Elmgreen & Dragset’s work is presented in Stillleben mit Gemüse, a solo exhibition at the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main. Two immersive installations by the artists, alongside sculptures and interventions, will radiate throughout the entire building and into the neighbouring Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, creating a series of almost-surreal constellations which place visitors at the centre of an immersive visual experience. By redirecting visitors’ gazes, Elmgreen & Dragset draw attention to moments that are easily overlooked, creating poetic scenes imbued with equal measures of scepticism and humour.
