Gusmão & Paiva: Four Films

With contributions from Jennifer Higgie, Dan Fox and Barbara Casavecchia, a full report from the 53rd Venice Biennale is included in the September issue of frieze and is also available to read in full online. It’s worth also adding that Galeria Fortes Vilaça recently added films by João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva – whose Portugese pavilion was one of my highlights – to YouTube.

The 16 mm films, presented as part of the exhibition ‘Experiments and Observations on Different Kinds of Air’ at Venice, lose a little when shown online but they’re definitely worth a look.


Meteorítica (2008)


Pedras Rolantes (Rolling Stones, 2007)


O Oculto (The Occult, 2007)


Heráclito 1 (Heraclitus 1, 2007)

Read frieze‘s A-Z of the Venice Biennale here and Chris Sharp’s review of Gusmão and Paiva’s 2008 exhibition at Cordoaria, Lisbon here.
