Tim Marlow With... Gilbert & George

Gilbert & George are two people but one artist. Their remarkable partnership is among the most consistent and long lasting in the history of art.

In this fascinating and revealing film the self-proclaimed living sculptures join Tim Marlow in an exclusive walk round their "Major Exhibition" at Tate Modern and talk frankly about art and life.

They discuss why they dislike religion and the countryside, how they went about photographing their own bodily fluids, why they have always worn suits and how they have felt shunned the art establishment and the media.

Since meeting at St. Martin´s School of Art in 1967 and resolving to make ´art for all´, Gilbert & George have pushed at the boundaries of art and society. Their pictures are provocative, humane, disturbing and profoundly moving in equal measure. Their art wrestles with what it is to live in the modern, vibrant, seductive, tension-ridden metropolis of London."We have inside ourselves a lot of throughts, feelings, desires, dreams, hopes and fears. And we, as artists, have a great, burning ambitious need to tell these things and put these things out of ourselves".

This film is a fascinating insight into their world and in itself an important document of their life and work.
