That approach pre-dates their six installations inside the London Louis Vuitton, which will remain in place until Dec. 1. Take their work Prada Marfa. In 2005 Elmgreen & Dragset set up a replica of a Prada store among the tumbleweeds of the Texan desert. Stocked with real goods but lacking a door that actually opens, it portrays the retail space as a site of both worship and frustrated desire. Powerless Structures, Fig 101, currently on display in London’s Trafalgar Square, depicts a carefree child on a rocking horse. It contrasts sharply with the austere statue—located on a nearby plinth—of George IV on horseback. Their cheeky sculpture imagines a future without war, and questions the tradition of building monuments to commemorate both victors and the vanquished. Their wit comes through at Oslo’s Astrup Fearnley Museum. One of their works currently on display there is Gay Marriage, two porcelain urinals joined by a stainless steel tube.
