Museo Picasso Málaga has highlighted Joana Vasconcelos’s installation 'Floresta Encantada' as a 2024 presentation at the museum in Málaga, Spain. The institution’s post focuses on the installation’s assembly and visual impact, describing it as a spectacle in its own right and presenting it as an immersive environment rather than a conventional display of individual objects.
In the museum’s description, Vasconcelos transforms the space into a living organism, using cascading fabrics illuminated by LEDs to create an installation through which viewers can lose themselves. The post also points to the work’s material complexity, naming hand-made crochet, knitting and stitching among the textile processes involved. It further notes the use of Dior textiles.
The emphasis on making and surface places 'Floresta Encantada' within Vasconcelos’s broader practice, which often draws on craft traditions, ornament and large-scale installation. Here, the museum’s language suggests a piece built from layered textile techniques and light, with the installation process itself framed as part of the work’s spectacle.
The announcement does not give a detailed curatorial text or public programme, but it does identify the work by title and year and situate it at Museo Picasso Málaga for 2024. The museum’s social media post presents the installation as a visual experience centered on movement, texture and illumination.
Museo Picasso Málaga, in the Andalusian city of Málaga, issued the post with images and video of the installation process. The available information is limited to the year-long reference and the visual description of the work, but it confirms the museum’s presentation of 'Floresta Encantada' in 2024.
