ELMGREEN & DRAGSET

Presenting over sixty works with in five immersive installations—a full-scale family house, a public pool, a restaurant with an adjacent kitchen, and an artist’s studio—this exhibition marks the their most extensive presentation in Asia to date.

Within Spaces viewers will experience new installations of unprecedented scale and form.

In Exhibition Room 1, visitors can enter a 140 square meter single family house designed by the Elmgreen & Dragset, explore its various rooms dotted with sculptural works and furniture pieces, and uncover clues about the lives of its fictional inhabitants.

In Exhibition Room 2, the duo will install a to-scale public pool emptied of water. This melancholic image—a recurring motif in their oeuvre—suggests the decline of civic gathering spaces and the subsequent loss of community.

Finally, visitors will encounter a restaurant named The Cloud. Seemingly caught between its opening hours, the space will be empty except for a lifelike figure of a young woman in the middle of a FaceTime conversation. Other installations will include an industrial kitchen that is reminiscent of a laboratory and an artist ‘s studio.

Through this expansive survey of Elmgreen & Dragset’s spatial practice, the Amorepacific Museum of Art seeks to provide its visitors with the unique opportunity to uncover unexpected interpretations of everyday realities.

Featuring a combination of existing and new works by Elmgreen & Dragset, these architectural interventions will encourage visitors to hunt for narrative threads embedded within the exhibition and become protagonists of the story along the way.
