Elmgreen & Dragset (b. 1961 & b. 1968)

‘In general we prefer to create art works which can function on various levels and can be read from different angles. When we make a Prada shop in the middle of a desert, even the truck drivers who pass it on Highway 90 stop their lorry to take a closer look at this strange shop selling fashionable high-heeled shoes and expensive handbags’ (M. Elmgreen and I. Dragset, quoted in A. Beitin, ‘The Appearance of the Demiurges’, in P. Weibel and A. Beitin (ed.), Elmgreen & Dragset: Trilogy, London 2011, p. 63).
