we are big fans of Gilbert & George's video pieces and this one was too good an oppourtunity for are-enactment.

After Gilbert & George
We are The Collective, we are everyone. We are everyone who's ever said "I could do that", we are everyone who's had a brilliant idea and then found out it's already been done, we are everyone who's ever seen a brilliant idea and said "I wish I'd thought of that". We are not I, we are you.
Portrait of The Artists As Young Men
After Gilbert & George
This blog is a snapshot of ideas and work that The Collective have been thinking about over the last term. Because our work revolves around other artist's work this is the main area that appears but we are also always looking at ideas around appropriation , plagiarism and orginality. Hopefully this blog can serve as a tool in bringing some of our ideas together.

I was just munching on a strong mint when a thought came to me...
What's really strange is i don't see you as plagureists because there is alwasy something a little different in the way you remake things already thought of. The only thing is, both of you lose your identity by being The Collective.
With French and Saunders, Gilbert and George they remain individuals even in their duos, but you guys are just know as the Collective.
It's not a very helpful comment but it tickled my brain.
Love the blog. Hope you're both having a fabulous weekend.
