Short documentary about the wonderfully anachronistic art duo of McDermott & McGough from the Revel in NY website. It says in the description below that they live as if in the 19th century, but I was under the impression that they are now allowing things prior to 1930 to infiltrate their lives. I love their work, it’s just incredible.
 

For over 30 years, the art duo of Peter McGough and David McDermott have been living as though it’s the end of the 19th century. From a townhouse in the East Village they created their art by candlelight, lived without modern appliances and traveled through Manhattan on horseback complete with top hats and the finest couture from nearly a century ago.

As painters, photographers, playwrights and filmmakers, the artists came of age during the same East Village art scene that made superstars of Keith Haring (their one-time roommate) and Julian Schnabel (who’s championed their work). Notorious in their own right and exhibited locally through Chelsea’s prestigious Chime & Reid Gallery, McDermott & McGough have been the subjects of countless stories told both in print and oral legend.

They also just directed a short film titled Mean to Me with model Agyness Deyn that’s getting a lot of buzz lately.
