"Another Place" is a major installation, commissioned by Liverpool Biennial, comprised of 100 cast-iron sculptures made from 17 different moulds taken from the sculptor’s own body, installed on Crosby Beach on the Mersey Estuary, all facing the open sea. The work covers a distance of almost 3km, with the pieces placed 250m apart along the tide line, and up to 1km out towards the horizon. The movement of local tides and daily weather conditions dictate whether the figures are visible or submerged. It is one of the most well-loved and widely recognized public art works in the UKAntony Gormley (b. 1950) is widely acclaimed for his large scale sculptures, installations and public artworks.  His work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture since the 1960s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that addresses the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise.  Gormley was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994 and is best known for works including Angel of the North (1998), a monumental public sculpture in Gateshead in the North of England, and Event Horizon, a multi-part site installation which travelled from London (2007) to New York (2010), Sao Paulo (2012) and Hong Kong (2015).
