Antony Gormley Opens 'Drawing on Space' at Museum SAN Cheongjo Gallery, Wonju
The Facts
On June 20, 2026, Antony Gormley opened his solo exhibition "Drawing on Space" at the Cheongjo Gallery of Museum SAN in Wonju, Gangwon Province, South Korea. The exhibition runs through November 30, 2026, and features 49 works across sculpture, installation, drawing, and print media, including key pieces such as "Liminal Field" and "Orbit Field II." Gormley stated that the core of the exhibition lies in "bringing together physical and imagined space," aiming to prompt viewers to perceive space anew through their own bodies and senses. The show begins in Gallery 1, where visitors are invited to reflect on the relationship between their body and space, experiencing what the artist describes as "moments of being" within the physical environment.
The Signal
The exhibition marks Gormley's first major institutional solo show in South Korea since his 2015 presentation at the same museum, reinforcing Museum SAN's commitment to staging large-scale international contemporary art in a rural setting. For collectors and curators, the show offers a rare opportunity to see Gormley's practice across multiple media in a single venue, with the artist's emphasis on embodied perception aligning with broader trends in experiential and participatory installation art. The inclusion of both iconic and lesser-known works positions the exhibition as a significant survey of Gormley's ongoing investigation into the human condition and spatial awareness.
