June Crespo
Biography
June Crespo (Pamplona, 1982) lives and works in Bilbao.
Halfway between the surrealist object trouvé and the bricoleur logic that Lévi-Strauss describes, her work starts from an a ective- associative gesture about materials collected and extracted from the production and consumption system. The union or assembly of these creates new relationships that give rise to various forms of estrangement, appropriation and re-contextualization.
She has been artist in residence at De Ateliers, Amsterdam (2015-2017) and also a professor at Bilbao University.
A selection of her solo exhibitions are: ‘Vascular’, Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao (2024); ‘Their weft, the grass‘, 1646.
