Using unconventional casting and moulding techniques, June Crespo has developed a sculptural language that questions the attributes, narratives and genealogies associated with materials such as concrete, steel and bronze. In her recent work, references to the human body and the presence of architectural and botanical motifs reflect a precise mandate: to question the distinction between structural and ornamental elements.
Published to mark the exhibition They Saw Their House Become Fields at the Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in 2023, this publication offers an in-depth look at June Crespo’s artistic practice and unravels the particular spatial and material relationships at play in her work.
In addition to being a pictorial documentation of the exhibition, the publication contains other recent projects, graphic materials produced specifically for this book and a series of essays written by Aimar Arriola, Sylvia Lavin, Julia Spínola and Marc Navarro, curator of the exhibition.
