Posted by Marcus Rosengren 25 Jan Gilbert & George: The Urethra Postcard Art

What, for most people, looks like a rectangle of 12 postcards with one in the centre, is, for Gilbert and George, “an angulated version of the sign of the urethra”. The Britart double act has chosen the pattern for their latest series of postcard collages – The Urethra Postcard Pictures, now on view at the White Cube Mason’s Yard. The pair has been collecting postcards from souvenir shops and sex ads from phone booths around London for years to create a rather bizarre portrait of the city, in all its controversy.
