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.

Hondalea is a permanent work created exclusively for the island of Santa Clara, accessible by boat from the port of San Sebastian, the artist's hometown. For Iglesias, the experience of the work is inseparable from the journey: “Since my childhood, the island has always been part of my imaginary world, signifying the distance from the city.” The sculpture, enclosed within the walls of the lighthouse building, is imperceptible from the outside. “As visitors travel to the island, the view remains unchanged. When they return to the city, they come back with a new memory of the place.” — Cristina Iglesias
