Antony Gormley: Vessel
Galleria Continua is pleased to present, for the first time in its San Gimignano gallery, the work of Antony Gormley, one of the greatest contemporary English sculptors.
Following the exhibition at GALLERIA CONTINUA / Beijing in 2009 and the solo show currently on view at GALLERIA CONTINUA / Le Moulin, Gormley is presenting VESSEL, which includes a major new work specifically conceived for the former theatre-cinema of San Gimignano. With this exhibition the artist is adding to a rich programme of special events in Italy and around the world: between April 2012 and January 2013, Gormley鈥檚 work will be presented in a group show at the Galleria dell鈥橝ccademia in Florence, and in solo shows at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg GmbH in Germany and in Brazil at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in S茫o Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and in Bras铆lia.
Gormley's explorations of body, space and time continue to test environment, form and feeling, often pitting one against the other. This exhibition interrogates the body through architecture, asserting it as both a model of spatial organisation and subject to gravitational force, articulating the tensions as well as convergences between the human animal and his or her habitat.
