CRISTINA IGLESIAS

This autumn will mark the first exhibition of Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias at Hauser & Wirth since joining the gallery’s roster. Iglesias is known for her a unique sculptural vocabulary developed over four decades, creating immersive and experiential environments that reference and unite architecture, literature, psychology, mechanics, natural elements and site-specific content. Combining the conventional matter of sculpture—familiar materials such as glass, steel, bronze—with non-traditional materials like water and sound, Iglesias produces works as powerfully mystical as they are muscular. This exhibition features three new large-scale bronze works, each taking a unique porous, rock-like form with water trickling and flowing inside, their meteorite appearance symbolizing the collision of outer space and Earth. The use of flowing water adds a layer of organic movement and a connection to geological processes. Guided by a profound cultural and historical sensitivity, as well as a deep concern for the natural world, Iglesias’ works poetically redefine the viewer’s relationship to time and place. Coinciding with her London debut at Hauser & Wirth from 14 October – 20 December 2025, Iglesias will also have a solo exhibition at Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera in Barcelona, Spain from 9 October 2025 – 25 January 2026.
