FRANCE. ART. ELMGREEN & DRAGSET’S BONNE CHANCE EXHIBITION.
Within the sweeping expanse of Centre Pompidou-Metz, the “Bonne Chance” exhibition marks a groundbreaking French dedication to the gay Daen-Norwegian duo, Elmgreen & Dragset. The display boasts a poignant portrayal of social housing from East Germany, encapsulated in a stubbornly shut plattenbau structure, evoking exclusion and mystery. Amidst this artful narrative, visitors encounter a scene – an old station wagon, a Russian registration, and two men, one tenderly embracing the other in peaceful slumber. “The Oustiders,” a striking creation by Elmgreen & Dragset, salutes the often-overlooked installers in the art world, shedding light on their marginalization within an environment that relies on their labor without true integration. Until April 1, 2024, this provocative exhibit challenges societal norms and celebrates the unsung contributors of the art realm.
