gilbert and george

[Tysto]

Some of the greatest absurdist meta-comedy ever. Not funny. Not interesting. Not entertaining. And yet, undeniably THERE.

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

[wilderulz]

Intense.......

[japanbanjo]

I felt a lot like Gilbert: those rockets sound-liked made me apathetic.

[japanbanjo]

[Horsam]

[Rhiiannaxx]

Art can be anything that you make it.

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.

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

[pressgang]

look at them all dark in black and white looking like Ron and Reggie kray of the art world

Barrie J Davies Loves This work.

[JoelDionysus]

Who are you to speak of Barrie J Davies so authoritatively?

[cybermorder]

"happening" it's not art

[bwhahrhr]

saying that art isnt art is art!

[JoelDionysus]

I want my DADA!

[bwhahrhr]

[JoelDionysus]

Is it homemade or readymade?

[bwhahrhr]

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