went a run in the car with the wife and found this......................
Standing 25.5m high and weighing 60 tonnes, it is one of Gormley's larger, more adventurous works.
Made of more than 5000 randomly orientated elements in a variety of angle-sections that connect in 547 nodes with the use of 14000 bolts. The work is a complex and unique combination of art and engineering.
The structure will stand in place in the steel fabricators yard for approx 2 weeks before it will be dismantled piece by piece and transported to its final destination in Lelystad in Holland where it will be re assembled by Had Fab.
Looks good, amazing what people call art these days
Does look good moke: i like stuff like that......better than looking at arty farty pictures.....although it looks like his sitting on the bog:tongue_smilie::laugh: ........rims are looking very shiny too mate:thumbup1:
I had two thoughts looking at this:
1. Why would they build a sculpture of a bloke having a dump?
2. Amazing what they can do with Meccano isn't it?
Seems pretty pointless but I guess a lot of art is - least this isn't a million quid for a couple of lines on canvas...
