Gormley exhibits Breathing Room III (2010) in the lower gallery room, the third in this series of works which involve the viewer’s involvement in a shifting ground. The work is made from 15 inter-connecting photo-luminescent space frames; the total volume is equivalent to that of the internal gallery space. The installation encourages the viewer to participate with the work where time and light are the principle elements. Instead of engaging with a defined sculptural space the individual must pace themselves amidst intense bursts of light and total darkness.

On the ground floor are a series of sculptural works which further reveal the artist’s interest in the human body and how it engages with the constructed world. Made from massive blocks stacked on top on of one another and dispersed throughout the gallery space, these works refer to the tension of our everyday urban setting.
