The Art Guys (Michael Galbreth, born 1956 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Jack Massing, born 1959 in Buffalo, New York) are a collaborative artist team based in Houston, Texas.
The Art Guys have worked together since 1983 after meeting while students at the University of Houston. For the exploration of their ideas, they employ a wide variety of media including sculpture, drawing, performances, installations and video.
Described in the New York Times as "a cross between Dada, David Letterman, John Cage and the Smothers Brothers", The Art Guys present a blend of performance, conceptual and visual art that explores the absurdities of contemporary life.
The Art Guys became "not artists" on April 1, 2016 at 12:05 am after 33 years of collaboration. Hallelujah! the blind can see again; the water’s fine.
