Side by Side é um vislumbre único do mundo mercurial que Gilbert e George constroem em torno de si. Um “romance de escultura contemporânea”, Side by Side funciona como uma espécie de manifesto de suas visôes da vida e da arte. Nós os seguimos “na natureza”, em uma celebração lúdica do flanar romântico enquanto atravessam o interior inglês, através de “Um vislumbre do mundo abstrato”, em que breves, mas poeticamente ornamentados textos são agrupados com imagens abstratas desenhadas à mão.

A capa em marmorização, criada pelos próprios artistas, torna cada cópia desta bela edição um objeto de arte único. Side by Side é uma chave para suas imagens, performances e iconografia subseqüentes, bem como um testemunho de suas visões de trabalho: “Stand alone and standing for Art”.

Side  by Side is a unique glimpse into the mercurial world that Gilbert & George construct around themselvesA ‘contemporary sculpture novel’, Side by Side functions as a kind of manifesto of their view of life and art. We follow them ‘in the Nature’, in a playful celebration of the Romantic flâneur as they traverse the English countryside, through ‘A Glimpse into the Abstract World’, in which brief but poetically ornate texts are teamed with hand-drawn, abstracted imagery.

The hand-marbled cover, created by the artists themselves, makes each copy of this beautiful edition a unique art object. Side by Side is key to their subsequent pictures, performances and iconography, as well as a testament to their working vision: ‘Stand alone and standing for Art’.
