CRISTINA IGLESIAS – MONOTYPES ON COPPER AND PAPER

Posted on 2023-05-01

Galerie Marian Goodman is pleased to present an exhibition of monotypes by Cristina Iglesias that uncovers the intricacies of her practice through the study of her sculptural works. The presentation includes a selection of works on copper and paper from the Cave Study (2022) and the Hondalea Study (2021) series, resulting from her 2021 Hondalea project. Hondalea is a unique sculptural intervention, located within an abandoned lighthouse, on a small Spanish island in the bay of Donostia / San Sebastián. The works show both real and envisioned views of Hondalea, which evoke the mysterious, cavernous nature of the thalassic world. At the opening on Thursday, April 6, Cristina Iglesias will sign the eponymous publication recently published by Hatje Cantz about this fascinating project.

Opposite – Cave Study VII, 2022

Exhibition runs through to May 13th, 2023

The exhibition opens with the impressive Golden Cage, a cage covered entirely with gold leaf that, with its over four square meters, occupies the entire room. Made of thin metal and large grids, the work opens up to multiple suggestions related to the idea of imprisonment and escape because, despite being made of gold, it is still a cage. An ambiguity of meaning given to the viewer who must decode the work according to his sensitivity.
On a museum scale, the work Retenue d’eau, suspended from the ceiling like an ancient chandelier, is composed of the cluster assembly of over two hundred small transparent bags filled with water tied to nylon threads. The work synthesizes many of the themes related to the artist’s sculpture made up of physical tensions, voids, solids and a poise of forces. A combination of everyday elements that take on monumental proportions recreating a glass effect but without using that material.
Accompanied by drawings and lithographic prints, the exhibition is enriched with chairs assembled in precarious balance, aluminum strips that with the use of magnets compose sculptures with sinuous lines and finally of burnt apples that leave the mark of their passage on the gallery walls.

TOM FRIEDMAN – THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT’S MADE OF

Posted on 2023-05-01

Thinking About What it is Made of brings together recent sculpture, drawing, and wall mounted works. The exhibition is figure focused, with many pieces engaging the idea of the human body in literal and conceptual ways. Created specifically for this presentation, Medium Huddle features eight figures gathered together in a posture of intimacy and discussion. Friedman often works in opposites—the original idea for the Huddle series came after the artist created his monumental Circle Dance, which features 10 people holding hands while moving in a wide, jubilant dance. Where Circle Dance imagines human figures as an open circle, Medium Huddle considers what the reverse might look like. Medium Huddle also reflects Friedman’s deft ability to manipulate scale—while this sculpture stands at three and a half feet, a larger-than-life size Huddle was commissioned by the Dallas Cowboys for their training facility in Frisco.
