More Performance Art...

Gilbert and George made me laugh with how formal they were in their business suites during their performances. Turning themselves into "living Sculptures" was a creative idea, however I didn't really see the point. I thought the song "Bend It" was cute but I couldn't understand the purpose. I understand the concept of turning yourself into the art work but it didn't really move me. I thought most of their art work was a little too over the top, but still made me think they had a great sense of humor. I did enjoy all of the color that they used in their pictures. Even though Orlan was very extreme and pretty disturbing in some cases, I thought her photographs were beautiful. I really liked the ones where she is coming out of the frame, I thought that was a cool concept. When she started getting into the plastic surgery/performance, it really grossed me out and I thought she went too far. I don't think she should have risked mutilating her own body to get her point across. When Orlan started transforming herself into African women and other cultures, I thought she looked beautiful and it was hard to tell she was the same person in some cases.
