primeira desordem is a multidisciplinary project by Hugo Gomes (Lisbon, 1989) and João Marques (Lisbon, 1989) that explores the fictional potential of visual, political and social structures. Working with a variety of media – sculpture, video, installation, performance, poetry and crime – the artistic process is embraced as an ironic, self-constructed language. 
Hugo Gomes has a degree (BA) in Visual Arts from Polytechnic Institute of Tomar and was a guest student in Hassan Khan’s class at Stådelschule, Frankfurt am Main. João Marques has a degree (BA) in Visual Arts from Polytechnic Institute of Tomar and studied saxophone at Hot Clube de Portugal, Lisbon.
