Ten years after taking over the Château de Versailles with her giant textile sculptures, the Portuguese artist is back in another historic location near Paris.
Her work taps into materials and techniques that were long confined to the domestic sphere, and she has exhibited both in leading museums, such as billionaire François Pinault’s Palazzo Grassi in Venice, andThe Extravaganza necklace designed by Joana Vasconcelos for the Minimasterpiece gallery in Paris.Recently, she returned to her roots with a show of sculptural necklaces at Esther de Beaucé’s Minimasterpiece gallery in Paris.
Her next project is her most ambitious yet: a permanent outdoor installation called “The Wedding Cake” on the grounds of Waddesdon Manor in England, the historic estate of the Rothschild family. “You can actually go inside of the wedding cake, go to the top of the wedding cake, and you become the figure on the top, so it’s a crazy project,” Vasconcelos says of the ceramic-tiled structure.
“One of the things we discovered through the years is that people, when they come and visit us, they are delighted by the studio itself. It’s not about me or my work personally, it’s about the studio as a family, as an entity, as a school, as a place of exchanging knowledge,” Vasconcelos says. “We are in the historical line of the big studios that always existed,” she explains. “Most of the studios of today, they are not visitable and they are very digitalized. They depend on computers, and we don’t. We depend on crafts, so we are different and more related to Rubens’ studio than we are to a contemporary studio, and that’s what makes us unique.”
