Soon, New York’s skyline is going to start looking a little different. From March 26 through August 15, 2010, The Madison Square Park Conservancy will present Antony Gormley’s  Event Horizon, a landmark public art exhibition; 31 life-sized statues will be placed on rooftops and sidewalks.

“I want to play with the city and people’s perceptions,” said Gormley in a statement. “The gaze is the principle dynamic of the work; the idea of looking and finding, or looking and seeking, and in the process perhaps re-assessing your own position in the world. So in encountering these peripheral things, perhaps one becomes aware of one’s status of embedment.”
