Joana Vasconcelos presents a solo exhibition at the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence entitled Between Heart and Sky, curated by director of Uffizi Galleries Eike Schmidt and art curator Demetrio Paparoni.
The Uffizi becomes a stage for the installations of Joana Vasconcelos, the Portuguese artist who, by blending myth, history and tradition through irony and irreverence, challenges convention and gender stereotypes. The Galleries welcome three spectacular works, which reinterpret tradition and are rooted in both popular culture and the Portuguese Baroque. While on a technical level, the artist utilises artisanal practices and appropriates objects related to domestic life, when it comes to design, she adopts an architectonic scale that requires an engineering approach.
