Gormley’s sculpture unnerves students

The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (SCVA) in Norwich is aiming to become the east of England’s answer to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, installing three works by Antony Gormley and discussing possible loans with the estates of Elisabeth Frink, Anthony Caro and Eduardo Chillida. The arts centre currently has seven outdoor sculptures, including works by Henry Moore, John Hoskin and Liliane Lijn, set in the 350 acres of parkland it shares with the University of East Anglia (UEA). The project was launched on 22 April with Gormley’s 3x Another Time (2016), but the installation of sculptures from his ongoing series Another Time (1999-2013) has sparked criticism among students, who claim that the three life-sized cast-iron figures that have been placed around the UEA’s buildings—particularly one on the library roof—look like real people about to jump. The centre’s next sculpture is a 10m-tall model of Tatlin’s Tower by Jeremy Dixon, which was donated by the Royal Academy after it went on show in its courtyard in 2012. It is due to be unveiled in October.
