Suits

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.As readers discovered in The Art Guys' first Abrams book, Think Twice -- the catalogue of their 1995 exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston -- their unique brand of subversive humor is a springboard for insightful observations about society and behavior. In Suits, the duo have found a fresh, fun, outlandish way to make us think about our material culture as we never have before.
