Guided tour with Elmgreen & Dragset
The exhibition will be guided by the authors of the Read exhibition themselves: the Scandinavian duo Elmgreen & Dragset. The project reflects on the relationship between books and artistic creation.
The Czech audience might know the Danish-Norwegian artistic duo through their works, which have received significant attention from the world media. These include Prada Marfa – a permanent installation in the form of a closed luxury goods store in the middle of the Texas desert – and Van Gogh's Ear, an outdoor sculpture depicting a vertically constructed swimming pool, which was first exhibited at Rockefeller Plaza in New York and is now on display in Wuhan, China.
Read presents sculptures, performances and new works by Elmgreen & Dragset alongside works by other artists, mostly from the collection of Kunsthalle Praha.
