Talk:Leigh Bowery

message: This is a sprawling hagiographic mess of an article that deserves substantial editing/re-writing (from a Neutral point of view). Some of it barely makes any sense:
"Leigh Bowery, periferal in the notion of art practice by combining dandyism and body art, reconstructed his image while performing ...[he] uses the expression of the 'other' to create a form of cultural lip-syncing transvestism.[1] 	”
This is just gobbledegook trying to masquerade as 'art speak'. Meaningless.
"At this time, Margaret Thatcher was in power and, although they were making a good living, times were hard for Bowery without a trust fund. The only escape was in the secret underworld of often polysexual or gay nightclubs."
How come "times were hard" if "they were making a good living"? And WTF has Margaret Thatcher got to do with any of it?????
That's just two examples - there are loads more.

message: this article about Leigh Bowery is delightful.
However, it is obvious that it was written by one of his friends.
That is such a shame, he revultionised my idea of what is art when i was a teenager.
He deserves a better article than this, but I don' feel that i can really edit it.

message: Resolved. 
It'd be great if someone could add some (or any) information about Leigh.gif, since the submitter completely neglected to. Burpen 04:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
