About

Hello again. My name is Guilherme Pereira Maggessi de Oliveira (he/him) and I am an art director and graphic designer, whose practice extends and expands into the fields of academic research, fine arts, and performance. For the past 10 years, I have worked in multiple contexts: advertisement and consultancy agencies, from big brands and companies to a co-led graphic design studio developing works for small-to-medium businesses, cultural institutions, and NGOs.

After moving to Vienna in 2019, I reoriented my practice towards the fields of academic research, fine arts, and performance. Recently I have completed my M.A. in Critical Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, further developing my interest in the construction and dissemination of othering and orientalizing images. Parallel to my studies, I have curated exhibitions (The Poiesis of Composting, Exhibit Eschenbachgasse, Vienna, 10.2021-02.2022; No Final Version, ENTRE, Vienna, 09.2022-10.2022; Approximating, AG18, 10.2022), taught (Curatorial Studies, SS 2021, IKW, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna), and worked with arts-education institutions on projects within artistic research (Confronting Realities, PEEK | FWF, Filmakademie Wien, 2022-2024) and critical diversity (Tricky Moments, mdw, 2021-2023).

Since mid-2020, I have been one half of Maggessi/Morusiewicz, a Vienna-based duo that researches, makes films, curates, performs, and art-works together. As a duo, we have presented artworks, curated exhibitions and screenings, performed, and showed our films in several institutions and independent spaces, such as Belvedere 21 (Vienna, AT), Exhibit Eschenbachgasse (Vienna, AT), Kunstraum Lakeside (Klagenfurt, AT), VBKÖ (Vienna, AT), wuk performingarts (Vienna, AT), SPEDITION (Bremen, DE), queerANarchive (Split, HR), and film place collective (London, UK).
