The planning of the trip to the Czech republic had come about not long after I had the privilege of a guided tour of Gormleys show in White Cube Bermondsey, (see separate blog) and the concept of the body as space was still figuring large in my imagination, I started to ruminate on what could happen if I tied these two concepts together…
