New-York based artist, writer and filmmaker Pedro Neves Marques, in his first UK solo exhibition at Gasworks, is interrogating the biopolitics at play in a nation battling the threat of mosquito-transmitted diseases. Speaking of his politically engaged practice, Pedro tells us, “I try to be very aware of the potentials of each art and medium, and choose what’s best for what I want to say. With a background in visual arts, as well as political critical theory, I’ve come to use exhibition spaces for the environmental and curatorial freedom they allow.” Entitled It Bites Back, the Gasworks exhibition brings together a series of works made in the context of Brazil’s ongoing war against the Zika and dengue virus-transmitting Aedes aegypti female mosquito.
