Cristina Iglesias
Cristina Iglesias creates large-scale, architecturally inspired minimal sculptures that often juxtapose industrial materials such as concrete, iron or aluminum with delicately etched surfaces and materials such as glass, alabaster, and tapestry. She has stated about her works that they “are like thought, places from which one sees, spaces that fall between reality and image, between presence and representation, spaces that speak of other spaces.”
Cristina Iglesias was granted a Fulbright scholarship to study at Pratt Institute in 1988. In 1995 she was appointed Professor of Sculpture at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, Germany and in 1999 she won Spain's National Visual Arts Prize. She has represented Spain twice at the Venice Biennale, at the 42nd edition in 1986 and at the 45th edition in 1993, the Biennale of Sydney in 1990, the Taipei Biennial in 2003 and the SITE Santa Fe Biennial in 2006. She also represented her country at the world fairs held in Seville in 1992 and Hanover in 2000, and at the 1995 Carnegie International, Museum of Art Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. Notable exhibitions include CAPC Musée d´Art Contemporain, Bordeaux, Kunsthalle Bern, Bern, Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and The …
