Elmgreen & Dragset: A Space Called Public
Edited by Elmgreen & Dragset, Nan Mellinger, and Eva Kraus

Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Cologne, 2013

What defines a city’s identity in the year 2013? Public space has served as a meeting place and a stage for action, from discussions and deals to protests, since ancient times. Though then as now, such activities continue to take place in the analogue world, increasingly these interactions have moved to the digital world of the internet. As a consequence, the meaning, use and dynamic of public space is changing. With A Space Called Public, Elmgreen & Dragset present an art project in Munich, showing works by international artists asked to explore the meaning of public space using a fresh approach. An extensive catalogue has been published to complement the project and illuminate the questions it raises by adding theoretical perspectives.

I wrote the texts on Han Chong’s Made in Dresden and Namill’s Inverted Perspective.
