Gilbert and George


I think these two are so funny for some reason. They think that to make art you don't need objects you just make yourself and object; they don't just have a surface, they have an inner soul. They essentially made themselves the art, so they as artists are already the art work. This video is only one of the examples of their artwork. They are suppose to be dancing sculptures; personally I don't see how they are sculptures. If they are sculptures here then if I make a dance to my favorite song with my friend could I be famous? This is performance art to me I just don't think they are being sculptures in this video because they are moving, sculptures don't move, human performers do in my mind. I would still go to see them do this in an art museum though because I think it is extremely funny and entertaining, showing their personality as "sculptures". I do like their idea of them being the artist and the art, and that this is an important part of performance art.
