Elmgreen & Dragset is an artist duo made up of Ingar Dragset and Michael Elmgreen. The pair met in 1994 in Copenhagen, Denmark, when the Nordic Dragset was taking a theater course, and Copenhagen-native Elmgreen was composing & performing poetry. A year later, they started working as a duo artist.
In their performances, installations, and sculptures, Elmgreen & Dragset explore the relationship between art, architecture, design, and social critique.
They curated the 2017 Istanbul Biennial and have presented at the Venice Biennale. Their artworks belong in the collections of the Rubell Museum, Moderna Museet, Museo Jumex, the Fondazione Prada, the Astrup Fearnley Museet, and the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum.
