ARCHITECT RICHARD FEILDEN WAS INVITED BY CAPE FAREWELL Cape Farewell can mean:
  • Cape Farewell, New Zealand, northernmost point of the South Island.

 TO VISIT THE ARCTIC, WITH ARTISTS INCLUDING ANTONY GORMLEY
''
Antony Mark David Gormley OBE (born 30 August 1950) is an English sculptor. His best known works include the Angel of the North, a public sculpture in Gateshead commissioned in 1995 and erected in February 1998, and Another Place
, TO EXPLORE WAYS OF COMMUNICATING THE CONSEQUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. FOLLOWING RICHARD'S TRAGIC DEATH (AR FEBRUARY 2005), HIS PRACTICE PARTNER PETER CLEGG JOINED THE TRIP.

Cape Farewell is a series of expeditions into the Arctic, through a previously icebound ice·bound

 route. The journeys explore the very seas that hold the key to understanding the health of the world's ocean currents. It is hoped that by sailing to the heart of the debate and drawing together scientists, teachers and renowned artists, Cape Farewell will illustrate the workings of this crucial part of the planet and engage the public and schools in the debate about climate change. Peter Clegg and Antony Gormley went in March and their contribution, as described below by Antony Gormley, is called Three Made Places. Many of the artworks will be exhibited at the Natural History Museum in London in June 2006, and a television film of the three expeditions will be shown on BBC BBC

I would like to call the work Three Made Places: Block, Standing Room and Shelter. I see them as a development. Individually the block indicates a relationship between the individual body and planetary body mass; a substantial equivalent for one material body; the luminous void chamber is a vertical space that indicates consciousness; and the shelter establishes the necessity of a collective body. Together they constitute a continuum of places that the human needs to dwell in to abide in (a place); hence, to depend on.

: the physical space of the body, the imaginative space of conciseness, and the collective space of fellowship. The first is material measure, the second dedicated to the imagination and the third useful and used. These three places are all MADE and do not seek to describe the body but indicate its place, using the Euclidean geometry Euclidean geometry

Study of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids based on Euclid's axioms. Its importance lies less in its results than in the systematic method Euclid used to develop and present them.
