Videography, Interviews, Documentation
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. 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 organization and subject to gravitational force, articulating the tensions as well as convergences between the human animal and his or her habitat.
