June Crespo: Sculpture as Connective Encounter Between Body and Immateriality
June Crespo, born in Pamplona in 1982, is a sculptor residing in Bilbao who holds both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a PhD from EHU-UPV. Her artistic exploration delves into the contemporary portrayal of the body, highlighting its tangible and intangible aspects. In February 2023, she launched "Vieron su casa hacerse campo" at the Centro de Arte 2 de Mayo in Madrid, following her exhibition "Acts of Pulse" in Bologna. Her recent solo shows include "entre alguien y algo" (2022), "Am I an Object" (2021), "Helmets" (2020), and "Voy, 'sí'" (2020). Crespo also contributed to group exhibitions, such as "The Milk of Dreams" at the 2022 Venice Biennale.
