Description
Contemporary Art: Joana Vasconcelos
The ancient crochet technique is beautifully represented here as a rebellious act of self-expression.
With the use of crochet and the compartmentalisation of forms, Vasconcelos reiterates the concept that individuals frequently behave and exist separately from their conscience, showing a lack of sufficient scrutiny of their perceptions. The paradox of lace is highlighted, as it served as a means for Portuguese women to address the emptiness in their lives, representing the sole form of expression in response to an entirely passive social situation.
“Lace decorates and protects, but protection is another manifestation of imprisonment. It's for the spectator to decide what the crochet means for him, whether it's showpiece or dungeon."—Joana Vasconcelos, in an interview published in Joana Vasconcelos: Versailles (LeYa, 2012)
These new artworks are based on the artist's sculptural ceramics placed on a rich, Baroque style background.
Presentation
Joana Vasconcelos was born in Paris in 1971. She lives and works in Lisbon. The artist has exhibited his works since the 90s. His participation in the 51st edition of the Venice Biennale in 2005 allowed him to make his work known internationally. Since then, she has collaborated regularly with the greatest institutions in the world: solo exhibition in 2012 at the Palace of Versailles, group exhibition at the Palais Grassi in 2011 and her first retrospective at the Museu Coleçao Berardo in Lisbon in 2010. The nature of the creative process by Joana Vasconcelos is based on the appropriation, decontextualization and subversion of pre-existing objects and everyday realities. His sculptures and installations, which reveal his keen sense of dimensions and his mastery of color, are emblematic of his reflection on questioning our everyday objects. The artist highlights the different current dichotomies creating a complicit but critical vision of contemporary society.
