The Art Guys (Michael Galbreth, born 1956 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Jack Massing, born 1960 in Buffalo, New York) are a collaborative artist team based in Houston, Texas.
They have worked together since 1983 after meeting while students at the University of Houston. For the exploration of their ideas, they employ a wide variety of media including sculpture, drawing, performances, installations and video.
Described in the New York Times as "a cross between Dada, David Letterman, John Cage and the Smothers Brothers", The Art Guys present a blend of performance, conceptual and visual art that explores the absurdities of contemporary life.
Their work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States including The New Museum of Contemporary Art, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, the Tacoma Art Museum and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
