It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, wait, it’s a Super sculpture by Joana Vasconcelos hanging in Le Bon Marche.
Le Bon Marche continues its commitment to feature relevant contemporary artists and in past years invited Ai Wei Wei, Chiharu Shiota, and Leandro Erlich to create a hanging installation in there atrium and in their windows. This year they welcome Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, who has imposed Simone, a massive Valkyrie figure in white with trimmings of sequins, fringe, lace, knitted wool, feathers, and tiny lights. The bold sculpture entangles itself around the escalators and a section of it looms over the store like a blimp wearing white evening wear.
Vasconcelos past works have been shown at Chateau de Versailles, Venice Biennale, and Guggenheim Bilbao.
