Talk:Gilbert & George

message: Could someone who knows more details enter in informationa bout them being listed in the Yellow Pages?
: I saw their exhibition at the Tate Modern yesterday, and the guide says that due to their desire to make accessible art ("Art for All"), they were listed under the heading "Artists".  They included their phone number and address on many of their pieces.  I don't know how to reference a multimedia guide on wikipedia, though :) Dave420 14:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The Guardian website has an article 'Gilbert and George unveil new hoodie art'  covering their latest work, a comment on the current UK media demonising of 'youth culture'- interestingly it links back to the wikipedia G&G article- have added the link tot he article, it would be good to incororate some text on their new 'hoody art', I'm too tired at the moment, anyone fancy having a crack at it? quercus robur 22:08, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Am including a reference to their house on Fournier Street. If anyone objects because thay are still alive and this sort of information is private, feel free to revert. However, it is no secret and appears in many journalists' profiles. Google 'Gilbert and George Fournier Street' for confirmation.--Ethicoaestheticist 23:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They include their address and phone number on many of their pieces.  As I stated above, their desire for accessibility means they never tried to hide where they lived and worked.  Dave420 14:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: An anon editor has been removing their surnames, stating Gilbert and George don't want to be know or remembered by their surnames. That's fine, if you are an artist and have these whims, I mean Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol a few years ago, but this is wikipedia, which records encyclopaedic facts like surnames of notable people. This is not the artists private website and they don't dictate policy here. Snappy56 (talk) 10:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

message: It is quite ungainly. I really don't have the inclination to rewrite it right now as I have to go to work in a bit to spend 9 hours re-writing other people's sentences, but this is mainly a reminder for when I'm feeling a bit more motivated to sort it out - or a heads-up for anyone else who wants to. 78.86.18.55 (talk) 18:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Gilbert & George produce t-shirts and catalogues, for all visitors to any exhibition, who wish to buy them.
If this is possible in Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB), it can be happening elsewhere.
It is my anonymous wish that one catalogue will be accessible, at Centro de Documentação Gonçalo Diniz, management of International Lesbian and Gay Association Portugal (not mine).

message: Artiquities, I take your point about the MOS, but we now again have a mixture of 'Gilbert and George' and 'Gilbert & George' in the text, and that was what I was attempting to resolve. Rothorpe (talk) 00:51, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Rothorpe - Like Marks & Spencer or Marks and Spencer - ampersand is acceptable in context of title or company name, but when referring to them as individuals, e.g. "Gilbert and George both studied at St. Martins . . " then 'and' should be spelled out in full - so there might be a mixture, no? Artiquities  (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

text: Yes, I see your point  - I notice NY Times style concurs. Artiquities  (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't know whether it is a big enough event, but the first ever Gilbert & George Australian exhibition opened at MONA in Tasmania on Saturday 28 November 2015. The two men were at MONA for the opening.  The exhibition will end 28 March 2016. 118.208.212.199 (talk) 07:33, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to be a major retrospective exhibition and I'd certainly say that any exhibition that they were willing to travel half way round the world to see opened is major enough to include. Trouble is that we don't have a key exhibitions list to include it in so I am not sure where it should go within the article. --DanielRigal (talk) 10:36, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

message: 'Prousch' looks like an lazy pseudo Frenchification of an Elsass-Lothringen German lastname. The true spelling (like in the telephonebooks that bit of Italy is: Proesch or Prüsch.
:No. Since you brought up telephone books, I just checked the entries for his hometown San Martin de Tor: no Proesch, no Prüsch (by the way, both last names are nonexistent in South Tyrol, have a look yourself), only Prousch. Here is a website of San Martin de Tor's tourist board showing Prousch's birthplace. It's unimaginable that they are unaware of his "true" family name. We are talking about a municipality with less than 2,000 inhabitants, with family members still living there... --Mai-Sachme (talk) 11:30, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
