Asian Field (Antony Gormley)

Everybody goes "WOW!" Everybody between the ages of 3 and 81 and over. That's Antony Gormley's fabulous exhibition Asian Field. Gormley (1950-) is from London and his ongoing project is an adventure in collective collaboration. He brings in people, this time from some villages in China, to make terra-cotta statuettes of no more than 6 inches tall----and more than 200,000 of them! His show in Tokyo is now taking place in a high-school gym near Roppongi. The floor is flooded with these cray people, all looking at you with their hollow eyes. Humorous, breathtaking, laughable, and infinitely moving. Definitely one of the best art exhibitions of my life! When you see it, you'd feel like thanking Antony for bringing this vision into its materialization. Wow. This should go on in other places, with other people, toward other audiences of the silent cry of joy!
