The Art Guys (Michael Galbreth (född 1956 i Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , död 2019 i Houston, Texas ) och Jack Massing (född 1959 i Buffalo, New York ) är ett samarbetande konstnärsteam baserat i Houston, Texas .
Historia
The Art Guys har arbetat tillsammans sedan 1983 efter att ha träffats medan de studerade vid University of Houston . För att utforska sina idéer använder de en mängd olika medier inklusive skulptur, teckning, performance, installationer och video. Mat, droger, pennor, basebollträn, flaggor för bilar, tandborstar och tändstickor är bland de okonventionella materialen de har använt.
Beskrivna i New York Times som "en korsning mellan Dada , David Letterman , John Cage och Smothers Brothers ", presenterar The Art Guys en blandning av performance, konceptuell och visuell konst som utforskar absurditeterna i det samtida livet.
De har mottagit Artadia Awards både 2004 och 2006.
