The Museo Picasso Málaga presents Joana Vasconcelos. Transfiguration, an exhibition that emphasizes transfiguration as the core of the artist’s work, referring to how Vasconcelos transforms and re-signifies different aspects of reality. It brings together a selection of pieces that together offer a survey of the artist’s career, spanning works dating from the late 1990s to recent creations, casting a new light on her artistic evolution.

Through sculptures and monumental installations Vasconcelos explores the relationship between Portuguese traditions and contemporary art, transforming everyday materials—textiles, ceramics and tiles—into pieces that celebrate cultural heritage and collective identity from a critical and transformative perspective.

Notable among the lending institutions are the Fondation Louis Vuitton París pour la Création, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León (MUSAC), the Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporáneo (MEIAC), the Berardo Collection, Colección de Arte de la Fundación EDP / Colección Pedro Cabrita Reis and works from the artist’s own studio.
