Synopsis

In the tradition of Marcel Duchamp, Fluxus and Andy Warhol, the Art Guys, Houston-based artists Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing, employ unconventional means and humour to explore serious contemporary issues. This collection gathers together 87 pieces of the Art Guys's collaborative work. Illustrated here and discussed in four essays are examples of the duo's sculpture, drawing, collage, installation, actions, performance and video, as well as a range of stunts. The themes and motifs that run through the Art Guys's work are drawn out. The book accompanied the Art Guys's first retrospective held at the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, in 1995.
