CRISTINA IGLESIAS AT CENTRO DE ARTE HORTENSIA HERRERO, VALENCIA, SPAIN.

“Transito Mineral” is a permanent installation situated at the convergence of the two buildings within the art center. As visitors traverse this corridor, they engage a series of mirrors which multiply its depth and in which they can see their image reflected, leading them to isolate ourselves and forget that they are right in the centre of the city.

“This piece presents a dreamlike world, very close to science fiction in its physical appearance, with elements that have a stony texture and appearances of organisms that you don’t quite recognise, and then all this world of reflections, of mirrors, places where you can’t enter and others where you can. I hope viewers will feel they are in another world, that this passage from one place to another will be a passage into a special, dreamlike world, and that it can remind you in turn of things you have seen in nature.”- Cristina Iglesias

Pozo IV (Variación III) installed at Albion Fields. 

Albion Fields is a sculpture park set within 50 acres of Oxfordshire countryside, parts of which have been rewilded – restored to their natural, uncultivated state. The grounds provide unique installation sites for artworks, spanning from open vistas to secluded woodland areas and positions beside a natural lake. Monumental and discreet artworks will be showcased in harmony with the flora and fauna, the diversity of which is as integral to the ecosystem as much as the experience. Roe deer, badgers, green woodpeckers, owls and hares have taken up residence since the land was taken out of agricultural use.

The first installation of artworks at Albion Fields will be on view from 9 July – 25 September 2021 after which the works will be rotated biannually. Albion will welcome visitors to stroll along landscaped pathways to vantage points around the site.

The shape of water – Icon Summer 200

Cristina Iglesias’s public realm installations are at once acutely place-sensitive and somehow unearthly. These vegetal formations – in bronze, steel or cement, and often in flowing water – are, the artist says, ‘fictions that bring nature to the constructed world’.

Last Friday was the premiere of “Architecture of Infinity “, a film by Christoph Schaub @schaubchristoph. The film talks about the magic of sacred spaces.

“Todo en mi obra tiene que ver con pensar espacios, que suelen ser ambiguos, y donde nada es lo que parece. Son lugares inventados que me sirven para reflexionar sobre la escultura y su relación con el espacio, sobre la ausencia y el deseo, la insatisfacción de no llegar a lo que quieres o la imposibilidad de verlo todo”.
