For most of his artistic career, Jack Massing collaborated with fellow artist Michael Galbreth as The Art Guys, creating pieces that challenged the definition of art for over thirty years. The Art Guys were known for their subversive artworks that paralleled Dadaism, daring their viewer to react. Most famously, their 1997 exhibition Wildlife at The Contemporary Austin - Laguna Gloria caused controversy amongst the art world by displaying three explicit artworks that drew museum staff to remove them from the exhibition. Dr. Frances Colpitt argued against this censorship, stating, “One of the best things about [their work] is that it is so dada, and it really shows in a very simple way how the Art Guys work.” - Lindsey Lane, “Why a Duck?” The Austin Chronicle, 1997.
