Joana Vasconcelos confronts the world of embroidery and crochet, sex and simulacra at the Burlington Gardens as Autumn officially takes a stand on London. Finding inspiration for her first London exhibition through the daily themes of life. Entitled after the musical genius of Gloria Gaynor's 'I will Survive' this showcase captures a very disciplined, often stereotypical skill and transforms it into something almost unimaginable. The idea of crochet, embroidery and beading dwarfing the entrance hall of the Haunch of Venison is impressive. Vasconcelos's ability to explore similar themes of femininity and womanhood in a range of forms and materials ensures the exhibition that flows over a massive nine rooms will capture and hold the audiences throughout, the 'Garden of Eden' is breathtaking.
