Gilbert and George page at 'Some Things about Art and Cities' (1669 words)
	Gilbert and George's famous matching suits were a challenging fashion statement when they were young men in the 1960s and 70s.
	Gilbert and George want to be 'normal' in one sense -- partly in order to get attention from people who wouldn't be interested in conspicuously 'wacky' artists -- but then be subversive from within that position.
	Gilbert and George clearly do want to challenge and upset some traditional values and preconcieved ideas -- it's a bit silly to suggest that they are not like that.
