Elmgreen & Dragset2 collaborationsSince 1995, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset have created large-scale sculptures, installations and performances that douse new twists on modernist design in pointed social commentary. All of their work, whether a thirty-foot defunct swimming pool or a fictional set of a collector’s home, transforms familiar settings into humorous, uncanny scenarios. Public space is highly important. The conversations that the sculptures provoke within the public are just as important as the art-objects themselves. In fact, Elmgreen & Dragset see their work as a mode of civic duty, aiming to inspire independent thought in their viewers. They do not, however, ask you to agree with them, but instead pose questions that undo the absoluteness of societal norms to reveal - beyond what we are conditioned to believe - what we actually think.
