Galeria Adriana Varejão, the Inhotim Institute, Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Inaugurated in 2008, with a project by the architect Rodrigo Cerviño, this gallery, which brings together works by Adriana Varejão, does not reveal what is inside. The “blind building”, as Cerviño called it, is a large concrete box suspended over a water mirror, which, in turn, reflects and expands the surrounding nature, proposing a dialogue between architecture and landscape. The starting point for the design of the gallery is the structure that previously occupied the place, a support shed for the maintenance of the old farm, which, when removed, left a marked cut in the elevation of the land, used as a base for the gallery construction.
