ANTONY GORMLEY PERMANENT INSTALLATION AT MARINA BAY SANDS, SINGAPORE
1 May 2010
Permanent Installation
Open from May 2010
Antony Gormley was one of five international artists commissioned to make new work for the Moshe Safdie-designed Marina Bay Sands complex in Singapore.
DRIFT, a 39.6 (length) x 14.6 (width) x 23.1 (height) meter bubble matrix is installed in the atrium of the Marina Bay Sands complex. The geometry of DRIFT is based on a complex polyhedral matrix generated from the packing of spheres around a body form.
DRIFT is a light weight structure that exists on the cusp between a drawing and a thing. Conceived of as a three dimensional drawing in space derived through generative evolution, it has adequate mass to be called an object but expresses enough of a field function to be thought of as a place.
