I came across Joana Vasconcelos’ ‘Time Machine’ in the Manchester art Gallery. Link found here: http://www.manchestergalleriestimemachine.org/
The main exhibition consists of twenty of her most
significant sculptures, large-scale and small. Unfortunately I didn’t take the opportunity
to take a look around her large pieces on the top floor of the gallery, however
throughout the general exhibition spaces were some smaller works that I specifically
took interest to. These pieces were beautifully placed around the gallery,
blending in with the formation of the building and relating fantastically to
the project ‘Fairground’. A combination of knit, embroidery, quilting and some
serious embellishment warped around the existing space and art work. Looking closely
at Joana’s work, it was well relatable to ‘edges’, the main title for our weave
and embroidery project. I specifically loved the pompom trimmings and tassels,
some of which gave me inspiration for my own work. The major variation in bright
colours is something that I would like to take forward.
