Os Gemeos have done the following interview with Time Out about the show:



You’ve titled this show “Silence of the Music.” What does that refer to?
Otavio Pandolfo: It comes from when we started out as B-boys in São Paulo—what we experienced while break dancing. When you’re totally into it, you feel like you’re in another dimension where everything suddenly goes quiet. You no longer hear the music being played. Instead, every noise you make becomes the music; every move you make becomes the dance.

The show seems to be made up of different installations meant to flow together. Is that right?
Gustavo Pandolfo: Yes. We’ve got one space that’s like a temple, with a figure meditating in the center, and another that’s like a kid’s room with a music machine repeatedly playing the same song, differently each time. So together, these and other rooms are meant to be seen as one big history made up of many different histories.



You mentioned your start as break-dancers. When did you first discover hip-hop culture?
OP: In the ’80s. It was very surreal to us, very different from what we knew. But it also made some sort of sense because we grew up in São Paulo, which looks like New York in the ’70s. You could say it looked like New York back in the day.



You’re known for doing outdoor murals. Do you consider yourselves to be street artists or fine artists?
GP: We are just artists. If we want to paint outside, we do. If we want to paint in the studio or make animation, we do. Our work can be everywhere, because doing one thing doesn’t mean you can’t do another. We respect all of these different things.

Besides hip-hop, how does Brazil itself figure into your work?
OP: It’s everywhere. We reference the music, the food, the clothing, the climate, the people, the colors, the vibe. We are Brazilians; we were born there and we live there.



If we could look inside your heads, what would we see?
GP: It’d be like seeing a movie. Every single thing we make is like pressing the pause button on a video player. In our heads, it’s all the same movie.

Good spot 😉, is another one on there too and a Barr mcgee

Wouldn't one assess space before spending $7K on a print?

Let's see the full walls...there is a great thread here: urbanartassociation.com/thread/88709/show-latest-pad

These prints were destined to be failed flips, at 7k there just isn't any room for profit!

OPs birthday is tomorrow...

Guess he will have to revise his bday plans 😊

Because they use hipster printing machines

• The prints sold on 99prints.net are created in the oldest Parisian printshop, founded in 1852. The lithography presses, Voirin and Marinoni, were used by Picasso, Matisse, Miró, Chagall or Giacometti. Contemporary artists such as Jean-Michel Alberola, Sophie Calle, JR, Paul Mc Carthy or David Lynch explore the complexities of fine art printing in this printshop presses today. 99prints.net mixes the excellence of a century-old technique with the audacity of contemporary artists, to create unique and exclusive prints.
• The technique used is an 8-color lithographic printing on flat machine Voiron and Marinoni on Rives BFK White - 270 grams paper. They carry the stamp of the studio where they were printed. For more details please consult the home page.

This for sale post basically translates to me like "i've screwed up & my missus/partner is mightily pissed off with me because of it, i bought it on my credit card and i'm getting walloped on interest every month this piece of paper continues to sit in it's tube in my house. Please for the love of god somebody buy it from me"

Sorry, couldn't resist, haven't had the chance to use this for a while.

I would hope so for that price. Something I'll never be able to afford! 😉

Hi. I'm looking to add a small Os Gemeos original portrait to my collection. Let me know if you have anything.

Also, there was a recent auction of a small portrait entitles Vincente Mais Ou Menos, anyone know where the auction was and the hammer price?

Thanks for your help.
