Tracing the quiet unravelling of stone, the exhibition reflects on marble not as a cultural symbol of perpetuity, but as a mineral being, with its own slow, continuous metamorphosis.

Showing real cases of advanced marble decay in some of the most revered works of art and architecture, Cooked marble shifts the focus from solidity to suspension, reconsidering stone through a long process of continuous transformation where permanence reveals itself as a delicate process of disintegration.

Mireia c. Saladrigues is an artist and researcher, or rather, an artist-researcher. Her projects build on extensive inquiries while the particular research methodologies are based on her artistic practice. She indistinctively materialises with video, installation, sculpture, drawing, performance, and artist publications.  

Saladrigues is a candidate of the International Doctorate (DFA) of the Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Helsinki with Behaving Unconventionally in Gallery Settings. 

During 2025, she held the solo show From Sculpture to Cloud in Fondia and participated in the group show Summer Rain in Kunsthalle Helsinki. In 2024, Pengeraktu 7 Työhuone hosted her first solo show in Finland, titled Collapsed Waves into Particles of Dust. Among others, she was at the Royal Academy of Spain in Rome in 2022 to produce Crederrei, se fussi di sasso. Of this, Rai Radio 3 launched the audio-documentary La Martellata. The Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut hosted Saladrigues for a lecture performance that before was programmed by MNAC – National Museum of Art of Catalonia and Picasso Museum of Barcelona.
