In Conversation: Antony Gormley with Simon Armitage: Bridging disciplines in public art

This special event brings together two of the UK’s most acclaimed artists to discuss themes that cross creative disciplines and that have featured in some of their recent collaborations: the integration of poetry and sculpture, form with metaphor, and how audiences experience and interact with physical objects and words.

Sir Antony Gormley is the recipient of numerous awards and his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space have been widely exhibited throughout the UK and internationally.

Simon Armitage CBE is the UK Poet Laureate and an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College; he is Professor of Poetry at the University of Leeds, and former Oxford Professor of Poetry. His numerous awards include the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry and an Ivor Novello.
