Elmgreen & Dragset: Powerless Structures
Artist duo Michael Elmgreen (b. Denmark, 1961) and Ingar Dragset (b. Norway, 1969) have been working together since 1995. They deal with questions of gender, individual and political identity and the role of art in public life and in the economic-cultural reality of the global age. In their first exhibition in Israel, Elmgreen & Dragset present, throughout the Museum, several works that accumulate into a startling, radical installation.
