press release

EVA & ADELE, self-proclaimed as The Hermaphrodite (sic) Twins in Art, are an iconically atypical pair of artists on the current art scene. Making no secret of their transgressing of gender boundaries – always identically dressed in an improbably ultra-feminine vein, but with their heads shaven man-style – they are bent on demonstrating that sexual identity is no simple matter. While remaining discreet presences in terms of the art market, for the last 25 years or so EVA & ADELE have been regular features of the gallery openings and other venues they see as "launch pads for their message". 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.
