Joana Vasconcelos at the Château de Versailles

Dear Brazilians, I’ve just been to the Château de Versailles to see Joana Vasconcelos exhibition! It was crazy and such a beautiful exhibition! This is the first time in the Contemporary Art Program of Versailles that a woman does an exhibition. She shows wonderful pieces in the most beautiful rooms of the Palace (Hall of Mirrors, War Drawing-Room, Queen Bedroom…). This exhibition is a mix of art and fashion with true objects like shoes and materials (feather, embroidery…). You really have to see this show if you come to Paris (it will finish at the end of September)

“Interpreting the dense mythology of Versailles, transporting it into the contemporary world, and evoking the presence of the important female figures that have lived here, while drawing on my identity and my experience as a Portuguese woman born in France, will certainly be the most fascinating challenge of my career.” Joana Vasconcelos
