East London Life

Today the Tate Modern opens it’s newest exhibition - a massive retrospective by east London’s second-favourite duo (after Chas ‘n Dave) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their meeting at Central Saint Martins.
Well-tailored double-act Gilbert & George’s occasionally shocking, always irreverent art has been pouring out of their Fournier Street digs (a stone’s throw from Old Spitalfields Market) since 1968, and in that time they have hardly ventured out of East London at all, so it is quite an event that they should allow some gallery way out there in SE1 to host this show…
