Talk:Another Place

[edit] Safety?

This is an interesting article. I would expect that swimmers would occasionally injure themselves when the heads of the figures are just below water. Or is swimming not allowed around the work? --Allen 19:20, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I imagine the statues are no more dangerous than ordinary rocks, and you'd probably be able to see them before you swam into them. The problem I'd expect is for them to be mistaken for real people. PeteVerdon 21:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Crosby beach is a non-bathing beach. But you may also have a look at the bottom lines on this, and the general information on that image ;-) Cuxhaven in fact is a bathing place, but the statues presumably were only submerged occasionaly on spring tide because of the shallow Wadden Sea ... don't no anything about the NY place. --Ü 12:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC) 

[edit] Unattributed sentence

I've removed this unattributed, POV-ish sentence from the bottom of the article: Another place represents an identity not only for people of Liverpool, Crosby and beyond but for the whole existence of public art and having these figures in my home town is in it's own way similar to Gateshead (Angel of the North) in giving the area a sense of identity again. Anthony Gormley understands the power and heritage Liverpool has and how its people feel passion about its history and its future. If you think it should be there, put it back, but with reference to its origin.--Bwmodular 08:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
