He's on the roof, on top of towerblocks, over the river, lurking by a flagpole, haunting a walkway, ghosting up the horizon and just when you thought it was safe to go outside (having thoroughly exhausted (although not wasted) an hour waiting to go inside "hatch"), behind you!!!
I was having a rotten week at work so took a lightning wednesday break to see Gormley at the Hayward before it goes this weekend. There were queues, crowds and a lot more variety of work than I'd been led to expect on display -- although plenty of old favourites, too:
The most astonishing thing is that not one review has mentioned the deliciously tacky souvenir item available in the shop ... yes! I am now the proud owner of an Antony Gormley snowglobe! (official title: blind light cloud dome)
My highlight? Capacitor. I couldn't photograph it (they had an attendant checking no-one impaled themselves on the spines) but the Guardian did (there are some other pieces there, too). I also liked the sculpture on the bridge, though I did rather try Tim's patience repeatedly attempting to get just enough fill-flash to appropriately illuminate his cock. I think I did OK though:
Thank you antony, you are:

the mesh figures were unknown to me before the exhibition unlike most other stuff, and the most relevatory (you can tell I'm back from the pub) in terms of addressing body space.
we didn't bother with 'hatch' - we decided to miss what we wouldn't know - but did the misty bit last, which was so different to everything else it seemed to finalise it - yes, again about body/personal space, but so much more - I just stood in the middle, losing myself and letting the sound of others wash around me... also good to find Helen later and compare notes (and senses of direction).
Did you not find the room with the leg-splayed-gormely-figure the most explicit in terms of penii, though? I quite enjoyed the openness of the display, but then again perhaps I would... ;-)
The key holders are a standard bachelor toy, you've been able to buy them off websites and out of trendy shops for years.
On an unrelated topic, have you ever built a theramin?
Otherwise, - erm - not yet, I think may well be the answer... ;-)
(As an aside - I noticed it when I followed the flickr link - what do you think of the gorillapod?).
Also have you been scanned yet?
I got a second opinion at the clinic and have to go to for ultrasound :( unamused. I'll update again in another post.
Didn't think much to Hatch, especially after having queued for 45 mins or more. The Event Horizon statues were ACE though, and as Richard hadn't seen it yet when we got home we just had to watch that Doctor Who episode. Hee hee!
The snow globes were sold out, but I got a little Gormley man badge.
