In Conversation: Cristina Iglesias and James Lingwood

Join us for a conversation with artist Cristina Iglesias and curator James Lingwood, moderated by Professor Jo Applin, in celebration of the exhibition ‘Cristina Iglesias. The Shore’ at Hauser & Wirth London.

This fall will mark the first exhibition of Cristina Iglesias at Hauser & Wirth since joining the gallery’s roster. 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.

• 9.30 am: Exhibition private view
• 10 am: Talk begins
• 11 am: Talk ends

Tickets are free, however advance booking is essential and late arrivals will not be admitted. Please note that seats will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

The exhibition is on view through Saturday 20 December 2025.

About Cristina Iglesias

Over more than four decades, Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias has defined a unique sculptural vocabulary, creating immersive and experiential environments that reference and unite architecture, literature, psychology, mechanics, natural elements and site-specific content. 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.
