Summary

[edit]
Description

Avenue du Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, ouest

"Building IV, est emblématique des principaux champs de tension qui irriguent l’œuvre d’Antony Gormley. Sa force naît de l’oscillation entre une forme qui évoque ces corps futuristes décomposés sur ordinateur, et une pose qui rappelle cette grande tradition sculpturale de la forme en éveil. En effet, dans cette figure d’un homme s’éveillant à sa condition d’homme, les genoux encore en flexion, le visage tourné vers le haut, Gormley se réclame d’une tradition qui court des esclaves du tombeau de Jules II de Michel-Ange au jeune homme de l’Âge de bronze de Rodin. Tradition que l’on retrouve chez un autre grand artiste d’aujourd’hui, dont l’œuvre est également informée par l’histoire de l’art, Bill Viola, qui dans The Crossing montre la naissance d’un homme hors de l’eau.

Cet homme numérique s’élevant vers sa condition d’humain, ce corps métallique disloqué en une multitude de blocs (ou de pixels) semble vouloir finalement renvoyer au spectateur sa propre image, le réfléchir. Comme l’a écrit Gormley :  » My proposition is that we are part of a world constructed from the earth, in which everything is interchangeable. My hope is that the old formula of a ‘subject who looks’ at an object which is ‘looked at’ can be transmuted into us looking at ourselves. The place of my body is offered as yours and the space and actions of your body are reflected in the works, what they are made of and how they are made. Nothing is revealed that is not already there – including you.  » (extrait du catalogue de l’exposition Still Moving : Works 1975-1996, à Tokyo, in Antony Gormley, Phaidon, p.152)."
