Body Buildings opens at Galleria Continua, Beijing

Galleria Continua is pleased to present Body Buildings, Antony Gormley’s third solo exhibition at the 798 Art District in Beijing following Another Singularity (2009) and Host (2016). Body Buildings interrogates our species’ relationship to the built environment, an increasingly high-rise world we rarely escape. In a significant group of recent sculptures and drawings, Gormley uses clay and iron, two ubiquitous materials of the built world, ‘to think and feel the body in this condition’.
