Victoria Miro is delighted to participate in Frieze Masters with a solo presentation by Adriana Varejão as part of Studio, curated by Sheena Wagstaff.
By focusing on artists’ place of making, Studio – now in its second year – reflects the idea of the past informing the present moment of creation in an object for the future, showing living practice in dialogue with historical art.
One of the most original and significant voices in contemporary Brazilian art, Adriana Varejão is celebrated internationally as a painter whose work addresses the complex, interweaving themes of history, memory and culture, and decolonial narratives
This is a rare opportunity in London to see a comprehensive selection of works by Varejão (born 1964, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) including important pieces from throughout her career alongside three new Azulejão (Portuguese tile) paintings, as well as material from her vast archive.
This presentation is accompanied by a new essay by Anna Schneider, a writer, cultural organiser and curator at Haus der Kunst München.
