BIOGRAPHICAL CATALOG OF THE MODEM'S COVERS AUTHORS

32 EVA & ADELE , self-proclaimed as The Hermaphrodit Twins i n Art, are an iconically atypical pair of artists on the current art scene. Their real names and ages will stay a mystery. Their artistic concept consists of daily performative acts in which life and art mix. The two artists play on sexual difference – or lack of differentiation – using our society’s behavioural and dress codes. Always identically dressed, always surprising and ultra-feminine in their glitter makeup and yet with their heads shaven like men, they take their “ EVA & ADELE ” work to the widest public, as much in the selective world of art (at exhibition openings) as in the most munda- ne situations: at the supermarket, in the underground and on the street. The two of them first met in 1989 (and have lived together ever since), by choo- sing Berlin for their home and work space. In 1997, they started to do their per- formance shows which also include ‘material’ works in the exhibition business. To create their EVA & ADELE works, the two artists draw on their own lives (“Art imitates Life”). In 2011, they married as a same-sex couple, a marriage possible only because EVA’s transsexuality had been officially recognised. Their appearances, each one an “ event within the event” , offer not radical chic but authentic performances in which every detail has been meticulously prepared and rehearsed. In 2017 the artistic duo presented the exhibition “You re My Biggest Inspiration” the Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris. Curator was Julia Garimorth .
