The Art Guys are in there somewhere: On Friday the mischievous duo executed Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, the latest of their yearlong series of 12, umm, performances. Cocooning themselves in these 6-ft. sections of privacy fencing, Jack Massing and Michael Galbreth proceeded to spend 2 hours publicly scuttling about the reflecting pool and Hermann Square in front of the Joseph Finger-designed City Hall.

Up next? The Art Guys plan to cross the street for 8 hours. Well, not just any street — the death-defying intersection of Westheimer and Hillcroft.

Art or insanity? A close call.
Lol, well if they’re having fun, whatever —
So are the homeless guys in the boxes down the road performing art as well?
Does this count as ‘actively seeking employment’ for federal statistical purposes?
Can they do the same thing with shrubbery?
It would be really artsy to cross the street while inside the fence thing.
Talk about the Emperor’s new clothes. How those two bozos make a living from that nonsense is beyond me.
It would be funny if they got tagged… (graffiti or red, either would be funny)
Since when is crossing a street for 8 hour an art? It’s an everyday simple task at best and a suicide mission at worst(on that intersection).

This weekend there’s going to be an are exhibit in my living room of me sitting on the couch and making snarky remarks for 8 hours. No-one welcome.
Is that Peterman from “Seinfeld”?
Never ending lame-ness.
What Houston art is all about.
They bore me.
No it’s Wilson from “Home Improvement.”
Art Guys do thing. Swamplot haters roused to comment. Mission accomplished.
If everyone were the same, life would be really boring.
Keep up the good work, Art Guys.
Copying the builders who shield their port-a-potties with cedar fencing is not art in many places.
It would’ve been nice if no one let them out. ;p
damn hipsters… get a job.
