SUITS: The Clothes Make The Man "[The] impudent Pimpernels of post-conceptual performance art." -Dave Hickey The Art Guys have done it again! In a project exploring the connection between fashion, art, and commerce that only these irrepressible mavericks could have conceived, the two Houston-based artists spent a year crisscrossing the country wearing suits by designer Todd Oldham on which they had sold advertising space to 56 American companies. Suits captures-through photographs, essays, and an interview with The Art Guys-the story of their often hilarious experiences in their guise as human billboards.

The Art Guys are featured in a new book by Sheri Klein, Professor of Art Education, The University of Wisconsin-Stout art & laughter "This is the first book to take seriously (though not too seriously) the surprisingly neglected role of humour in art. Art and Laughter looks back to comic masters such as Hogarth and Daumier and to Dada, Surrealism and Pop Art, asking what makes us laugh and why, and exploring the use of comedy in art from satire and irony to pun, parody and black and bawdy humor. Encouraging laughter in the hallowed space of the gallery, Klein takes us on a tour of the comic work of Red Grooms, Cary Leibowitz, William Wegman, The Chigaco Hairy Who, Richard Prince, Bruce Nauman, Jeff Koons, William Wegman, Vik Muniz and many more. She looks too at the smile in art and at the cute, the camp and the downright kitsch." - art & laughter Available through Amazon and other outlets worldwide.
