Elmgreen & Dragset: Spaces is the first comprehensive publication to focus exclusively on the
artist duo's large-scale installations. Since the early 2000s Elmgreen & Dragset have
transformed conventional exhibition spaces into both familiar and unexpected environments.
These spaces invite visitors to question the social cultural and political structures that
pervade everyday life. Art historical essays and comprehensive desriptions of past exhibitions
provide an illuminating overview of important aspects of their work. Michael Elmgreen (b.
1961 Copenhagen) and Ingar Dragset (b.1969 Trondheim) are based in Berlin and have worked
together as an artist duo since 1995. They have held solo shows worldwide at institutions
including the Tate Modern and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London UCCA Center for
Contemporary Art in Beijing the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen Fondazione Prada in
Milan and Centre Pompidou in Metz. They have been awarded several prizes including the 2002
Preis der Nationalgalerie in Berlin and a Special Mention in 2009 for their exhibition The
Collectors in the Danish and the Nordic Pavilions at the 53rd Venice Biennale.
