		Gilbert and George's famous matching suits were a challenging fashion statement when they were young men in the 1960s and 70s.
		Gilbert and George want to be 'normal' in one sense -- partly in order to get attention from people who wouldn't be interested in conspicuously 'wacky' artists -- but then be subversive from within that position.
		Gilbert and George clearly do want to challenge and upset some traditional values and preconcieved ideas -- it's a bit silly to suggest that they are not like that.

		Of all Gilbert and George's works, this is the one that most acutely raises the question of whether their works are 'portraits', in the sense of representations of a person that tell us who they are and what they are like.
		Gilbert & George regard the move as 'a new beginning', and their exhibition is bound to provoke controversy.
		Gilbert and George are shown together, as are the new mayor Ken Livingstone and Chris Smith.

	culturevulture.net - review
		Gilbert and George are idiosyncratic artists who are best known for their gigantic colorful backlit mosaic photomontages, replete with social and political commentary, provocative imagery and portraits of Gilbert and George in various stages of undress.
		It is unclear whether Gilbert and George see their outer lives and their dress as continuations of their art, or whether they are capitalizing on the cult of celebrity, or are merely enjoying the fun of it all.
		But Gilbert and George explained to me that the works could be hung in any order the curator chose; and in fact, the pieces could be placed on separate walls or one long wall, in any order, as space permitted.

	KUNSTHAUS BREGENZ
		Gilbert, who was born in 1943 in the Italian Dolomites, studied at Wolkenstein School of Art (South Tyrol, Italy), Hallein School of Art (Austria), and the Munich Academy of Art.
		Gilbert & George started their work together with what one might call performance art by declaring themselves to be sculptures.
		In their latest work, Gilbert & George are more open than ever about their understanding of the body both as a sounding-board for the soul and the intellect and as something that cannot be duped or deceived.

	Microcinema DVDs - Tim Marlow with... Gilbert & George
		In other matters of 'creative secrets' Gilbert & George are less forthcoming, which is their right, but in general they are refreshingly candid, well-spoken and not at all abstruse in talking about their work.
		Gilbert & George will be most well-received by art students, art fans and others familiar with the world that Gilbert & George wish to explode by sharing their thoughts and feelings with regular folks.
		While it - and the art of Gilbert & George - is presented to a general audience, the walk-through-the-galleries motif (as opposed to a standard documentary format) might be unusual for viewers without an art background.

	Gilbert and George: the final act \| Art & architecture \| Guardian Unlimited
		The Major Exhibition of Gilbert and George at Tate Modern has been a triumphant moment for this single artist in two bodies, who began by turning up at art events in their matching suits and being a living sculpture, like any pair of painted buskers at Covent Garden.
		Gilbert and George are all the things that people have said they are, because those people have said what they said.
		Gilbert and George do not answer when asked if they are lovers; they might as sensibly be asked if they are haters, for they are everything to each other.

		There are differences (Gilbert and George are both queens, for a start), but the phenomenon is similar: two people - whose images we know so well, whose personalities we know so little - who have spent their adult lives going about together in public places so that other people may look at them.
		George snickers: "They do the wrong kind of sucking." (Despite the genteel manner, George is partial to humour of this kind.) They are both sitting demurely at table, in their trademark tailored suits, similar but not identical.

		The new series may be free from Gilbert and George's well-used image-repertory of turds, semen, blood, penises or pubic lice, but future visitors to Tate Modern need not be too disappointed: in Fates, the artists depict themselves flashing the V-sign.
		But Gilbert and George are no fans of Tate Modern, which will also host a retrospective of the artists' work in 2007.

		George: We simply believe that it is very good for people to have access to what is going on in art, just as they have access to what is going on in any other arena.
		George: A family is made up of people who have different views on different subjects but there is always a family feeling or a family direction — as well as the individual — where they share a common ground in going forward.
		George: Also we would be doing something that we have already done because we were familiar with that; and if we're familiar with it we've said and done it already.

	PLEXUS / REVIEW: Author - The Fundamental Theology of Gilbert and George
		Gilbert and George began to achieve recognition in the late sixties.
		While using a conceptual underpinning in their work, Gilbert and George have generally focused on humanistic issues, including social and political problems ranging from alcoholism, drugs, pollution, health epidemics, class conflicts, and the threat of nuclear arsenals.
		I have to say that in spite of its repetitive narcissism and self-indulgences the work of Gilbert and George constitutes a significant statement — a statement that raises many issues that need to be confronted in a world struggling to find its humanity at the end of the millennium.

		To say that Gilbert and George are delighted at the prospect of their retrospective is something of an understatement; they're in a frenzy of excitement.
		George Passmore was born in Plymouth in 1942; Gilbert Proesch was born in a village north of Venice in 1943.
		Gilbert's mother was a cook and his father a shoemaker, but they are dead now and he calls his brother and sisters only rarely - so, no, he doesn't seem particularly to miss Italy.

	Gilbert and George
		Given their status as the Morecambe and Wise of in-your-face-and-in-your-orifice art, it's surprising that this is Gilbert and George's first major retrospective in the UK for more than twenty-five years.
		Gilbert (born in San Martino, Italy, in 1943) met George (born a year earlier in Devon) when they were students at St. Martin's College of Art (as it was then before it became Central St. Martin's) in 1967.
		It's when Gilbert and George start to deal with homosexuality (incidentally, they are famously reticent about discussing the precise nature of their relationship) that they let themselves go, both as regards subject matter and, unfortunately, standards.

	Genders OnLine Journal - Performing the Closet: Grids and Suits in the Early Art of Gilbert and George
		And yet, despite the press's silence on the subject, Gilbert and George themselves did not seek to hide the nature of their relationship: they spoke of "queer-bashing" and dancing together at bars in a 1974 interview, and they posed holding hands or partially embracing for photographs taken by Cecil Beaton the same year.
		Gilbert and George pushed this infiltration of the gridded units to an extreme in later works from the 1980s and 1990s, where the composition of the picture ignores the geometry of the grid; the male bodies are no longer confined to individual gridded compartments despite the prominent fl grid that covers them.
		Gilbert and George have said that the grid represents the step-by-step evolution of life and that everything must be divided into segments -- a week, a month, a building.

	Gilbert and George's art might make you squirm
		In 1969, London artists Gilbert and George wrote four "Laws of Sculptors." They continue to follow them, to judge by my encounter with the pair in their retrospective, opening today, at the de Young Museum.
		Gilbert and George vigorously deny any humorous intent in their work, partly to dissociate themselves from a trend toward flippancy and jokes in recent art.
		Gilbert and George have had their fingers on those changes, and even pushed them at times.

		Gilbert & George delve into the vile substances of the body in search of spiritual truths as well: waste products, they believe, contain divine essences.
		In "Singing Sculptures" (1969), the work that brought them their initial fame, Gilbert & George stand on a small stage, dressed as always in identical suits, faces painted gold, one holding a walking stick, the other a cane.
		Gilbert & George have fused their lives so thoroughly with their art that the distance irony inevitably implies has apparently been vanquished.
