Cristina Iglesias Unveils Major Commission at Madison Square Park, NYC

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Cristina Iglesias will unearth the forgotten terrains and geographic history of Madison Square Park in Landscape and Memory, a newly-commissioned public art installation and her first major temporary public art project in the United States. Landscape and Memory will place five bronze sculptural pools, each with intricately patterned bas reliefs that feature water gently flowing and arriving in different sequences, into the park’s Oval Lawn. These sculptural works harken back to when the Cedar Creek—now buried underground—coursed across the land where the park stands today. Building on Iglesias’ practice of unearthing the forgotten and excavating natural history, Landscape and Memory resurfaces in the imaginations of contemporary viewers the now-invisible force of this ancient waterway. The installation will be on view from 1 June through 4 December 2022.

This new commission will be launched with a symposium, Unearthing Public Art, at the SVA Theatre in #newyork on 3 June 2022. Informed by the themes in Iglesias’ work, this symposium will be a multidisciplinary forum for participants to exchange their ideas on working in the public the realm.
