Om Elmgreen og Dragset:

Elmgreen & Dragset (Michael Elmgreen, København, Danmark og Ingar Dragset, Trondheim, Norge, bor og arbejder i Berlin) har arbejdet sammen som kunstnerduo siden 1995 og har boet og arbejdet i Berlin siden 1997. I deres kunstneriske virke undersøger de spørgsmål om identitet og tilhørsforhold fra et sociokulturelt perspektiv, og udfordrer konventionelle måder at lave udstillinger på. De arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem kunst, design og arkitektur, med fokus på skulptur og installation. Mange af deres værker synes at være fanget mellem en handling, der lige er sket eller er ved at forekomme. Drivkraften i kunstnernes tilgang er historiefortælling, hvor narrativerne ofte udfoldes og antydes gennem præcise fremstillinger af flygtige øjeblikke. Deres værker udfordrer ofte den institutionelle kontekst som de udstilles i, både rumligt, men også i relation til de tilhørende normer.

Om udstillingen:

Med installationen Short Story har kunstnerduoen Elmgreen & Dragset forvandlet Copenhagen Contemporarys Hal 2 til en tennisbane. Når man træder ind i udstillingshallen møder man en tennisbane i næsten fuld størrelse, hævet en smule over gulvet. Det hvide net og opkridtningen af banen markerer spillets regler på det orange-brune underlag, og indrammer en tyst scene, hvor de tre skulpturer; Flo, Kev og Bogdan, spiller hovedrollerne. Elmgreen og Dragsets Short Story er som et filmisk stilbillede, der fanger øjeblikket efter en kamp – men det er op til publikum selv at udfylde og formulere fortællingerne, frosset foran dem i tid og sted. I Short Story får vi ikke mange svar eller forklaringer. Tre karakterer står fast foran dig, men de subtile fortællinger bag forbliver flygtige og vanskelige at få fat på. I stedet træder vi ind i en arena, hvor vi kan reflektere og tale om emner som konkurrence, individualisme, inklusion og eksklusion.

About Elmgreen and Dragset

Elmgreen & Dragset (Michael Elmgreen, Copenhagen, Denmark and Ingar Dragset, Trondheim, Norway, live and work in Berlin) pursue questions of identity and belonging from a socio-cultural perspective in their artistic practice. Since 1995, they have been working together at the interface of art, design and architecture with a focus on sculpture and installation. Many of their works seem caught between an action that has just happened or is about to occur. Story telling is a driving force in the artists’ approach, where narratives are often built and suggested through precise presentations of transient situations. Their works often challenge the institutional context in which they are exhibited, both spatially and in relation to their attendant politics.

About Short Story

With their installation Short Story, the Danish-Norwegian artist duo Emgreen & Dragset have transformed Copenhagen Contemporary’s Hall 2 into the setting of a tennis court. When entering the gallery space, visitors will encounter an almost full-size tennis court, slightly raised off the ground. The net and the painted lines mark the rules of play on the orange-brown court, framing a silent scene where three figurative sculptures Flo, Kev and Bogdan are the protagonists. Elmgreen & Dragset’s Short Story is like a film-still that captures a charged moment after a tennis match – but it is up to the audience to complete the abrupt narratives frozen before them in time and space. In Short Story we are left looking for answers or explanations. Three characters stand before you, but subtle and contextualizing narratives remain elusive. Instead, we enter a space that invites reflection on topics such as competition, individualism, inclusion and exclusion. Learn more about the installation here: https://copenhagencontemporary...
