An exhibition of new work, including: Reach I (1996), Test I (1996), View I (1996), Concentrate I (1996), Compound I (1996) and Construct I (1996). This exhibition marked the first time that Gormley presented multiple cast iron works, a departure from the lead bodycases which dominated many of the past exhibitions. These solid iron casts show the intimate body taken directly from a mould that was mediated only through a thin layer of clingfilm. In the sequence of four empty rooms, these bodies were exhibited horizontally in various extended positions, floating just above the floor - belying their weight.
