Elmgreen & Dragset

‘Good Luck is the title of an extensive presentation at Pompidou Metz mixing installation, sculpture and performance. The show will feature a full-scale apartment building, a circus arena, a playground and other urban elements that together will create a number of dream-like scenarios, with parts of the exhibition gradually emerging, disappearing and reappearing throughout the duration of the show.’ This is how Elmgreen and Dragset describe their first project in a museum in France, which they imagined to fit in majesty in the Main Nave, while radiating the Forum, the roofs of the galleries and the garden. At the heart of the project – operating as a synthesis of ancient and recent works – young artists, students, circassians and opera singers will interact with hyperrealistic human sculptures to activate various performances on stage.
