Elmgreen & Dragset

The Scandinavian artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset kicks things off with the exhibition Handle with Care. The ambiguous title refers to the familiar warning labels often found on boxes and crates used to transport artworks as well as to the care taken in human interactions. Many of Elmgreen & Dragset’s works explore such tensions. In their large-scale installations, the duo often employs life-size, naturalistic figures of people in everyday clothing, which they then stage in unsettling situations. The Berlin-based artist duo, consisting of Michael Elmgreen (born 1961, Copenhagen) and Ingar Dragset (born 1969, Trondheim), has been collaborating since 1995. They have had solo exhibitions worldwide at renowned institutions, including the Tate Modern and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen and the Fondazione Prada in Milan.
