Os Gemeos "Too Far Too Close"
Deitch Projects (Wooster St.)
This event has ended.
Os Gemeos (pronounced "ose zhe'-mee-ose.") are two artists from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo were born in 1974, identical twin brothers whose pseudonym, Os Gemeos, translates to "the twins" in Portuguese. In addition to their incredible works created on the streets of Sao Paulo, the twins have in recent years exhibited their art in museums all over the world.
In Too Far Too Close, they will be transforming the gallery into a fantastical cityscape with houses, doors, and passageways, all brought to life with their signature style of imagery. Building upon a group of artworks created for the Museum Het Domein in the Netherlands, this show features new paintings, sculpture, and installation bringing all the magical moments of their work together in one tightly knit dream world of an exhibition.

Wow. A show that even a hardened art cynic will love!
@saya would you have a specific "hardened art cynic" in mind?
also, after you visit this exhibition don't forget to work over to the other Deitch Projects venue, which is nearby, on 76 Grand St! Last I was there they were featuring some really cool/trippy optic art...
