Day: April 23, 2008

Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset pursue [1] a conscious [2] cultural position [3] that abstracts from [4] issues of power [5], sex [6], and marginalized or subcultural [7] behavioral patterns [8] in an alignment with [9] architectonics [10] and style [11] — as ways of emphasizing the "private" [12] as a reflection of the particular, singular, and non-generic [13] in exploring [14] social subject matters of class [15], privilege [16], gender [17], and nationality [18]. Artforum critic Molly Nesbit joins the artists Elmgreen & Dragset in this first time public presentation in New York City approaching [19] their practice [20] and production [21], as well as their role [22] as theatre directors [23], assemblers [24], and editors [25].
