The whole art thing was a little scary!! Especially at the end, when dawns getting kicked in the head by a mechanical boot! These women have the wildest imaginations!!!! And I love it1!! :) Thanks for posting!! :)
I think it was an homage to Chaplin's "Modern TImes"; Chaplin plays a laborer in a assembly plant similar to Henry Ford's; An inventor was trying to convince the owner or foreman how his invention will enable workers to stay on the assembly line while eating their lunch in order to meet production quotas and order deadlines. It ends with hilariously disasterous results. [sorry I can't spell anymore]
THis is BRRRRILLANT!! Back in 1990 or 1991, when I was 22 or 23, I was on a long break between 2 drawing sessions at Joe Catuccio's Studio on Green Street [SoHo/Lower Manhattan not London] I couldn't afford to eat so I ducked into a Gallery, I think it was the Leo Castelli [before the Frank Serra sculptures killed a few people after they fell through the wood flrs.] lo and behold it was Gilbert and George!! I distinctly remember that they had drawn their own backdrops on paper canvas [??] They wore silver painted outfits and a silver biker helmets; I remember the gallery director admonishing us to not sit too close to them and ruin their 'work"; then they appeared and all I can think was what a couple of pretentious twats. What did I know I was only 22. A few of us left in the middle of the performance which was pure nothing. they just stood there trying to look like something with some ridiculous muzak in the background. I went back to Joe Catuccio's drawing studio as I paid for the whole day [$7] & didn't dare tell anyone what I saw. It was too embarrassing to admit to having seen something that stupid & not really know what I was seeing. FYI: I was taught to reject performance artists and Conceptualism as being illegitimate art forms.
You sound like the epitome of a pretentious elitist arty person. G&G are National treasures and true British eccentrics. They have contributed a great deal to art and still do. Art is subjective. You must know that. David Bowie collected their work....Did he collect your work?
@@LusciousTwinkle .I like the way you transfer the description of yourself onto others. I don't like Gilbert & George. BUT AT LEAST I SAW THEM LIVE and I know who they are. !!!I now. I also know where they're coming from. In order to appreciate them you would need to know something about Andy Warhol and The Factory, a concept he co-collaborated with Edie Sedgewick on. I bet you don't even know who they are either. Gilbert & George are left overs from The Factory [1960's- early 70's ???]when they were something. By the 1990's performance Art had changed dramatically. Now it's gone back underground to re-invent itself as it should. Just because you know nothing does NOT make everyone an elitist snob. It just means everyone did their homework and obviously you do NOT. BTW I've always been part of the art community pretty much my entire adult life; I am NOT one of those hanger on hams like yourself who comb Art Forum Magazine & the internet looking for an artist openings to crash to get free food and booze. I was fortunate enough in the late 1980's thru the 1990's to have had opportunities to know and have conversations with artists who themselves were active during that time and could explain what was going on in the art world back then. A time that also includes Yoko Ono quite prominently. Never liked her work BUT to leave her out of the FLUXUS Period would do the Post- Modern History of Art an injustice. Finally NO, I'm NOT surprised Gilbert & George were collected by David Bowie, but I suppose you only know that because someone on the internet posted it. I know its mentioned on the Wikipedia site. NO Gilbert & George were NOT part of THE FACTORY , but they were in art school when THE FACTORY hit its zenith in the mid-late 1960's and they were greatly influenced by Andy Warhol and vice versa. So much so in fact they met and traded ideas; They might have even helped each other on projects.
@@eleni1968 WTF are you talking about?G & G are british! Warhol and his factory are American.They may have been influenced by him but they were not connected. EVERYONE was influenced by Warhol.. Dont blame your gender for the fact that no one wants to buy your art. People buy G&Gs....still. You have just proven yourself to be exactly what I thought. I did 3 years of art history as part of my degree and lived through the 70s and 80s. i know my stuff thanks...a bit better than you it seems. I dont expect people to buy my work like you do, just because I have a vagina. Dont bame the world and other for your failures...You can only blame yourself. You are definitely the one projecting here. I am not the one slagging off artists way more successful and talented than me.

"I'm the Leader of the Gang" by Gary Glitter
what's the song from the hippie music sketch?
The first time I saw this was circa 1988. It was so damned funny, it made a life-long impression. Thank you so much.
I don't know why I ever found this funny.
whats the end credits song ?
They're thinking of Walking In The Air! *Raises Fist* Go Nightwish!
