L’œuvre Gilbert and George and David Hockney dined at 8 o'clock on Wednesday 14th of May 1969 se compose d’un menu imprimé et de morceaux de nourriture provenant du repas des artistes avec David Hockney lors de “The Meal”, une de leurs premières performances artistiques (Sculpture Vivante) en 1969. La soirée, organisée par les artistes et conviant treize personnes est l’objet même de l’œuvre mêlant leur vie quotidienne à leur vision artistique : l’art et la vie ne font qu’un.
