Iconic,humble, irreverent, thoughtfull, sensitive anarchic, ordered, catalogued and uncatagorizable. Just some of the reasons why both Mr Gilbert and Mr George hold a special place in our heart. Met them briefly the other morning, but Tania spent an hour with them the day before, you can listen to that exchange here in the next few days.
Apparently the show which was curated by Jan Debbaut was over 200 pieces when it showed in the Tate modern, here in San Francisco we're down to about 80, but don't let that put you off, it's at the deYounge for the next few months.
Loved the show, just saw it and was highly amused at seeing 'naked piss' for the first time after all these years of others name dropping it. Enamored with some of the individual pieces, and touched by the curio exhibit of their notes and effects at the end.
