Adriana Varejão "Interiors" opens this Thursday, September 14, 6–8PM PT, at Gagosian Beverly Hills. In “Interiors,” the spatial drama of the Baroque assumes many forms: from the guise of Minimalism’s cool geometries; to the uncertainty that disrupts the seamless logic of the painted surface; to the ruins of Euclidean architecture, thick with flesh, blood, and fat. This is Varejao's first-ever West Coast exhibition and includes important loans from Brazil and Europe in a selected survey from the last twenty years. It is a collateral project of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA. http://fal.cn/tWL8

Adriana Varejão and Her "Invisible" Collaborator - SURFACE

This month, the Brazilian artist debuts her show “Interiors” at Gagosian gallery in Los Angeles.

Adriana Varejão Atelier's "Interiors" opens this evening at Gagosian Beverly Hills. A selective survey of more than 20 years worth of work, the exhibition will mark the first West Coast appearance of the artist. In speaking to Surface Magazine this week, Varejão said, "There are many more ideas and discourses in art than the central narratives have allowed. If viewers have new revelations that culture is always larger than we think it is then my work is done.”

Press release—Adriana Varejão at Gagosian Beverly Hills

AUGUST 15, 2017

The Baroque always connects two extremes, like light and shadow, in one body, one painting. History outside against a wild body inside, cultured and uncultured, cooked and uncooked, greed and expressionism, rationalism and irrationalism, cold and hot. —Adriana Varejão

Gagosian is pleased to present “Interiors,” an exhibition by Adriana Varejão, one of Brazil’s most renowned contemporary artists. A collateral project of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, this is Varejão’s first-ever West Coast exhibition and includes important loans from Brazil and Europe in a selected survey from the last twenty years.

Embodying the fraught pluralism of Brazilian identity and the diverse implications of social, cultural, and aesthetic exchange, Varejão’s unprecedented artistic forms—which encompass painting, sculpture, and video installation—reach across time and place, exposing the multivalent nature of history, memory, and cultural representation.

LA Things I collected (2016-2019) 

Catalog: Below The Underground: Renegade Art & Action in 1990s Mexico at Armory Center For The Arts

I went to a live drawing / performance where LA based artist Artemisa Clark reinterpreted Ema Villanueva's provocative Mexico City street actions. La clase de dibujo libre/Free Drawing Class was a series of life drawing classes in public plazas. During these performances, Villanueva posed as the nude model while simultaneously engaging in discussions with attendees about contemporary issues such as feminism and social justice—using the objectification of her own body as a means to bring attention to pressing topics of the day. This was during the UNAM student strikes in 1999 where federal police violently broke up protests against tuition hikes.

—No.

—Ninguna. A menudo ambas intentan ser la otra.”
