Presentation of the catalogue, published by Skira, and produced on the occasion of the homonymous exhibition at Galleria Continua Beijing.

The meeting sees the extraordinary participation of Stephen Greenblatt, an American writer, historian, literary critic, lecturer at Harvard and Pulitzer Prize winner, author of one of the two essays accompanying the volume. Alongside him, Mario Cristiani, co-founder of Galleria Continua and president of the Arte Continua Association, introduces the exhibition and editorial project, retracing the salient moments of his more than twenty-year collaboration with the British artist.

The catalogue brings together contributions by Greenblatt and Hou Hanru—curator and art historian, former Artistic Director of MAXXI—and explores the key themes of Gormley’s practice: the relationship between body and space, the balance between human presence and the built environment, and the relationship between man and architecture in an increasingly vertical and urbanised context.
