Public opening of Hondalea (Marine Abyss), at the Santa Clara Island Lighthouse in the Donostia-San Sebastián bay.

We are very happy to finally announce the public opening of Hondalea (Marine Abyss), the permanent piece that transforms the Santa Clara Island Lighthouse in the Donostia-San Sebastián bay. The piece is a place that represents the remoteness within the city, a meeting point for citizens to observe, think and reflect on nature and the importance of its conservation.

After 5 years of work with a great team (the foundry @alfaarte, the structural engineers of FHecor, hydraulic engineers of LKS @kreangroup ,architects,the City Council @donostia_udala ,Moyua, Giroa, Uxama and Inelcom) Hondalea is finally open to the public from June 5 to complete the total experience of the work.

Opening: Hondalea, Museo San Telmo, San Sebastián

Through preparatory drawings, new works on copper plates, a sculpture and a video that evokes the journey from the city to the island, the exhibition introduces some of the central ideas and creative process of “Hondalea”.

From June 3 to September 26, 2021.
For museum members, opening on June 2, 10: 00-17: 00
Tuesday to Sunday, 10: 00-20: 00.

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’.

“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”.
