&quotSompeople find a certain cruelty in parts of our

work,&quotsay the rising conceptualist-collaborators Michael

Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, &quotbutthey are definitely not

more vicious than any real life experiences.&quotSince 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

&quotOpeing Soon Prada.&quotPursuing 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.

&quotOuraim 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.&quotThis monograph is the first extensive survey

of their work to date.
