Elmgreen & Dragset

Michael Elmgreen è nato nel 1961 a Copenaghen, in Danimarca; Ingar Dragset è nato nel 1969 a Trondheim, Norvegia; lavorano come duo di artisti dal 1995. Vivono e lavorano a Berlino. Con l'intento di svelare e ridefinire il mondo dell'arte, le sue istituzioni culturali e la loro fruizione da parte del pubblico, Elmgreen & Dragset traggono ispirazione dal mondo quotidiano, criticando attraverso un forte e inquietante senso dell'umorismo la struttura sociale e politica contemporanea. Sono noti per le loro numerose installazioni architettoniche e performative pubbliche, tra cui Prada Marfa, un negozio Prada situato nel mezzo del deserto del Texas realizzato nel 2005, e Short Cut, dove nel 2003 spuntavano due auto dalla Galleria Vittorio Emanuele di Milano , prodotto insieme alla Fondazione Nicola Trussardi. Elmgreen & Dragset sfidano costantemente il loro pubblico e il suo immaginario attraverso la creazione di immagini tanto scioccanti quanto spettacolari.


Elmgreen & Dragset sono stati nominati curatori della 15a Biennale di Istanbul (2017). Hanno ricevuto una menzione speciale alla 53a Biennale di Venezia (2009) per The Collectors ai padiglioni danese e nordico e hanno vinto il prestigioso Preis der Nationalgalerie für Junge Kunst all'Hamburger Bahnhof di Berlino (2002).
