Description
The largescale installations of the artist duo
Elmgreen & Dragset: Spaces is the first comprehensive publication to focus exclusively on the artist duo's largescale installations. Since the early 2000s, Elmgreen & Dragset have transformed conventional exhibition spaces into both familiar and unexpected environments. These spaces invite visitors to question the social, cultural, and political structures that pervade everyday life. Art historical essays and comprehensive description of past exhibitions provide an illuminating overview of important aspects of their work.
