Leigh Bowery DOFFAY

[ajenglish]

Worst comments. RIP to a genius, an iconoclast, a visionary, a strong, scary, insanely beautiful being.

[FrogmortonHotchkiss]

Don't see the point at all. Kind of atmospheric I'll grant, but I don't feel in any way elevated or even especially entertained. Art has degenerated into a self-obsessed freakshow. Give me clarity; don't pretend to be mysterious; I'll spit on a hanky and wipe your makeup right off.

[MrJimmypw]

Even though I don't personally understand it. From the perspective of art one of the objectives is to provoke a response. A lot of people are ranting about how bad this is, that in itself is a valid response and might even be the creators original intended response - I don't know. From that angle however this video is excellent.

I thought that was worth pointing out to those posting in internet rage.

[verbaledge]

where is the reaction that says totally confused

[moduslive]

i think his talent and skill with makeup design and application is often far too overlooked and forgotten, due to it being overshadowed by his abilities as a fashion designer and dressmaker which people tend to focus on exclusively

[nwlman]

silly attention seeker,would be long forgotten but for taboo the musical

[justnicknet]

@nwlman And his gigantic influence on the world of fashion.

[Antochristacidparty]

NO TALLENT!!! um excuse me!! he made ALL HIS out fits and created looks and styles that have been ripped off by the best and many are still inspiered by the works and PERFORMANCES , STYLES, PHOTOGRAPHS, VEDIOS, AND MUSIC by leigh bowery. not to mention the collabotration he did with michael Clark. what the fuck have u done NERD!

[JodieSculpted]

to all you cultureless goons nay saying against the wonderful Mr. Bowery you should let us know where you hang out so we don't have to chance running into all you soulless tasteless bores.

[Delacourtesan]

life needs more leigh's in it

[Rocketjay12]

I'm always in awe of people who become famous with no real special talents. Bravo!

[justnicknet]

@Rocketjay12 No talent?

[NastyKitty100]

@Rocketjay12 no, your just to linear to see it, he was a visionary

[cosmosman]

@Rocketjay12 this is art....leigh bowery was an entertainer and performer....his talent was captivating audiences and being entertaining.

whether you disagree with the above or not is moot...because many other people see leigh bower as an artist and entertainer.

[ChristopherDone]

Don't know what it's trying to express, don't know what images or ideas it's supposed to evoke, or observations it's making, or aesthetics it's appealing to, it seems to be just Leigh saying "this is my world, imagine it with me". And that's awesome.

[darkhipster]

this is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. It's nice to know that if you are famous, then you can convince people of anything, including that this video is worth watching!

[justnicknet]

@darkhipster Well. As soon as you do something better, do let us know.

[darkhipster]

@justnicknet when I woke up this morning I took the most amazing poop. I decided against taking a picture of it and putting it on the internet, I feel like that simple act was better than fuck faces video

[ToFierce2handle]

WTF IS he doing ?

[protolexis]

It's not finished!....It's finished!

[Ultrabrut1]

I often show this video to my kids, and tell them if they're not good, Leigh Bowery will get them! Fuckin' Harry Houdini Horseshit F-R-E-A-K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[charbyteU]

He looks just a little like Jesus, right?

[mausetieger]

Intense, powerful. Love it!

[pompezz]

[Ultrabrut1]

Wow! Imagine that beast cookin' you some eggs in the morning after a night of hard drinking! Oh! The Humanity!

[DarklyDreamingDerek]

Imagine waking up one night and having that staring at you. (shudders) Creepy.

[pillifant]

[hannaboobera69]

Leigh Bowery was freaking awesome!

[Chiswick2]

This is kind of scary.

[JolieJane]

I agree....probably because I dont quite know how to classify or 'box' Leigh, but that was Bowery - living Art! :)

[casinowilhelm]

AND A CLEANING SPRAY!!!!

[paulo7070]

Remember going to see this at Anthony Doffay gallery about mid-eighties ....... Most of the so called 'performance' art was Leigh lying down on the day bed not doing too much !

Bit like going to the zoo, if you went in at the right time he may be doing something, or he could just be sleeping ! ..... Interesting stuff for the time though .

[coonish28]

Genius.........the one and only

[Phillyguy30]

He was indeed a talented man,but this costume was always very scary to me....lol..but is also very creative and imaginative, nonetheless.

Leigh Bowery R.I.P

[Fromatoa]

Leigh was very talented in deed.He is a pioneer on performance art dealing with issues of gender in a complete unique way (genre).It is a pitty there is not more posts with he´s work of performance and happenings.

[thigmotatic]
