accrochage «Struggle(s)» avril - juin 2012
Michael Elmgreen, né en 1961 au Danemark, et Ingar Dragset, né en 1969 en Norvège, sont les artistes cachés derrière le duo Elmgreen & Dragset. Ils vivent et travaillent entre Londres et Berlin.
Associés depuis 1995, le duo Elmgreen & Dragset réalise des sculptures, installations et performances bousculant les conventions de présentation et d’appréciation de l’art. Dans leurs œuvres, ils explorent les fonctions culturelles, sociales et politiques des espaces publics. En interrogeant de façon ludique, ouverte et jamais didactique notre vision traditionnelle des espaces sociaux, les artistes constatent que nos relations sociales prennent en compte un caractère économique grandissant – un développement considéré comme relativement problématique.

accrochages «Sexe, Argent et Pouvoir» janvier - mars 2013, «Rouge» september - december 2012
Born in 1963 in England. Lives and works in London.
Visual artist Tracey Emin uses her life’s events as an inspiration for her works, which range from painting, drawing, video and installation, to photography, needlework and sculpture. She reveals intimate details of her life, hopes, humiliations, failures and successes, in pieces that are frequently both tragic and humorous. Emin engages the viewers with representations of universal emotions and establishes a dialogue with them. Her creations have an immediacy and often sexually provocative attitude that firmly locates her body of work within the tradition of feminist discourse.

accrochage «Voyages Intérieurs» april - june 2013
Born in 1973 in Argentina. Lives and works in Buenos Aires and Paris.
Leandro Erlich creates sculptures and humorous, interactive installations that deal with illusions, breaching limits and unstable boundaries. Through this transgression of limits, the artist challenges certain absolutes and the institutions that reinforce them. His artworks explore the way we understand certain kind of phenomena and interact with different spaces. Without the rigor of scientific experimentation, he challenges our perception of reality, undermining certainties. Erlich draws inspiration from literature, notably from the work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. The world of film also inspire him with directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, Roman Polanski, Luis Buñuel and David Lynch, whom, as Erlich says “have used the everyday as a stage for creating a fictional world obtained through the psychological subversion of everyday spaces.”
