Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset talk to Ben Luke about their influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped their lives and work. This is the first episode of A brush with featuring an artist duo. Over the past 30 years Elmgreen and Dragset have consistently created unexpected scenarios within and outside of the museum and gallery structure. Playful, even mischievous at times, and yet shot-through with searing critique and sincere expression, their sculptures and environments are fundamentally concerned with space, both private and public, and the people and communities that occupy it. Elmgreen was born in 1961 in Copenhagen and Dragset in 1969 in Trondheim, Norway. They now live and work in Berlin. They discuss the influence of Hannah Ryggen and Vilhelm Hammershøi, Michael's meeting with Felix Gonzalez-Torres and his effect on their work, and how they feel their work relates to Samuel Beckett's writing, and the final, moving scene of Wim Wenders' film Paris Texas. Plus, they give insight into their lives in the studio and answer our usual questions, including: what is art for?Elmgreen & Dragset: L'Addition, Musee d'Orsay, Paris, until 2 February 2025; Elmgreen & Dragset: Spaces, Amorepacific Museum of Art, Seoul, 23 February 2025; K-BAR is open now at Khao Yai Art Forest, Thailand; Nurture Gaia, Bangkok Art Biennale, Bangkok, Thailand, until 25 February 2025.

At the start of September, a massive chunk of the international art world descended on South Korea for a bounty of high-profile art offerings. The marquee event was Frieze Seoul, in its third edition, at the Coex convention center in the luxe Gangnam district, running alongside the long-established Korea International Art Fair. But they represented just one element of the action. All over Seoul, museums and galleries were opening big shows, angling for attention. Samsung's Leeum museum hosted an Anicka Yi blowout and a superb show of young artists curated by Rirkrit Tiravanija. The beauty giant Amorepacific welcomed Elmgreen & Dragset at a museum in the basement of its David Chipperfield–designed headquarters, while Gagosian set up shop with a Derrick Adams exhibition on the ground floor. Up above, local heavyweights came out swinging—PKM with Yoo Youngkuk, Pace with the potent pairing of Lee Ufan and Mark Rothko, and Jason Haam with Urs Fischer. Celebrities were everywhere. Parties were everywhere. No one seemed to be sleeping. Everyone was on the move. And the festivities were not confined to Seoul. The esteemed Gwangju Biennale inaugurated its 15th edition in that southern city the day after the fairs opened, a sharp, tough show curated by the Frenchman Nicolas Borriaud that ran alongside more than 30 national pavilions. And along the country's southern coast, the latest Busan Biennale also drew crowds, with more than 60 artists selected by its curators, Vera Mey and Philippe Pirotte. There was so much happening that it was impossible to see it all—even with a dedicated driver—which many VIPs had—and even if you were willing to forgo moments of rest. This week, Artnet Pro editor Andrew Russeth is joined by London-based reporter and co-author of the Asia Pivot newsletter Vivienne Chow to discuss the art, the food, and everything in between.

In unserer 43. Folge der KUNSTPAUSE sprechen Felix von Boehm und Charlotte Paulus mit Klaus Lederer über die Skulptur „Statue of Liberty“ aus dem Jahr 2018. Es handelt sich um ein Originalstück der Berliner Mauer, in das ein heute nicht mehr funktionierender Geldautomat eingelassen wurde. Das Werk steht im Innenhof des Hamburger Bahnhofs - Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart als permanente Außenskulptur und wurde von dem Sammler Heiner Wemhöner an die Stiftung der Freunde der Nationalgalerie für zeitgenössische Kunst geschenkt. Die oftmals spielerischen Installationen und Skulpturen des skandinavischen Künstlerduos adressieren Themen wie Identität, Machstrukturen und Konsumkultur. In Berlin ist das Künstlerduo bekannt für das von ihnen entworfene Denkmal für die im Nationalsozialismus verfolgten Homosexuellen.

Når kan du vente at eggstokkene til kua våkner til liv igjen etter kalving? Knut Ingolf Dragset og Vilde Kvale deler av sin erfaring fra veterinærpraksis og fra å kurse bønder og andre innen brunst og fruktbarhet.

I en ny udstilling på Statens Museum for Kunst udforsker kunstnerduoen Elmgreen & Dragset forestillinger om ”hjemmet” med udgangspunkt i en af duoens store forbilleder: den danske maler Vilhelm Hammershøi. I denne anledning genudgiver jeg podcasten ‘Hjemme hos Hammershøi’. Kurator på Ordrugaard, Jacob Riis, fortæller om udstillingen, der inviterede dig ind i de stille stuer i Strandgade 30. Lejligheden på Christianshavn, hvor Hammershøi levede og malede i en årrække, og hvor nogle af hans bedste værker blev til. Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) anses for at være et af sin samtids mest originale talenter, og hans værk appellerer i høj grad til den nutidige betragter. Han er især kendt for sine poetiske, stemningsfulde og underspillede interiørmalerier, hvor lys og tid synes at stå stille.
