Drie citaten van Antony Gormley. Voor Gormley als kunstenaar groot werd heeft hij zich heeft verdiept in het boeddhisme:

The art of our time is absolutely and fundamentally different then anything that went on before. It’s not about the known, it’s about the unknown. It’s not about reinforcing all of those things that give comfort and certainty. It’s about identifying the things that make us uncomfortable, uncertain.
It’s about, I think, trying to find a space, in a very visually overburdened world, in which the subject can find him or herself.

The condition of sculpture is that it’s still, silent, mute and has no meaning.
It’s just a thing. It’s completely useless. It’s an object in its own space
And it weights for al the things that it doesn’t have;
Consiousness, feeling and freedom. And that’s what you have got.

Places for reflection, it’s the most important experience, I mean the most important thing.
A place within life, that is in a way removed from life, from which we can look out, but also look in.
