"Sompeople find a certain cruelty in parts of our
work,"say the rising conceptualist-collaborators Michael
Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, "butthey are definitely not
more vicious than any real life experiences."Since 1995,
Elmgreen and Dragset have tackled issues of privatization,
gentrification, social alienation and the dismantling of social
welfare. For their first show at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in 2001
they papered over the windows with the announcement
"Opeing Soon Prada."Pursuing and inverting this
theme, in 2005 they installed a mocked-up Prada store on a
deserted road near Marfa, Texas. They have recreated
hospitals and prison cells, and have reconfigured gallery
spaces to spatially deter their would-be audience.
"Ouraim is to investigate some of the power structures
that these spaces derive from, and by exchanging and
replacing some of these structures, show how fragile they
actually are."This monograph is the first extensive survey
of their work to date.
