Capping off a series of exhibitions—which began in 2011 with “Alien Theory” at le plateau/frac île-de-france in Paris and Museo Marino Marini in Florence, and ended with “Papagaio” at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan and then Camden Arts Centre in London—Teoria Extraterrestre is the most comprehensive monograph to date on João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva; it sums up almost four years of work and thought that the artists themselves have compiled into a cinematic cosmogony.
