Gilbert And George
Major Exhibition, Tate Modern
Enjoyable retrospective of the suit-loving duo's career packed with all the shit, piss, spunk and boys in 80s hairstyles that they've come to be known for. With a 40 year span taking in Thatcherism, Aids and the Evening Standard's recent love of getting the word "TERROR" onto their billboards as often as possible, the exhibition also doubles as a portrait of their East End home, with G&G floating through it all, blankly observing. Loses it a bit when they learn Photoshop and start morphing their faces etc, but it's great seeing hits like ENGLAND, DEATH HOPE LIFE FEAR, and of course, CUNT in the flesh, as it were.
