Manish Vora commented: Mad. Sq. Art, part of Madison Square Park Conservancy, will present a landmark public exhibition of Antony Gormley’s artwork in New York City, on view March 26 through August 15, 2010. In Event Horizon, thirty-one life-size body forms of the artist cast in iron and fiberglass will inhabit the pathways and sidewalks of historic Madison Square Park as well as the rooftops of the architectural treasures that populate New York’s vibrant Flatiron District. A fascinating intervention into the urban environment, Event Horizon explores the relationship between the public, as it moves throughout the installation neighborhood, and the art object—the human form. Four figures will be placed at ground level, tangibly interrupting the course of daily life within Madison Square Park as the epicenter of the district-wide installation. Twenty-seven works will be placed on rooftops and on parapets around the Park, including such architecturally noteworthy buildings in the area as Daniel Burnham’s The Flatiron Building, Cass Gilbert’s New York Life Building, The Clock Tower Building (formerly the MetLife Building), and 200 Fifth Avenue (formerly known as The Toy Building). Event Horizon will mark Gormley’s United States public art debut; a milestone for an artist whose work has garnered worldwide acclaim over the past 25 years; as well as the first time Mad. Sq. Art has exhibited works outside of Madison Square Park.

Manish Vora commented: Great article in the globe: "Exhibit of modern Indian artists is small in scale, not vision: It’s a small show, featuring 16 paintings, displayed in a corridor abutting Indian antiquities, a setup that invites the viewer to make delicious correspondences over the centuries. The paintings are on loan from the collection of Payal and Rajiv Jahangir Chaudhri. The artists in “Bharat Ratna’’ are some of India’s best. Still, it’s an all-too- swift dash through a half-century of art." http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2010/01/10/exhibit_of_modern_indian_artists_is_small_in_scale_not_vision/
