Elmgreen & Dragset: Performances, 1995–2011
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Cologne, 2011
Elmgreen & Dragset: Performances, 1995–2011 showcases forty-three performances and live works by Danish-Norwegian artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset, marking the first time the artists’ practice is considered in depth from a performance perspective. Spanning nearly two decades, many of the works have never before appeared in a catalogue. The book includes image documentation and descriptions of each work along with full scripts—accessible here for the first time to a broader audience—for the plays Drama Queens (2007) and Happy Days in the Art World (2011), as well as new essays by curators, critics, and art historians including Aaron Betsky, Jens Hoffmann, and Shannon Jackson. With an introduction by Performa’s founding director and chief curator, RoseLee Goldberg.
