Cristina Iglesias Exhibition at La Pedrera, the first monographic exhibition in Barcelona of the work of one of the most important artists in contemporary sculpture. Until 25 January 2026.
About the exhibition
La Pedrera presents Cristina Iglesias. Passages, the first solo show in Barcelona of one of the leading artists in contemporary sculpture. The exhibition in La Pedrera includes some forty works dating from 2002 to the present day and traces a dynamic path that unfolds as a sequence of movements through the fluid spaces of Gaudí’s architecture and the open and closed spaces of Iglesias’s work.

Many of her pieces require the visitor to immerse themselves in them and to pass between the labyrinthine forms of her installations in order to perceive their sculptural mass and grasp their surfaces and changing perspectives. Come and explore her original imaginary of art and life.
EXHIBITION
The selection of works in this exhibition has been made with their placement on La Pedrera’s main floor in mind, so that each piece creates a special and sensitive connection with Gaudí’s architecture. A unique experience for appreciating Cristina Iglesias’s work and gaining a deeper understanding of her artistic vision.
WATER
Water, a central element in Cristina Iglesias’s work, becomes a sculptural material in motion. In this exhibition, wells and aquatic installations generate sounds, lights and rhythms that evoke the passage of time. The water flows through reliefs and cavities, creating a sensory landscape that invites contemplation and calm.

GROWTH
Growth, a recurring theme in Cristina Iglesias’s work, is an organic and unstoppable force. Her cast aluminium sculptures seem to emerge from the ground like dense vegetation that takes over the space. The exhibition presents works from Entwined and Growth I, hybrid forms that evoke a free and vital sense of movement.
PASSAGES
The exhibition invites visitors to walk through corridors that the artist imagines as spaces of passage and discovery. Her works, inspired by vegetal and mineral forms, engage in a deep dialogue with Gaudí’s architecture. As visitors move through them, they shape their own perception and reinterpret both the artwork and the space.
