Genteel Perversion by Chris Horrocks
Gilbert and George are perhaps the world's most enduring and controversial artist duo, and the first to transform themselves into a permanent, living work of art. Incorporating their lives, fears, desires, and beliefs into their oeuvre, Gilbert and George - with their almost alarming formality and raucous use of colour - have been alternately celebrated as frank observers of the human condition and accused of reactionary posturing, obscenity, and profanity. From their gallery-based video art to their film The World of Gilbert & George, and from the many documentaries in which they perform as themselves to their recent emergence into the world of social media and other alternative spaces of display, Genteel Perversion exposes the volatile collision of living art and moving image that were, are, and will be Gilbert and George.Chris Horrocks is a filmmaker and associate professor at Kingston University's School of Critical Studies and Creative Industries. He is the author of Cultures of Color and Genteel Perversion, among other works.
