Event overview
The Department of Art Public Talks Programme Spring 2019 welcomes visual artist, filmmaker and writer Pedro Neves Marques.
Pedro Neves Marques is a visual artist, filmmaker, and writer. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, he lives in New York since 2012. Often times placed in Brazil, his work ranges from fiction, in the form of narrative films and short stories, to theoretical writings between art, cinema, and anthropology. Heavily influenced by cosmopolitics and feminist historians of science, his stories highlight the clash between disputing images of nature, technology, and gender. In all of them, science fiction is key to thinking both past histories of colonization and the possibility of non-Western futures.
Neves Marques received an MA in Art and Politics from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a BA in Fine Arts from Universidade de Lisboa. He has had solo presentations of his work at the Pérez Art Museum of Miami; Museu Coleção Berardo, Lisbon; e-flux, New York (with Mariana Silva); and EDP Foundation, Lisbon (with André Romão). Group shows and screenings include, among others, SculptureCenter, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and Anthology Film Archives, New York; Jeu de Paume, and Kadist Art Foundation, Paris; Tate Modern, London; V-A-C Foundation, and PAV, Italy; Casa do Povo, São Paulo; Sursock Art Museum, Beirut; Times Museum, Guangzhou; Fondación Botín, Spain; and MAAT, Lisbon. As a writer, he is the editor of the anthology on Brazilian Antropofagia from an anthropological perspective, The Forest and the School: Where to Sit at the Dinner Table? (2015), and the author of two short-story collections, most recently Morrer na América (2017). He has written for magazines such as e-flux Journal and The Baffler, and has published texts in books by Archive Books, Verso Books, MIT Press, and HKW. Together with artist Mariana Silva he is the founder of inhabitants, an online channel for exploratory video and documentary reporting, which has shown or collaborated with TBA 21 – Academy, New Museum, Contour8 Biennale, HKW, and Museu Colecção Berardo. He is currently preparing a solo show at Gasworks, London, opening April 11, 2019.
