Summary:
"Eva & Adele, self-proclaimed as The Hermaphrodit [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."--Museum website.
