The Art Guys are Michael Galbreth (right) and my old buddy, Jack Massing, partners in conceptual art shenanigans for the last 30 years (actually, Jack and I were arrested in Houston over 30 years ago for “conceptual art vandalism,” but that’s another story). This year the duo is executing “12 Events,” a series of public events in various locations throughout Houston over the course of the year. On Thursday, July 18, from 4PM until midnight, they are performing “Never Not Funny,” where they will tell jokes for eight solid hours. They certainly have their followers in Texas and beyond and their work is witty and weird (last year they married a tree) but it remains to be seen if they should quit their daytime art jobs and hit the road as stand-ups. “Picasso and a duck walk into a bar….” Find out how good they are and follow them live on Facebook, Twitter.
