Vasconcelos' installation at the Palazzo Grassi
The Palace of Versailles's ambitious, and at times controversial, contemporary programme continues apace with an exhibition of works by the Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos scheduled for spring 2012. Vasconcelos is known for her elaborate, large-scale sculptures and installations that incorporate found objects, handmade crochet and knitted fabrics. Vasconcelos’s Contamination (2011), a patchwork sprawl of brightly coloured materials, is currently on show at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice (“The World Belongs To You”, until 31 December).
