Elmgreen & Dragset

Beschreibung

Since their first project together in 1995, Michael Elmgreen (*1961) and Ingar Dragset (*1969) have created a much-respected oeuvre, as well as a world entirely of their own. Their amazing architectural sculptures and installations have brought them international renown—for example, there is the multifaceted series 'Powerless Structures,' which now includes over one hundred pieces; the duo’s witty permanent installation 'Prada Marfa 'in the middle of the Texas desert; and their socio-critical traveling exhibition 'The Welfare Show. ''This Is the First Day of My Life ' introduces the most important works by this artistic duo, as well as previously unpublished creations. Three fictional texts help to expand the Elmgreen/Dragset universe into new, related fields. Exhibition schedule: Malmö Konsthall March–May 6, 2007 · Skulptur Projekte Münster 2007, June 17–September 30, 2007 · Memorial Site for the Persecuted Homosexual Victims of National Socialism, Berlin, to be completed in Fall 2007
