Antony Gormley: ANOTHER TIME

Turner Contemporary and Folkestone Triennial have installed life-size Antony Gormley sculptures on the Kent coast.

Antony Gormley’s cast iron sculpture from his series ANOTHER TIME has been sited on the chalk bed in front of Turner Contemporary.

The site in Margate is part of Thanet’s stretch of coastal chalk which is the longest in the UK. On the chalk below the tide, colourful sponges, anemones and sea squirts abound, along with a variety of crab and fish species. At high tide, the sculpture is completely submerged beneath the sea. At low tide, it is visible from the balcony at Turner Contemporary where you can also see works by Phyllida Barlow, Michael Armitage and Jyll Bradley as part of their summer season, Every Day is a New Day.

As the sculpture in Margate becomes visible about 3 hours before low tide, so visitors are encouraged to check daily tide times.

Thanet coast, Margate, 19 August – 5 November

In Folkestone, a pair of Gormley’s cast iron, life-sized figures have been placed on the shoreline. These sculptures of national significance will be in place until 5 November 2017 as part of the 2017 Folkestone Triennial, one of the UK’s most ambitious art exhibitions that sees internationally recognised artists commissioned to create a collection of new artworks to be exhibited in Folkestone’s public spaces. The Triennial is the flagship project of the Creative Foundation, an independent visionary arts charity dedicated to enabling the regeneration of the seaside town through creative activity..
