Elmgreen & Dragset on Creating the Unexpected | Brilliant Ideas Ep. 35

Based in London and Berlin, Michael Elmgreen from Denmark and Ingar Dragset from Norway have worked as a collaborative duo since the mid 1990's. Throughout their career, Elmgreen & Dragset have redefined the way in which art is presented and experienced. Tackling subjects as divergent as institutional critique, social politics, performance and architecture, the artists’ sculptures and installations turn the familiar on its head with characteristic wit and subversive humour.
From transforming New York City's Bohen Foundation into a 13th Street Subway Station in 2004, to placing a Prada boutique in a Texan desert in 2005, their work draws attention to social conventions and prompts a re-thinking of the status quo.

    The genius of their ideas, their flawless execution and their modest demeanor says it all. What a joy to have this opportunity to see and learn about their work.

    hmm...a series of clever performances. It seems like their works are more like pranks rather than art.

    insulting to people without. Meaningless to the people who pitch tents on the freeway exit near the shed I live in. Some artists actually give instead of take and don't have to rationalize narcissism.

    art by (former) architects is always suspect for me. the camp sensibility don't help
