The exhibition, curated by Gloria Moure<\/strong>, presents a series of nineteen works<\/span> tracing the recent production of <\/strong><\/span>Cristina Iglesias<\/strong> (San Sebasti\u00e1n, 1956), one of the most original voices in international contemporary sculpture, and the artist\u2019s first solo show in Italy at the Foundation.<\/span> The exhibition \u2013 featuring works from the artist\u2019s collection as well as public and private collections such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda in Madrid, the Fundacion la Caixa in Barcelona, and the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York \u2013 is structured like a vast labyrinth, inviting the viewer to embark on a journey through Iglesias\u2019 sculptures and spaces, provoking reflection on the sculptural conception of artists of her generation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The themes addressed by the artist<\/em> \u2013 states Angela Vettese<\/strong>, Director of the Foundation \u2013 are manifold and overlapping. Among these are the role of nature in our lives; nature\u2019s capacity to still inspire reflection among artists; the use of techniques and materials that blend the ancient tradition of molding and casting with materials such as resin, braided steel cable, exposed concrete, glass, and alabaster. Central is the idea of Arcadia as a mythical meeting place, never fully attainable, between man and nature, and thus between the natural and the artificial. The spaces conceived by Cristina Iglesias lie entirely within these two poles: nature is evoked through patterns of old wallpapers or, more often, through the reconstruction of vegetal patterns, mixtures of various essences, whose casts become the basis for an entire corridor<\/em>.<\/p>\n
