£15 £15Join Gilbert & George in conversation with Dr Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, as part of the Frieze Masters Talks Programme, to discuss over 50 years of creating art, the opening of the Gilbert & George Centre and their plans for the future.
For Gilbert & George, icons of modernism in classic suits, ‘our whole life is one big sculpture’. Implicit in their philosophy is the idea that personal investment is a necessary condition of art, and their monumental commitment to ‘living sculpture’ has endured for over five decades. As the starring characters of their art, theirs is a perpetually growing body of art corroborated by every public appearance and statement. ‘Our subject matter is the world,’ they say, and their wide filter enables them to address shifting social mores around sex, identity, religion, violence, prejudice, addiction and death, and to challenge the tastes and conventions of contemporary art.
