Language: italian - 208 pages - - Unendo le loro vite e il loro ingegno in un'unica indissolubile entit, Gilbert & George hanno scelto di creare un'arte capace di parlare della vita invece di produrre un'arte puramente fine a se stessa. Dai loro esordi, nel 1967, i due artisti hanno perseguito nel loro intento e hanno esplorato ogni aspetto della condizione umana. Potenti, sincere, scomode, ironiche e tragiche, le loro opere costituiscono uno tra gli insiemi pi lucidi e coerenti della storia dell'arte contemporanea. All'inizio compiono le sperimentazioni pi audaci, dopodich individuano la formula delle "photo pieces" destinata ad avere tanto successo tra humour, body art e narcisismo estetizzante e, infine, sviluppano un metodo di lavoro che applicano a ogni opera. Ciascun nuovo gruppo di opere dal contenuto provocatorio e violento concepito come un corpus logico e coerente costruito attorno a un tema o motivo. Ricercare, ideare, progettare, esporre, pubblicare, discutere, documentare e archiviare sono tutti elementi di una stessa pratica - o meglio di una "esistenza" - integrata e coerente, dal momento che l'arte di Gilbert & George coincide con la loro vita e viceversa.
