Abstract
Ana Vieira (1940-2016) deixou um conjunto de instalações sem uma documentação sistematizada ou orientações de montagem. Numa tentativa de preservar este legado, herdeiros têm promovido exposições como forma de documentar as características tangíveis e intangíveis destas obras complexas. Em 2017, houve uma tentativa de montagem da instalação vídeo O desenho da menina a fugir do seu suporte no Centro de Arte Contemporânea Graça Morais, mas sem êxito. Contudo, em 2019, foram reunidas as condições necessárias para a sua reinstalação no Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia. Através deste caso de estudo e partindo da Actor-Network-Theory de Latour, demonstrou-se como a exposição é um momento crucial na trajetória da obra e na análise de uma rede de agentes, humanos e não humanos, dando origem a uma documentação que é essencial para informar futuras tomadas de decisão.
