Gilbert and George

Talk about two funny little English guys. They remind me a lot of Montey Python skits, the good ones. It seems to me like they just really love hanging out together and doing whatever the hell they think is funny. From dancing around to funny music for 5 minutes or using their own poop in a piece of art, they're like two eternal 10 year old boys, again in a good way. I really like their quote, "To make art you don't need objects, you are the object." This appeals to me so much more than, let's say the Fluxus ideas of picking up two random things and nailing them together to make a new "art" object. Maybe I just like Gilbert and George because they're funny, I don't know, but I like them.
