The monographic exhibition: Other Bodies Behind. Adriana Varejão explores the research lines that Adriana Varejão (Rio de Janeiro, 1964) has developed in her artistic practice since the decade of 1990, bringing together pieces created throughout the las thirty years. It is structured from three different sets of work: figurative canvases of the 1990s, a selection of the series Ruins of Dy Flesh, and the latest version of her installation of paintings Dust, showing from these changes the tensions and continuity that her work has experienced throughout the different periods of her creative activity.

This exhibition focuses, on one hand, on precisely the different approaches that Varejão makes on painting, which are connected with her considerations of the pictorial sphere as artifice and (political) representation. On the other, she gives account of one of the most important aspects of her researches: the body in its historical, political, and aesthetic contexts. Through both aspects, always present in her pieces, Varejão examines the consequences that the colonial period of Brazil had in the current configuration of its society, as well as in the history of the production of images.
