Saturday October 4th 7:00 p.m. Artist Talk
BROOKLYN MUSEUM Meet at the Entrance to Rotunda Gallery, 5th Floor

Gilbert and George discuss their work. Free tickets are available at the Visitor Center at 5 p.m.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its "First Saturdays" program, the Brooklyn Museum invites a provocative mix of musicians and artists to ring in the good times. Among the distinguished invitees is the British duo Gilbert & George, self-proclaimed "living sculptures" (basically performance artists who never get out of character). The two, having garnered much attention for their controversial themes (their 1995 "Naked Shit Pictures" series displayed their naked bodies alongside giant turds), have chosen to bring their 20-year-retrospective world tour to a close here. The double G's will discuss their works, which riff on subjects like religion, sexuality, race, superstition, death, and terrorism. Other highlights include transsexual Kate Bornstein's performance, On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us and the screening of Michael Winterbottom's 24 Hour Party People. The night ends with a sexy salsa dance party. EUDIE PAK.Village Voice

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
