In this exhibition, artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset juxtapose emotional figurative sculptures with an extraordinary new large-scale installation that meditates on the fate of civic space.

Running from: Thu 27 Sep 2018 - Sun 13 Jan 2019.

Working together since 1995, artist duo Michael Elmgreen (b. 1961, Denmark) and Ingar Dragset (b. 1969, Norway) produce beguiling spatial scenarios that explore social and sexual politics and unveil the power structures embedded in the everyday designs that surround us. In their uncanny installations, institutional spaces are transformed into metaphors for individual desires and collective identities with subversive wit and tongue-in-cheek melancholy.
