This is a nice change - For a project titled O Estrangeiro (The Stranger), Os Gemeos collaborated with Plasticiens Volants on a publilc performance that involved their character being blown up as a parade float! The result is awesome. As per São Paulo usual, this was captured by Lost Art. This is just a teaser, go see the rest of the set!

You can also see the painting of the mural that goes along with this performance here.
After a much-documented week, the Os Gemeos mural is complete. Be sure to check the updated slideshow of the wall coming together and details of the finished piece in our previous post!
UPDATE JULY 16, 2009: [A] The slideshow has been updated with new photos from the past week through finished details and [B] Coyo, Ise and Finok are in NYC too.
YES! Deitch Projects tapped OsGêmeos to replace the Harring mural on Houston! You’ve probably seen this elsewhere on the interweb, but here’s the deal: The twins got started on Wednesday, and all the shots in the slideshow thus far were taken in the early mornings, so everything done on day one was shot on Thursday, everything done on day two was shot Friday, etc. This set will be updated daily with the latest pictures first (we’ll keep you in the loop). Anyone know if they brought other VLOK members with them? Mail us.
Just saw photos from the Os Gemeos Vertigem show at Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in Rio de Janeiro - and its a beauty. It runs through May 17, 2009, so if you’re in Rio definitely check this out.
All images are from Lost Art, be sure to check out the full set there!
