Joana Vasconcelos' 'Transfiguración' Exhibition at Museo Picasso Málaga in 2026

From May 29 to September 27, 2026, the Museo Picasso Málaga will present 'Joana Vasconcelos. Transfiguración,' a major exhibition curated by the museum's artistic director Miguel López-Remiro. The show explores transformation as a central theme in Vasconcelos' practice, examining how she reinterprets reality through monumental sculptures and installations. Works spanning from the late 1990s to recent creations will trace her artistic evolution, offering fresh perspectives on her career. Vasconcelos investigates connections between Portuguese traditions and contemporary art, transforming everyday materials like textiles, ceramics, and tiles into pieces that critically celebrate cultural heritage and collective identity. The exhibition features loans from prominent institutions including the Fondation Louis Vuitton Paris pour la Création, MUSAC (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León), MEIAC (Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporáneo), the Berardo Collection, the EDP Foundation Art Collection / Pedro Cabrita Reis Collection, and works from the artist's own studio. Located at Palacio de Buenavista (C/ San Agustín, 8, Málaga, Spain), this presentation underscores the museum's commitment to international collaboration and distinctive contemporary art projects.
