London-based artist Antony Gormley describes his artwork as an 'antenna in human form', whose positioning transforms the somewhat square nature of the building into a place for imaginative experimentation and creation.

In the spring of 2006, the then School of Dance, following the artist's instructions, organised a party. Students and teachers who wanted to be a model for the artwork were invited to write their name on a note and put the note in a hat. Maria Ulriksson, then a second-year student in the Dance Pedagogy programme, won the draw. In May, she travelled to Gormley's studio in north-east London where her body was wrapped in cling film and covered from head to toe with a layer of plaster. Once the plaster solidified, she was carefully cut out of her negative mould and used to build the sculpture.

In contrast to Gormley's solid and dense casts of himself, this sculpture lacks a well-defined surface. Instead, it is made up of thin steel rods that are joined together to create a skinless, sprawling structure in human form. Like an image of a person's soul or energy field, separated from their body. The metal rods sensitively reflect the environment, vibrating irregularly at the slightest gust of wind.

The artist has referred to the artwork as "a constant presence" that measures the changes in the environment, through changing seasons and at different times of the day.

The Street, 2004
Animation 6:24 minutes

The Street portrays life along a street for 24 hours. The residents here have lost all individual characteristics and are instead represented by the symbols of humans that are used everywhere in urban environments (to tell us what we should, may and may not do). Normative obedience characterises these people who give birth in hospitals, eat at the table, work out at the gym, poop in the toilet, flirt at the disco and make babies in bed. There is also an average number of marginalised people moving along The Street. A homeless man begs for money every day and a sex worker waits for johns on a street corner. Together, the people along the street form a frightening yet comical microcosm, a social machine governed by convention.
