Melbourne-based [Anna Schwartz Gallery](http://www.annaschwartzgallery.com/?ref=killscreen.com) is featuring the art of British sculptor [Antony Gormley](http://www.antonygormley.com/?ref=killscreen.com). The works reminds us a lot of our recent fave *Sword & Sworcery: EP* which also features angular models in contorted positions. For the gallery site on the show titled “Memes”:

> “A Meme is a cultural analogue to a gene. Forms that are transmitted in thought or behaviour from one body to another, responding to conditional environments, self-replicating and capable of mutation.  
>  
> The miniature or the model allows the totality of a body to be seen at once. These small solid iron works use the formal language of architecture to replace anatomy and construct volumes to articulate a range of 32 body postures. The ambition is to make intelligible forms that form an abstract lexicon of body-posture but which nevertheless carry the invitation of empathy and the transmission of states of mind.
