Press Release

Cuerpo de Obra presents an extensive selection of drawings, paintings and sculptures that traces the life and work of Adolfo Riestra (Tepic, Nayarit, 1944 - Mexico City, 1989). Curated by Mauricio Marcin, the exhibition highlights Riestra’s ability to explore the representation of the human body in unusual and disruptive ways, questioning hegemonic norms of beauty and identity. His universe is populated by beings that demand disidentification: arms that elongate to the point of defectiveness, torsos that twist, swollen thighs, exaggerated genitalia, hermaphroditic creatures... These beings avoid the construction of a stable ego and seek lightness and mutability. Riestra does not oppose beauty, but implants it with other canons: his song is that of a bird that few understand.
