OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by Deleted on Aug 2, 2012 11:16:43 GMT 1, Had the honor of Seeing Gemeos show at ICA Boston and it was quite a treat for any serious Gemeos fan. This show was all about quality and not quantity (I believe fewer than 15 pieces), but oh what pieces they are! some of their most legendary works all in one place and in a 'white cube' context, which just proved how powerful these pieces are even when isolated from their original kaleidoscopic surroundings. They already feel like timeless masterpieces. Personal favorites are: 'The last Station of Spring' & the massive collaged 'Dentro do arco-iris, e assim' (Within the Rainbow) On a side note, the accompanying show book is one of the best Gemeos books/catalogues yet and is certainly the largest in size which really helps feature the details of Gemeos large paintings, the photos are top notch!. The only place you can get them from at the moment is from ICA store www.icastore.org/store/product/20321/Os-Gemeos-Catalogue/It is different than any book previously published about the twins in that it covers nearly the entire span of their career up until very recently...if I had to explain Os Gemeos to someone who has never heard of them I would give them this book above all others....also to my surprise and excitement the ICA gift shop was also selling what may be the first Os Gemeos official poster ever! and it is super fresh and super thick high quality framable. At first I thought it was quite pricey for a poster (only a few dollars cheaper than the book! @ $ 24.95) But I definitely don't regret buying...supposedly these are a small print run and sure to sell out...(the closest thing we are going to get to a print me thinks...miss at your own peril) only available at physical location or ICA online store www.icastore.org/store/product/21576/Os-Gemeos-Exhibition-Poster/If you are on the east coast you should make the journey to Boston and check this one out (you have till friggin Novemebr!)...also make sure to check out the insanely massive and powerful street mural (still being finished but sure to be another classic) at Dewey Square/South Street station as well as the smaller but equally iconic gems piece on the side of the Revere hotel, minutes away from Giant mural....I definitely 'Exited Through The Gift Shop' on this one!...back home now and still buzzing from the experience... I will try to post some of my pics when I get a moment but for now the only decent ones I found online are from the ever excellent: www.theworldsbestever.com/2012/08/01/a-look-through-os-gemeos-at-the-ica/
That poster looks great... sadly they won't accept an address outside the US.
If anyone would like to help me get one it'd be greatly appreciated.

Someone in the US with more free time than me should help Os Gems overseas fans out and order these in bulk and ship 'em out. I would try calling the gift shop directly...if enough of you do it I bet they might make an exception?

Now thats what I call inflation. I bought one yesterday for £19.02 now they want £26.86, has the pound crashed against the euro or is it just greed. Interesting they only offer one at a time.

OS Gemeos 🇧🇷 São Paulo Graffiti • Brazil Street Art, by Deleted on Aug 4, 2012 3:37:42 GMT 1, Just back from the party.
The work is awesome, simply stunning. Huge works, loaded with colour, pure fun in one museum. Party was ok, met a lot of nice people, no idea if the twins were there as well, didnt see them, didnt get my book (which looks nice too, large format!) signed but I can live with that. Free cocktails for members were a nice touch too. For those who asked me for a book, its on its way to you tomorrow. Love (v. From germany) couldnt reach you last minute and I'm afraid I cant help you atthe moment with a book. If you cant get one, let me know asap, maybe I can go to the museumshop later.
Adieu!

Jopkop... I'd love a poster if that's possible?
If you don't go back no problem...I'll see if I can get a US postal address to send it on to.
I can't wait to see more photos from the show!

One of my all time favorite artists. They keep getting better and better.
Sadly well out of my league.
Very cool about them signing posters and books, that's great!

Wiz, I also struggle a bit withthe lackof theme in their work. But the pure fun vibe and the amazing level of craftmanship that is reflected by the detail of the work makes up for that, big time. I had never seen gallery style work from them before, but did see a lot murals and my appreciation for the guys has only increased.
Also, the big wall in boston is so vibrant. The paint they used must glow in the dark, a nice and smart piece in the way they used the shape of yhe building.

I didnt know you were in Boston.. how very convenient is that, huh?!
as for the mural, I must say I was a bit "disappointed" when I saw the first few images, but the finished piece is mind blowing.. basically, Boston got a new landmark with this piece.. for sure.. fantastic work..

Tomorrow I have to ship them, if o ne is interested I will ship it to my own adress in the Netherlands. No sweat.
First pm gets it.
All best
