Catalogue Note
"We have inside ourselves a lot of thoughts, feelings, desires, dreams, hopes, fears – many things inside. And we, as artists have a great, burning ambitious need to tell these things and to put these things out of ourselves.", The artists cited in Robert Violette, Ed., The Words of Gilbert & George, London 1997, p. 158
