June Crespo (Pamplona, 1982) participates in the 11th edition of the Contour Biennale, “The Eyes of the Heart and the Soul of the World”, curated by Sofia Lemos, which takes place in Mechelen, Belgium, from September 5 to November 1, 2026.
The artist presents a new site-specific version of “Their weft, the grass” (2025) at Kunsthal Mechelen.
This collaboration stems from a studio visit with June Crespo as part of a research trip organized by Catapulta. During the visit, the artist shared her intention to embark on a new phase in her sculptural and material research, building on this installation. The work will be rethought and adapted specifically for Kunsthal Mechelen, occupying the ground-floor gallery and establishing a dialogue with the public space through its large window.
Founded in 2003, the Contour Biennale is an internationally recognized biennial dedicated to moving image and time-based media. The 11th edition explores the concept of “the imaginal” as a space of potentiality where perception, experience, and desire converge, and addresses processes of personal and planetary transformation through film, sound, sculpture, installation, and performance.
