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 currently she is a professor at Bilbao University.
A selection of her solo exhibitions are: ‘Acts of Pulse’, P420 Gallery, Bologna (2022); ‘Am I an Object’, P////AKT, Amsterdam (2021); ‘HELMETS’, Artium Centro-Museo Vasco de Arte Contemporáneo, Vitoria-Gasteiz (2020); ‘Voy, sí’, Galería Heinrich Ehrhardt, Madrid (2020); ‘No Osso’, A Certain Lack of Coherence, Oporto (2019); ‘Foreign Bodies’, P420 Gallery, Bologna (2018); ‘Ser dos’, CarrerasMúgica, Bilbao (2017); ‘Chance Album nº1′, etHALL, Barcelona (2016); or ‘Kanala’, MARCO, Vigo (2016).
