Items related to Elmgreen and Dragset: This is the First Day of My Life
Synopsis
Since their first project together in 1995, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset have created a much-respected oeuvre, as well as a world entirely of their own. Their amazing architectural sculptures and installations have brought them international renown - for example, there is the multifaceted series Powerless Structures, which now includes over one hundred pieces; the duo's witty permanent installation Prada Marfa in the middle of the Texas desert; and their socio-critical traveling exhibition The Welfare Show.
This Is the First Day of My Life introduces the most important works by this artistic duo, as well as previously unpublished creations. Three fictional texts help to expand the Elmgreen/Dragset universe into new, related fields.

Elmgreen & Dragset: This Is the First Day of My Life
Seller: Browsing Is Arousing, Middlebury, VT, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, 320 pages. "Some people find a certain cruelty in parts of our work," say the rising conceptualist-collaborators Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, "but they are definitely not more vicious than any real life experiences." Since 1995, Elmgreen and Dragset have tackled issues of privatization, gentrification, social alienation and the dismantling of social welfare. For their first show at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in 2001 they papered over the windows with the announcement "Opening Soon Prada." Pursuing and inverting this theme, in 2005 they installed a mocked-up Prada store on a deserted road near Marfa, Texas. They have recreated hospitals and prison cells, and have reconfigured gallery spaces to spatially deter their would-be audience. "Our aim is to investigate some of the power structures that these spaces derive from, and by exchanging and replacing some of these structures, show how fragile they actually are." This monograph is the first extensive survey of their work to date. Record # 361619. Seller Inventory # 361619
