Gilbert and George = No talent. I'd rather watch a tramps toenails grow.... but then again that's just the sort of crap that might just happen in the Tate modern
gilbert and george were the first living sculptures.
at a certain point in their career, they claimed that their bodies were "sculpture." as an experiment, they dressed and behaved as these "living sculptures," and created many performances. this is a documentation of one of the performances.
they are the pre-cursors to performers/living sculptures that we now see in tourist areas of people painted in silver and/or gold standing in various positions for extended period of time.
Some of the greatest absurdist meta-comedy ever. Not funny. Not interesting. Not entertaining. And yet, undeniably THERE.

I can't believe people actually followed their art. This is like a street performance, not artwork.

I always feel that the living sculpture thing was something that Kraftwerk would later "borrow".Good to see.
