An impressive exhibition by Joana Vasconcelos, titled “Plug-In,” is set to dazzle visitors at the MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture, and Technology) in Lisbon, starting from September 29th. This exhibition encompasses a series of iconic works by the artist, created throughout her career since the year 2000, and promises to astonish with its diversity and creativity.
One of the most striking highlights of this show is the “Solitaire” from 2018, a truly unique piece that graces the top of the staircase overlooking the majestic Tagus River inside the MAAT’s Gallery. This “Solitaire” is much more than a mere engagement ring; it is a work of art that challenges conventions and expectations. The top of the ring features a dazzling “diamond” that, astonishingly, is composed of 1,449 crystal whiskey glasses and 110 golden alloy rims. It is a brilliant representation of Joana Vasconcelos’s bold and innovative vision.
But there is an even more incredible opportunity behind this exhibition. In collaboration with the company “Marriage Proposal in Portugal” visitors have the chance to turn this artistic experience into a truly memorable marriage proposal. Imagine yourself kneeling before this gigantic engagement ring, against the magnificent backdrop of the Tagus River, creating a moment that will be cherished forever.
Thus, in addition to appreciating Joana Vasconcelos’s creativity, visitors can make this event even more special by choosing the MAAT as the setting for a unique and emotional marriage proposal. This is an extraordinary opportunity to blend art and love in a way that will endure in memory and in the heart for a lifetime. The “Plug-In” exhibition and the “Solitaire” bear witness to the beauty and originality that can be found in both art and love, making this experience truly unforgettable.
