At the end of May, the Museo Picasso Málaga presents Joana Vasconcelos. Transfiguration (29 May to 27 September 2026), an exhibition that highlights transfiguration as the core of this artist’s work, alluding to the way in which Joana Vasconcelos transforms and reinterprets different aspects of reality.

The exhibition brings together a selection of works that trace her career, from pieces from the late 1990s to more recent creations, offering a new perspective on her artistic evolution. Through monumental sculptures and installations, Vasconcelos explores the relationship between Portuguese traditions and contemporary art, transforming everyday materials – such as textiles, ceramics and tiles – into pieces that celebrate cultural heritage and collective identity from a critical and transformative perspective.

Among the institutions that have loaned works are the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art of Castile and León (MUSAC), the Extremadura and Ibero-American Museum of Contemporary Art (MEIAC), the Berardo Collection, the EDP Foundation Art Collection / Pedro Cabrita Reis Collection, and works from the artist’s collection.

The exhibition, curated by Miguel López-Remiro, artistic director of the Picasso Museum in Málaga, reinforces the museum’s commitment to international collaboration and the presentation of unique projects in the field of contemporary art.
