| ANTONY GORMLEY: MAKING SPACE |
| United Kingdom/2007/Betacam/colour/48 min/english | |||||
 Filmed over several months, Making Space is an intimate portrait of British sculptor Antony Gormley (b. 1950) as he prepares three new works for a major exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London. It also shows how Gormley produces his art-from casting the moulds of his own body to collaborating with craftsmen and the eventual installation in the gallery. One of his most ambitious pieces, Blind Light, which Gormley describes as a "cloud in a box," presents huge challenges and shows the frustrations and eventual triumph of the artist's vision. Exploring both the premises of his sculptures and the ups and downs of the creative journey, the film gradually builds a picture of both the pressure and the compulsion that lie behind his work. Gormley has received several major public commissions, for which he has created some of the most monumental works of the last two decades, including An Angel of the North, which deploys its wings over the British countryside, Field and Quantum Cloud for the Millennium Dome in Greenwich. Gormley also creates smaller works, many of which are single-body forms modelled on his own body. Biography After taking photographs since early childhood, Beeban Kidron was "discovered" at age 13 by Magnum photographer Eve Arnold. She then turned to cinema, first as an editor, then as a director of telefilms, fictions and documentaries.
