Gilbert and George

Gilbert and George are a british artist duo that make a lot of different types of art. From they're early work as the Singing Sculpture they exhibited the idea that you do not have to have objects to make art, you can be the object. They seem to take what they like and make art out of it, which is an interesting concept because a lot of artists do whats popular at the time. I think that their piece "bend it" is such a good idea, taking a song and pretty much doing what ever you want with it, like dancing.


I used them as inspiration for my Performance Art piece. i thought that using the objects such as the pots and lids and the plastic bowl would be different uses for drums. the music in my headphones was an idea i had right before i shot the video. The idea was for people watching to not hear the music, but only hear what i was playing on the pots and lids.
