The Meaning of the Earth offers a retrospective on the work and lives of the relentlessly controversial artists Gilbert & George, connecting their beginnings as Living Sculptures to their pictorial work of today.
As Living Sculptures, Gilbert & George offered two pieces of advice to their live audiences every morning: `Sit on the edge of your bed and think, ¿What do I want to say to the world today?¿¿ and `Fuck the teachers!¿
The Meaning of the Earth offers a retrospective on the lives and work of the relentlessly controversial artists, placing them within the context of twentieth century British culture. Wolf Jahn tells the story of how Gilbert & George found their identity in opposition to pervasive ideas around social conformity and religion after meeting in 1967.
The artists staged an internal revolution, mining their psyches to create visionary and unwaveringly modern art. The `two people but one artist¿ ask the questions that gnaw at us all: `Where do we come from?¿, `Who are we?¿ and `Where are we going?¿ The book meditates on the artists¿ role in this century, connecting their beginnings as Living Sculptures to their pictorial work of today.
The Meaning of the Earth is a continuation of Jahn¿s 1989 work, The Art of Gilbert & George. The author writes a playful philosophical interrogation of Gilbert & George¿s work that truly grasps its cosmic scale.

Über den Autor
Born in Stuttgart in 1955, Wolf Jahn is an author, editor and journalist. Over the past forty years, Wolf Jahn has written extensively about the works of Gilbert & George, including the book The Art of Gilbert & George (Thames & Hudson, 1989).
Gilbert & George began creating art together in 1967 when they met at Central St Martins School of Art, and from the beginning ¿ in their films and LIVING SCULPTURE performances ¿ they have appeared as figures in their own art. The 'two men, one artist' believe that everything is potential subject matter for art. They address social issues and taboos, challenging what might be considered 'good taste'. Implicit in their art is the idea that an artist¿s sacrifice and personal investment is a necessary condition of art. The backdrop and inspiration for much of their art is the East End of London where Gilbert & George have lived and created art for nearly 50 years.
