About

Why this artist matters now

Juan Garaizabal creates monumental public sculptures that fuse carved form with light and sound, often installed in vacant historical sites across urban landscapes. His 'Urban Memories' series retrieves forgotten architectural fragments, reconstituting them as illuminated installations that reclaim overlooked city spaces. Beyond large-scale sculpture, Garaizabal works across drawing, video, engraving, and acoustic installation, each medium engaged with the recovery of material and spatial memory. His practice treats abandoned or transitional urban sites as sites for archaeological and poetic intervention.
