Joana Vasconcelos Instagram – For her showroom presentation at KÖNIG GALERIE, Joana Vasconcelos (@joanavasconcelosatelier) has developed a „surrealist bathroom“, consisting of a series of artworks, inspired by the element of water and the sustainability of our planet.
Vasconcelos created an old-style bathtub completely covered in plug holes, unable to contain water and, therefore, defeating the very purpose it has been created for. Completed with a shower head and a metal chain, it reminds us that water is a luxury we should treasure.
A group of works belonging to various series – Showers, Washbasins and Urinals – in which Joana Vasconcelos adds colourful crocheted elements to household sanitary ware. Resorting to crochet, the artist refers to the intimacy of the domestic realm through its link to female labour at home. The colorful, soft, and pliable fabrics contrast with the hard, sterile coldness of the surfaces they encounter. Through a disruptive process of transformation, the artist encourages a fresh look at these everyday objects.
