everyone. I personally found it unique and interesting. I don't get to listen to a sculptor's insight on any other common channel.
I've been inside this instalation of smoke room, it was absolutelly fenomenal! :D
very amusing ... his talk (observation) takes us to our non physical realm and back to this 3D realm with a broader aspect & to appreciate for the materials in diversity here on Earth. ... what a trip, ... thank you !
This mans voice heals insomnia.
Thank you for this intelligent thoughtful reflective talk. ❤
Whatever he has been smoking, I want some too.
2:29 guy with glasses on the bottom row :)
Great Talk. Loved this video.
JUSTA AMAZING TALK....TNX ANTONY
Agreed. I well enjoyed the video, great talk.
had to wait until the end for the good stuff. interesting ideas.
this guy's voice is very soothing.
Could not agree more!
That was great. Especially the last segment with the vapor-filled glass room - very insightful, metaphysical. I love thinking.
Right up there with Vogon poetry
Excellent talk. I wonder how much of the same understandings many of the ancients possessed and how much this became apart of their art and architecture. At a time when there was nothing to distract one from exploring their own spaces and dreaming up ways to represent those visions in concrete form. Heavily inspiring sculptures presented here. Just great.
Learn to listen people, thanks for sharing :)
can I get a transcript of this
I know nay-sayers of this presentation prefer scientific or socioeconomic facts, but this presentation was wonderful. This was an inside look at a man's philosophy of art, and of existence itself.
Great great
Aw, girl........
There was a Chinese painter BaDa, born 1626, he has similar apprehension as Antony, he used painted objects to represents his "Space'. In his space he mixed "Land" , "Water" and "Air' together and even turn them up side down. His fish is flying in the sky and birds resting on land. Yet to most audience, its seems very natural to them. Haha.
The same thing was said to the Impressionists,in their days.
Today everybody considers them great artists, people are always afraid of "the new".
This is beautiful! Seems normal bla modern art sh!t in the beginning, but by the end he makes a strong point of how we approach.... approach watching TEDtalks. Or how people can't get there with their short attention spans.
lots of variables, ideas, feelings, angles......perspective
I can see it in your smile ♪
Jesus, Man! Get this guy some coffee!
I see lots of colors and geometric designs when I close my eyes.
May consider taking less acid
Space-time and me are not different. Rather, i created space time and thus am an intrinsic part of its totality. But I am more. I am from the beginning of causation. And as I interact with myself, I change. I am aware, of myself. And that changes everything.
Subscribed. They'll click on vids in their feed, out of sheer boredom, apparently.
Thank you for proving yourself the child.
how does he join the nails in his sculptures ?
Welding. Sorry for the late reply ;)
you could get the same effect as that last thing just by turning the lights off in the room. in fact, i think i should go to my local gallery and become an artist right now...
00:15
This guy is good...he gave me a mental trip without having to drink or take drugs...wierd stuff!
his voice is cool...
holy first, now time to watch
anto gromley is a bro
I loved the first half of this video, what he said, & his work (loved the Liverpool beach sculptures) ... but near the end, it was bleh.
Still, I like that TED brings in people with varying ideas & thoughts.
TL:DR. was falling asleep listening to that guy talk
Excellent comment FungusyHamt, very much agree (just wanted to say that, before it disappears into the cyberspace vault of YT comments). I also think that Gormley is in fact a fine artist. Others will disagree; that's fine too.
0:15
The eyebrow twitch? :)
I wish he didn't let Deepak Chopra write this presentation for his art.
GuruLearns
That's an amazing comment. I copied it for my future self to remember as wise, profound, deep words from a stranger I will never know.
Tsk. ...I think Edward's been messing with the lighting again. >:/
Chuck Norris talked about this in 1985.
Why is the body a dark place?
First, he talks to you. Second, he devours you.
It's fine that you have an opinion, you're allowed to have one. You're also allowed to press the dislike button if you want, my comment did not say that you couldn't. But the minute that you decide that it's your way or no way at all, that it's your toys and no one else can play with them, that you are unwilling to allow any other person to have their Design talks because you're displeased with them - it's then that you have become the child by your own selfishness.
So I assume the lesson here is don't force post-lunch rest time on your kids or they will become very awkward individuals.
Space... the final frontier.... these are the voyages of the starship, Enterprise, who's five year mission is to explore new worlds, and go where no one has gone before...
For me, art is not about objects of high monetary exchange" Antony Gormley
No.
Your comment though? Yes.
i made it to 12:47-- beat that
I made it trough the whole video. For school. Beat that man :)
Baaaau de mais
Hello.. is it me you're looking for ♪,♫
Mr. Bean-like elocution lol
Heaven forbid people should make art people want and like, for money, the very idea...
TED Technical Education ?
Trusted Educators ?
It's a blanket term?
Talented Etonian Dudes?
13:47 : he should try to play some fps games sometimes. And get some coffee or coke..
Wow, this made so much no sense
Abi 23
Ban demais
TL:DR body modern art
this guy obviously survives on government grants
At an undefined location there is a 21st century Buddha? Can you say wacko? Apparently he is not on public assistance, so that's a good thing.
I LOVE ART, but this is a case of Emperors Clothing, sorry, it happens you know
Where are this truly? Such experiential dilemmas must be redefined and rearticulated in the modern modem axis and driven thoroughly through a progressive transformation into a new systemic era. The origin of the area of the mind is that of a ever regenerating destruction of the ego in the subconscious instinct. maybe not though.
I dont hate it. I just don't get it. You cant get upset by some of the neg comments. Some are pretty humerous. Some would say that humor is art, so when you rant about a negative comment that expresses the persons opinion then i would say you could do a bit of reflecting on your own childishness.
Ironic, do you even know what Modern Art is? Gormley was just a kid when the era of Modern Art was in it's death rattle.
People hiding behind firewalls -- Another space. The concept is aching to be expanded upon in more concrete ways. It's often a very real and lonely confine to ponder, more so than any tight space imaginable. To your attention deficiency: I'm sorry about your invisibility. YT is revealing some, much like Anthony's last sculpture. Arms, in the form of adolescent quips, flailing behind walls of a box. Others sadly watch your arms slide across the glass. So, please do take care of your dignity.
Quite worthless, don't you think?
I hope all the kids in Africa dying from hunger have found the Sculpted space, within and without...
too long didn't read? there was nothing to read
OH and I love his work, just not this talk.
hmm...seems like you are a person who will enjoy hi tech not low tech...
The reason why there are crazy artists exist in this world because the world still allow a tiny bits of humanity in this world. We use too much machine...we need to let the low tech man made (without machine and by nature) to affect us. so we can make a harmony. dont u think?
I watched about five minutes but found it pretentious and uninteresting. However he's produced some decent sculptures, like the Angel of the North, which has become a landmark in the north-east of England.
nonsense sorry,, I like TED talks, just not this bla bla
I enjoy his work, but didn't like the talk. That idea of a series of skins (8:50), where the last skin is the horizon, is at least evocative and thought provoking, but the next sentence about art being about what's beyond the horizon? That is the most banal, non-sequitir, cliche... nothing to do with what he had just said, not saying anything at all!
And bringing up dark matter and particles with only the most superficial connection to their actual meaning... that's really pretentious.
more likes than dislikes?! Seriously people, this talk SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!
TOLD WHAT TO THINK
"I feel that in a time of attention deficit, where we’re all ruled by smartphones, we are in danger of being told what to think."
-Antony Gormley
If we were Muslims, being told what to think would be the natural order of things. Independent thinking would quickly destroy Islam.
"This is the Book about which there is no doubt."
-Qur'ān 2:2
"We hear and we obey."
-Qur'ān 2:285
"Do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you....A people before you...became disbelievers on account of them."
-Qur'ān 5:101-02
"Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error."
-Muhammad, at Abu Dawud 3:4590
"Yeh I do blindly follow Muhammed."
-Muhammed Nader
"[Muslims] can't help it if the Qur'an tells them to terrorize and kill the nonbelievers."
-Luigi Valentino (in context, evidently a Muslim)
"Why would we innovate things into our religion when it is already Perfected by God?"
-MastaaAce
In 1982's The Muslim Discovery of Europe, Bernard Lewis wrote of the Qur'ān that "all the answers were already there, and all that was needed was to follow and obey."
Similarly, in 1995's Why I Am Not a Muslim, Ibn Warraq wrote "There are no ethics in Islam. The Muslim is simply commanded to obey the inscrutable will of Allah."
And so, TheTrueMuslim100 once wrote that "muslims can check about things in which they have doubts in Islam....but the condition is that u have to keep faith in Islam becoz such thoughts will only destroy the faith."
And Voiceofreasoning wrote "Muslims are commanded to invent and seek knowledge but are forbidden by religion to innovate new things" and "True Muslims don't do things on their own, he always refer to the traditions."
헐.. BTS 알고리즘 타고 왔는데 엄청 심오하네
Could I make a job out of creating crap and hiring a modern artist to come up with some explanation for it?
hogwash. Art should inspire imagination, emotion and thought.. I get bored looking at this and think.. this a blatant attempt at being deep for the sake of money, wasted money that could be better utilized for a struggling artist with real passion.
So pretentious
You're taking things too seriously and making yourself out to be, well, a jerk.
